Review №1

My son has been at this school since K, now is in 2nd. We have been consistently impressed with the project-based instruction and emphasis on social-emotional development. We love that our kid is nurtured as a whole person. He has learned that struggle is a valuable part of learning and that being a kind and thoughtful community member matters. I grew up as a smart kid in advanced programs throughout my elementary and secondary education, and while they were probably the best option available for me at the time and place were I was educated, I am grateful every day that my son has the chance to be educated at a school that fosters his genuine curiosity for oh-so-many things and doesnt make being smart the big thing about him.

I was a student here in the early 2000s. Although I didnt love school than I had several great teachers that made an imprint in my life.

I, like the previous reviewer, was a student at Thornton Creek in the early 2000s and it a terrible experience. Thank goodness I was transferred into the APP program or my spark of learning would have suffocated. The teachers are ignorant and abusive. One of my friends was often beaten by the 2nd grade teacher or called vulgarities by the gym teacher. I learned nothing at school and what learning I brought from home was disliked. The teacher I had in Kindergarten discouraged my from reading 3rd or 4th grade books and threatened my with time-outs if I read a big book in class. More than lacking the ability to encourage inovation or learning this school actively oppresses it. Do not send you child here under any circumstance.
