"I worked at Almondale for over two years, and it was a wonderful environment for both students and teachers. If you are tired of your child flying under the radar at their current school, then consider Almondale for your family. They will get the attention they deserve at Almondale to grow into a fantastic person and student."

"My children, age 8 and age 11, enjoyed Almondale Academy’s student-centered summer camps. This was our first time at Almondale and my children attended full days for about six weeks this summer. We have attended more structured summer school programs in the past, but my children enjoy having more autonomy during the summer months, since they don’t get that as much during the school year. I love that the teachers will work to structure the camp according to the kids’ interests. For example, there may be a cooking week or a fort building week during summer camp at Almondale. The morning is usually focused on that week’s theme, but the afternoon is the students’ choice whether that is playing with Lego, playing games, drawing, or water play. It was the perfect balance for my kids. More importantly, though, the best quality about Almondale are the teachers. They are all very kind and spend the extra time to really get to know your child. They were also wonderful about keeping me informed about the needs of my children. Not all schools are that attentive and caring. I am so glad we attended Almondale Academy this summer and we look forward to attending in the future."

"Somewhat disappointed in their summer camp. They claim to have special camp types like art and theater but it functions more like a daycare with minimal rigor in the artistic arena. Considering the cost, I expected more. Better for children under 10 who are more interested in play time than for older kids who are more serious about developing a skill."
