Simply Amazing! here's the good stuff..My child in nearing the end of her kindergarten year at Voices. She has excelled in so many ways. She knew how to read a only a handful of words at the beginning of the school year now she reads absolutely everything..she even attempts hard words. Beyond that she is more intellectual and asks thousands(literally) of questions. Her spanish speaking skills are amazing. We speak only english at home yet she has become conversational in spanish with her friends at school. She has learned to read/write at least 200 words in both languages combined. The teachers and leadership at this school are something I have never seen before. It's truly a family atmosphere. All issues are addressed immediately and there are countless opportunities for parent involvement. here's the not so good stuff...Voices is relatively new. The amenities at this school aren't that great. The classrooms are ancient and many of the restrooms are outside. I wish they had more enrichment opportunities for the kids such as field trips. Also now that I see how much my child can accomplish I wish they would spend more time pushing children like her beyond their grade level.

I am very pleased with the education my son is recieving at Voices. This is his 2nd year at Voices and he is in the 1st grade. I am very proud as to how much my son has learned in the year and a half he has been there. Voices will be the only school for him until he reaches High School. I am proud to share my son's experience to all I come in contact with expecially those parents who are looking for a better education for their kids. Ms. Teso and staff are committed to higher learning.

My son is attending his second year at Voices and loves it. I have nothing but positive things to say about the school and staff. Principal Teso is an amazing leader and fierce advocate for education. Her passion is shared by the staff at the school. I am proud that my son and eventually daughter will complete their K-8 education at Voices.
