Revo Academy is truly one of a kind. This school sees each student for who they are, recognizing their unique talents and needs. Specializing in gifted and high-ability learners, Revo challenges each child appropriately, allowing for subject acceleration while providing support where needed. My only regret is not starting sooner.Before Revo, my child was in public school, where he had friends and kind teachers, but he was terribly unhappy and bored. As a naturally curious learner with a deep passion for exploring topics, he needed more—more depth, more engagement, more challenge. At Revo, he has finally found that. The school fosters a love of learning, encourages students to ask questions, and provides an environment where intellectual curiosity is celebrated.One of the greatest strengths of Revo is its phenomenal teachers. Every teacher from homeroom, PE, music, art, and enrichment has been outstanding. They are not only experts in their fields, with advanced degrees specializing in gifted education, but they are also deeply dedicated and truly connect with their students. Their ability to engage, challenge, and support each child is remarkable. Communication is excellent, and their passion for teaching is evident in everything they do.Beyond the high-quality academics and outstanding educators, Revo creates a positive, supportive climate where students develop agency, self-advocacy, collaboration, and kindness. There is no toxic competitiveness. Students recognize their own strengths while appreciating and celebrating the strengths of their peers. It’s an environment where students feel valued, accepted, and empowered to grow academically and personally.If you have a bright, inquisitive child who craves meaningful learning and a nurturing community, Revo Academy is an incredible place.

This is our first year at Revo and our daughter has thrived at the school. The personalized education offered at Revo very much suits our daughter who is highly motivated to learn and excels academically. Revo teachers are outstanding. The other kids are smart, kind, and fun.

This school is just a dream come true. With flexibility for students to jump up levels for math and lessons that lend themselves to multiple levels, our kiddo comes home everyday so excited about school!

My daughter was in the very first class at Revo (or at Temple, I should say). Tammy and Niyome are amazing and I’m so happy to see their school thriving!

Our daughter started in 2nd grade and it was the best decision we made for her education. She came out of school on the first day and told us she loves Revo and wants to go every day. Now 3 years later, she still loves Revo everyday! She has made great friends, excels in school as demonstrated through MAP testing twice per year, has social and emotional support, and thrives here in the amazing school community. All of the teachers have been absolutely delightful and are truly gifted educators. They have great field trips, projects, differentiated coursework, after school enrichment, and overall strong gifted curriculum. We highly recommend Revo!

Revo is the epitome of a nurturing environment that fosters learning, a genuine love for knowledge, with a deep consideration for social and emotional learning. From the moment you meet the teachers and staff, you can see their commitment to fostering individuality, creativity, and curiosity; all with a deep understanding of a gifted child’s unique needs. The administration, teachers and staff have taken great strides to truly understand who my child is and his unique needs. The curriculum is tailored to challenge students, with emphasis on critical thinking, communication, problem-solving and community. Revo does an incredible job of differentiating instruction for my child, who performs at great level in some subjects and a year past grade level in others. Beyond academics, Revo offers enriching extracurricular activities (both during the school day and after school). The sense of community at Revo is unparalleled. Parents, teachers and students come together to celebrate cultures, achievements, and create lasting memories. As parents, we couldn't be more grateful for the relationships built and positive impacts Revo has had on our child and our family. If you're seeking a gifted-education school that values excellence, innovation, purpose and individuality, you’ll find the perfect fit at Revo Academy.

My son started at Revo in 1st grade. When we took the tour I was so impressed with Dr. Sloboda, the framework for education and the hands on learning I saw in every classroom. When my son transferred to Revo it was incredible to see how he personally responded to this environment. His peers are wonderfully creative, collaborative and kind. My hypercurious child is once again bright and full of wonder and questions. This was the perfect fit for my hyper curious, cerebral, creative, early-reading, kiddo. Mrs. Granado brings Aloha energy and mindfulness to these kids in the most amazing way. What a gift to my child’s world. Looking forward to our continued journey at Revo.

My daughter has been at REVO for 2 years now (started in Kinder) last year. The pros list is endless. Starting with the obvious, small classrooms, incredible curriculum, self paced learning, hands on directors….the true care and love for your child is unmatched. They lift them up, encourage them and motivate them not only academically but socially and emotionally. In my mind there is truly no cons. Not only do the kids get everything they could get from most public schools (music, PE and art teachers, talent shows, recitals, field trips, etc) we have so much more. REVO is a community as well as a school. My daughter loves going to school every day. It’s a diamond in the rough and we are grateful every day we found it.

