Testimonials
"I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with Juniper Ridge Community School in the education they are providing my 2 children. I have a daughter in 5th grade and a son in 7th grade.
When my husband and I decided 3 years ago to move our children it was no small decision. Both of our children were overwhelmed and stressed out in the educational environment they were in. When I would pick them up from school each day and ask them "How was your day" they would not share anything they did in school. I started seeing my son, especially start to shut down. When they had homework it was a fight to get them to do their work and it disrupted the peace in our home.
When I interviewed JRCS I was blown away with the approach they take with the children. One of the biggest changes I've seen with my 2 children is how engaged they are in their learning. They hop in the car when I pick them up and they tell me all about what they learned that day. They both have grown in many ways while at JRCS. They take pride in being a part of the larger community and in their studies. Now they both do their homework without a fight and a lot of times they start doing it without a reminder. They enjoy their work, even if it's a challenge.
We love JRCS and there is nowhere else we want our kids to be."
