Reviews
"We've been so happy with the preschool program at SK! Our son has really flourished there. The teachers provide personal attention and really care about the childrens development. They go above and beyond. My oldest son also loves their summer camp program, and we can't say enough good things about it. The community is very welcoming. Thanks, SK!"
"We've been part of the S-K community for six years. S-K is both nurturing and challenging academically which is an incredible combination in a school. The dedicated teachers meet the kids where they are and create an environment where each student has the opportunity to thrive. We are so appreciative that this educational option exists in Ann Arbor. S-K fosters an authentic love of learning."
"The Preschool @ SK is hands-down, the best program in Ann Arbor. SK is committed to small class sizes school-wide and builds their curriculum so that it is project and place based and includes thoughtful character development. Our son is an active child and SK is committed to regular movement inside the classroom and there is an emphasis on getting outdoors daily (often multiple times). The teachers in my son's preschool classroom complement each other and provide a diverse environment for learning. I could not have hand-picked three better people for my son to be learning from on a daily basis. We view his teachers as an extension of our family and their exceptional communication helps us to feel connected to our son and his learning while he is at school. His lead teacher, Clara, is truly one of a kind and has built, in my opinion, the best preschool classroom in all of Ann Arbor. We are so incredibly happy with SK and our son will reap the benefits of attending this amazing school his entire life."
"We have been thrilled with our experience at Summers-Knoll. Our boys are in 3rd and 1st grade, and both have been at the school since Kindergarten. They get personalized attention in a small classroom setting. It's a wonderful environment for the happy, curious learner. We're also a huge fan of the math curriculum. Summers-Knoll uses the Singapore books but supplements with games and activities that give meaning to the numbers. The teachers are innovative in this selection of activities."
"Summers Knoll is a progressive school that really gets to know your child and individualizes their learning. They make project and place based learning happen in an amazing way. My kids are always challenged to move forward in their learning, and they love going to school!"
