"I wanted to let you know what my child shared with me last night. She said: 'Mom, I love Ambleside. The days go by so fast that a week seems to be like a day, whereas at [my old school] it was just the opposite, one week seemed like a month. We were given the assignment in math and given 2 hours to complete it, so a lot of us just sat around bored out of our minds. I am never bored at Ambleside. We have short sessions and we go through a lot of things. It keeps the interest and is probably why it goes so fast and we have so much fun.' Thank you again for the school. My children are thriving." J.S., Parent
"From the first day of school, I could tell Ambleside was going to be a different experience for my child. Normally his response to my question, "How was your day?", would be "Boring" or "I have sooooo much homeork." But now when I ask "How was your day?", his normal response is "Great!", and he proceeds to tell me about the things he learned that day. He literallly talks for about thirty minutes about what was discussed at school...very unusual for an eleven year old. His focus has shifted from merely getting a particular grade on a test, to simply learning....and he's learning a ton!" J.C., Parent
"Today I had a really good day. Nothing special happened at school, but it was just a good day. They pretty much all are. It is just happy without anything big and exciting happening. It is calm happy. At my old school there was a forced, stressed way of doing things that made me want to put things off, but at Ambleside I want to get things done because I can look forward to doing something creative when I complete my work." S.L., Student
"I want to stress how valuable I believe it is for my kids to be learning the habits emphasized at Ambleside. I was more concerned in the beginning that there would be enough challenge in different parts of their day. But I have come to see such value in the many different aspects of learning at Ambleside, including the teaching of the whole child, that I have relaxed. I am so thankful for the care that the teachers put into the children and the development of them as persons in Christ!" T.R., Parent
