We have 2 children at XX Academy. We have been astonished with the level of commitment from the teachers and staff, giving their utmost best to our kids and preparing them academically along with building their social/emotional strengths. Anyone in the Twin Cities area NEEDS TO CHECK OUT THIS SCHOOL. Amazing families, amazing extracurriculars, amazing staff, great location....and did I say how ABSOLUTELY AMAZING the teachers are? Every teacher within the XX program has extensive experience and combines that with their love of seeing the children be at their best, they really know how to achieve the best from each and every student.

Students are engaged and challenged to achieve. There are opportunities for kids to get extra help if needed. We love the accelerated programs and immersion.

Xin xing is a very good school in a good school district. Children are challenged to do hard things with Chinese and Math. The teachers are all great and we are just so happy here.

I have 3 kids at XinXing, and I have been very impressed every step of the way. The principal is very visible and good at communication. I love that there are 3 programs in one school - English, Spanish, and Chinese - and that the kids from all 3 programs interact with each other and can have friendships and understanding across the programs. And the teachers in the XinXing program are amazing. They have great communication with families, they work really hard, and they are very aware of how each student is doing. If a student is not getting a concept, the parents will hear about it right away and the parents and teachers will work together to find a solution. I can't speak any more highly about the teachers in this program. One teacher even invites the kids to her house at the end of each year for a party. All the teachers know my children so well and care for them deeply as people and as students. I also love the special events that this school prioritizes each year like the Imagination Fair, the talent show, the Chinese New Year dance performance, the read-a-thon, Tri-Lingual Bingo Night, etc. It's a very organized and cohesive organization and a challenging curriculum balanced nicely with fun.

Overall, I'm very happy with XinXing Academy / Eisenhower Elementary School for my two kids. I feel that the teachers genuinely care, and my kids are getting an all rounded education with a good balance academic, social-learning and emotional support. Teachers have been very communicative and contactable. Administrative staff always visible and approachable - you can see them in the morning drop off and at pick up. Homework is reasonable. My kids have always been above their grade in academics and I feel that XinXing has been successful in keeping them challenged. For an elementary school, I feel the school has inspired my kids to learn and be curious because school / teachers make learning fun. My kids are happy to go to school each day and that counts a lot for me.

I have been so impressed by the quality of teachers, administration, and staff at Xing Xing. Would highly recommend for students who are highly dedicated and interested in learning Chinese.

My son is at this school for five years, he learns tremendously, and the classroom environment is awesome. Teachers and students are all helping each other, teacher guides, and peer learning happens a lot. Teacher communications is also very prompt. I witnessed my son become very responsible and independent for his learning gradually. I am very happy with what my son has achieved.
