Park Maitland School

"I am extremely hurt after being a member of the Park House, now Park Maitland South family for two years. This may be long. We had our oldest in and put our 2 year old on the waiting list. We were told repeatedly that we were first on the list and priority as it is a family member. We got the call that they had space for our youngest! Not even 20 minutes later we were told "sorry we now no longer have the space" Come to find out they accepted 3 new families for the school year and another that week. It didn't matter we were on the list since February (it's now September). It was a difficult decision but after small moments and this one big incident of feeling disrespected and, frankly not valued, we pulled our oldest out. After pulling my son out we have been charged $500 in September from a check from FEBRUARY! We are small business owners and this came out of our business account with no warning AFTER we pulled our son from the school. Christy, unfortunately, is the common denominator here. Her own staff has told me horror stories and I feel so badly for teachers that work there that also had to pull their children because of Christy's behavior, attitude, and disrespect. For a school with this price tag, it is not worth the money spent. I will say the teachers are AMAZING and that is who we miss the most!"

"We love Parke House! Our daughter is so loved and well cared for, they treat her like family. She is learning so much and I couldn’t be happier with her teachers each year. This was the absolute best decision for us, I can’t recommend them enough."

"I have had 4 children go through PHA and now my youngest is in Kindergarten - my kids all loved Parkehouse! Many of the teachers have been there for more than a decade sending their own children there - that tells you all! My older kids are in college now - they were well prepared for academic achievement and personal developement - and even went back to work at PHA. I would recommend Prakehouse to anybody who wants a loving and safe environment for their children going through these really precious years for their childhood. All thumbs up!"

"We love Parke House Academy. The teachers and staff are so welcoming. We visited multiple schools before picking Parke House and many of them sent our daughter running for the door. But visiting Parke House she was instantly all smiles and excited to be there. She’s in Ms. Brumley’s 2 year old class and has grown so much socially and developmentally in just the few months she’s been attending. She jumps out of bed every morning excited to go to school!"

"Being a teacher and a parent at this school, I get to see both sides of the coin. The family feeling at PHA is evident when you walk through the door and small class sizes ensure your child will will receive a more personalized education. The teachers are encouraged to do as many hands on activities as possible with the curriculum to reach a variety of learning styles. This makes learning more enjoyable...for the student and the teacher! :) I have one child go from pre-K through 5th grade and another still attending. My son was well prepared for middle school and left with a well-rounded education, entering into honors classes. All of that is a nod to the awesome teachers at PHA!"