When our child started at Revo four years ago, we never anticipated how much we would love this incredibly special school. Each year has been the most wonderful experience! From the administration to the teachers, everyone is always accessible, enthusiastic, and nurturing all while making learning fun and exciting. Not only is the level of education far beyond anything else we have seen, but the sense of community makes Revo a truly special place. There are incredible Friday assemblies (led by students) along with special events throughout the year in addition to exciting field trips all in an overall environment that encourages outside-the-box thinking. Revo truly is unique where a complete education is valued and supported. Not only has our child thrived academically, but, the support he has received to become a wonderfully well-rounded person is not something he would have received anywhere else. Simply put, Revo is the most fantastic school led by the most wonderful individuals where the well-being and development of their students is always the top priority.

The teachers and staff at Revo are wonderful! They are truly the brightest, most creative and compassionate group we have had the opportunity to work with as parents. The caring environment has challenge my child and has brought out the very best in him. He loves his school and is embracing learning and being part of a community in a way that he had not done before. We are so grateful to have found a place that provides the academic rigor that he needed and the supportive environment that helped him to flourish.

Revo is such an excellent school for those looking for engaged teachers and administration and a great small student/teacher ratio experience. Their interdisciplinary curriculum provides an interesting and integrated way for students to learn and be curious about the world. This school also provides appropriate challenge for kids who are advanced in their academics by tailoring to each student. Highly recommend this amazing school!

Revo has been a great choice for our son who needed more academic rigor than what he was getting at the public schools.

Our family has been with Revo from its very first year. Teachers are exceptional and genuinely understand the advantages and disadvantages of being gifted. The school is small, and the focus is on the individual needs of the student. Grade levels are flexible and students have the opportunity to work at the level that suits them regardless of age. The school is not for everybody and students who are not asynchronous learners may get frustrated. But for those of us with kids who are not thriving in the public school environment, this place is absolutely wonderful.

We love the school - greatest staff from the management to teachers. Super happy with everything. We let our son join the school because of its tailored program for the gifted. However, what impressed me even more now is the emphasis on being kind. Love the atmosphere. My son loves to go to school everyday. He loves the people and finds the learning interesting. He is in K but learning 2nd grade math. If you are looking for a school that can takes care of your children's academic growth, soft skills ( the school teaches them growth mindset since K), leadership, and the importance of being kind to each other, this is the place. The teachers are fabulous. The parents are very involved, so bullying is not a concern here. They even teach the children the boundaries of a relationship - all these soft skills that matter the most.

My daughter was having anxiety at her old school and was well-ahead academically and bored. On her second at the school, her teacher realized she needed to be in a higher math class and simply moved her up a grade (for reference, it took the public schools months to even assess each student, and after that they were unable to provide work at her level). And this year her teacher moved her up another grade, unprompted by anything other than feeling she would be happy and well-placed there. The teachers are really paying attention and challenging students when they need it, which, in my experience, is super rare! I think most teachers have the best intentions to do these things, but most schools have classes that are just too big to act. Revo's classes are very small, so students simply cannot fall through the cracks. Now my daughter is very happy in her math class and she loves trying her hand at competition math every Friday! She had the opportunity to speak in front of her whole school as the week's CEO (a weekly opportunity for a chosen student) and I did not see any of the anxiety she used to have as she addressed all of the classes at once. When I have asked her if any of the kids are ever mean to each other, she says "MOM, it's REVO, there are no bullies and everyone is nice and wants to be at school!". She also enjoys the many Zoom guest speakers, and comes home to tell me about all that they said. One day, she came home wanting to work at NASA one day, and another day she wanted to talk all about the new wildlife crossing coming to our area. She get a well-rounded education and enjoys being there, after being in a traditional environment where she was pretty bored and uninspired. They teach the kids to think and solve problems, not how to fill in the right answer. This was evident when I was a guest speaker last year in her class. The questions the kids asked were much more thoughtful and insightful than the usual questions I get at school visits. I would highly recommend this environment for bright kids who are bored in school and looking for something more.

What an amazing place! My child is supported and challenged, with attention to his learning style and interests. We wish we'd found it earlier, but we've made up quickly for lost time. The level of activities is well beyond what he would be getting in public school, yet he never feels overwhelmed, only excited about learning. We love Revo!

I found Revo via word of mouth, and what a blessing it was. My son has always been introverted, shy, but very bright. In his second year at Revo he is more confident, outgoing, curious, and most importantly, excited to go to school. I cannot say enough about the incredible teaching staff and female-run founders that truly care about each child and making sure they thrive!
