Rossman has provided our family with the best educational, social, and developmental environment we could imagine for our child. The speed at which he has learned new concepts, his ability to think critically and problem solve, his interest in various cultures and topics, and perhaps most importantly - his self confidence - has been taken to a level far beyond his peers at other schools. Teachers are invested and actually seem to enjoy their jobs. The other children are the type of kind, considerate kids with whom we want our child to become friends, and their families are equally as wonderful. We are confident that in choosing Rossman, we are giving our son the best possible educational and developmental foundation.

I'm fairly confident our family was traumitized by the years spent at this school. There was a parent popularity contest to the extremes (think needy and in need of validation, parent partying dynamic), exclusion, parent/child entitlement, dated curriculum, the curriculum was presented too fast and too much so studying was lengthy and inefficient in elementary school. I wished we never sent our children to Rossman School.

Rossman falsely advertises a 8:1 ratio, the staff is unfriendly and avoids tough questions. This school has gone downhill with their new leadership, which makes it incredibly difficult to validate the tuition. Would not recommend this school to anyone.

Overall a great school which develops a good foundation for kids both in character building and educational fundamentals

The success of our 3 children was due to having a strong academic foundation built by Rossman's challenging academics, commitment to developing character, and a happy environment...and equally invested parents!

Rossman is one of the best schools in our area and we are delighted we chose to send our sons there.

Rossman provided our kids with an outstanding educational experience. They came away from their time at Rossman more than prepared for the rigors of secondary school both in terms of academics and character development. I highly recommend Rossman School.

5 star experience! Rossman provides a platform for strong academics, an emphasis on character development, and a family-like community. We were looking for a school that provides strong morals and values in addition to the superior academics. Rossman’s values consisting of honesty, kindness, respect and responsibility are taught young in Junior Kindergarten and emphasized frequently by students as well as staff. It truly is a family- like atmosphere.Rossman’s faculty are very connected to each student allowing for a tailored approach both with emotional and academic development. The 8:1 teacher/ student ratio as well as one class per grade allows for a challenging and supportive learning environment.

Rossman has been a very special place for my three kids. The teachers foster strong character, build a healthy work ethic based on a foundation of challenging academics, and provide a nurturing environment for my children to learn and grow. We couldn't have made a better choice for our children.

I have 3 children who have been attending Rossman for the past 16 years. It has served as a great learning center for my children to progress academically and develop strong character traits.

Rossman has a great curriculum, educators and staff are engaging, and our child loves going to school everyday!

Rossman has completely exceeded our expectations in our first year of the Junior Kindergarten program. The school provides the perfect balance of academic excellence and character development, instilling kindness, respect and confidence. With only one class per grade, every child is of the upmost importance. The school cares deeply about the success and happiness of each child and family. It is not just a school or a stepping stone; it is an exceptional community of wonderful families and friendships.

I look back fondly on the years I attended Rossman. I believe that some of the most important framework in one's life is formed during the years they attend elementary school. Rossman was, and still is a great place to learn and grow!

As a student 30 years ago, I only considered one private school for my 2 children and it is Rossman

Our son has enjoyed Rossman school from PreK. He will graduate sixth this year and has a love for learning, that was fostered by Rossman faculty. It truly is a great place and has been worth every penny we have spent on his education. The faculty and staff are first class, beginning with Mrs Shipley, the head of school. All of the teachers are exceptional, but certain one's have had an effect on my son that will last forever. We all know of a teacher who influenced our lives and I can attest that my son has had multiple teachers that have positively impacted him forever.

Rossman encompasses everything we searched for in a private school setting. The teachers are nurturing and loving while providing the structure and guidance my kids need. The small class size ensures excellent involvement between child and teacher. I have been impressed at the level of feedback and overall communication. My two children have blossomed in their first years at the school. Not only I have seen growth academically, I have witnessed social maturity and confidence.

My three children who are now adults attended Rossman School. We and they loved every minute that they attended. The academics were exceptional but even better was the character development program. The teachers and administrators were loving and supportive and fully accessible. Our kids were immensely successful in high school and college. The older 2 are completing PhDs in their respective fields and the third has just graduated from college and is spending the year in a community service program. I attribute a great deal of their success to the foundation they got at Rossman.
