El Paso Country Day School 220 East Cliff Drive, El Paso, TX 79902

"I have been tempted to write a review on several occasions this year, but decided to wait until the IOWA test scores were released so that I could give a complete review. Now I can tell you that this school is truly amazing! It has exceeded my expectations, but most importantly my son is happy to come to school everyday. The children are in a challenging academic environment where they learn in fun and creative ways, like no other I have ever seen. The faculty and staff are educators at heart. The only regret I have is not enrolling my son at EPCDS sooner."

"What an amazing school! After moving back to El Paso and visiting several private schools we decided to enroll our children at EPCDS. This has without a doubt been a blessing to our family. My children are not only thriving academically but socially and emotionally. Testing well beyond their grade levels and surprising me everyday with their achievements. El Paso Country Day School teachers and staff truly care for each child and create a save environment for them to focus on learning and growing. Individualized attention and specialized instruction really make this a one-of-a-kind educational experience. This school is truly in a league of its own! Could not be more happy and excited to watch my children reach their full potential!"

"Excellent school and teachers. When we moved to El Paso, we visited several (>5) schools in the area. In this school, the children stood out as very communicative, academically advanced and very bright, and teachers stood out as committed to excellence in working with children and dedicated to teaching as a profession. We easily decided that this was the school where we are most likely to see our 4-year old son thrive. My son is in the preschool class, and while bilingual, he started attending the school with poor knowledge of English. Within a few months of attending the school, he was communicating in English very well. I think the reason is the emphasis put on communication and interaction in the classroom, and with other children across grades and all the school’s teachers. Otherwise, I also think that teachers and their teaching style helped my son to adjust well academically. He is enjoying the math, and tries to "apply" it in everyday life. For example, he counts dimes to check what he can buy with them, he counts to “one hundred” when hearing some large numbers discussed, as he wants to estimate “is that little or a lot.” He is very pleased that he is learning more languages (Spanish and Mandarin), and enjoys extending the Spanish words he learns into simple sentences at home (we try this together). As he previously mostly enjoyed playing and engineering type of activities, I have been pleasantly surprised at his academic progress at EPCDS and how much he enjoys the school and academic activities."

"Amazing school and amazing staff! They are truly dedicated to knowing each kid's needs and strive to know each child individually. Academically excellent! Our two sons have the best teachers that are truly role models. I would encourage all families looking at possible school options in El Paso to consider this school."

"I can't say enough about how wonderful of an experience my family has had at EPCDS. The staff are amazing educators who continually go above and beyond their roles to provide the best for their students. They have embraced my family as their own and extended so much support and care that I could never thank them enough. If you want the best care and education for your child, look no further... This is the place your children can call their home away from home."
