The Prentice School

Extremely disappointed with this school. I submitted summer school application for my 1st grader with ADHD. He got denied because they "need the students to be able to self regulate without causing distraction to their fellow classmates and the need for the teacher's intervention". Well, ADHD is characterized by impulsive behavior and the school's claim to fame is working with ADHD kids. I guess I was wrong to think that "teacher's intervention" is part of what teachers do whileTeaching. Perhaps that's what teachers do at other schools, just not this one...

If you have a child with learning disabilities, and other disorders such a ADHD or dyslexia, this school is for you! I just wish I had learned about it when she was in 'regular' elementary schools. She went in unable to read, when she came out, she couldn't put a book down! She's entering high school Now, and I have so much piece of mind knowing she is ready to read at her grade level and we have slowly closed that giant age & grade reading and writing gap!' They have the nicest teachers, so patient and caring, it really is a great school!!

This is truly a place of magic. Not only are the program and methodologies top notch, but the staff and teachers are some of the most dedicated and intelligent people I have worked with.

I read so many great things about Prentice online in some Facebook groups that I'm in. After talking to my husband we decided to enroll our son in the summer enrichment program. Because of Covid we weren't sure the school would actually happen. We rented an apartment close by and took the drive from Northern California, Bay Area. Because of Covid we just had to drop our son off after a temperature check. We never got out of the car. My son loved going every day. There was no communication between parents and teachers. The only info I had to go on was what I got from my son. At the end of the program we received a quick note about what was worked on and what he should continue to work on. Hopefully it was just because of Covid that the interaction and communication was limited. We didn't get a baseline from the school so it's hard for us to gauge if the program helped much. Our son has been talking non-stop about our time in Southern California and really wants to go to Prentice next summer.  I really appreciated the efforts and extra steps Prentice took to protect out kids during this pandemic!
