Hear Directly From Our Families

We have served hundreds of happy families over the last 27 years. Below are reviews from current and past Sparhawk families and students. 

invested

"We absolutely love everything about Sparhawk from the creativity, school environment, kindness, and the most importantly ... the education! Each teacher is invested and fully supports the mission. Our children are thriving here and we could not be happier."

 

- Sparhawk Parent

transformation

"My son went from merely existing in his previous school to actively participating in a thinking, expressive culture. I am so proud as i watch the transformation of my son."

 

- Sparhawk Parent

laugh, learn, play

"What can I say? A school after my own heart! Where children laugh, learn, and play! Where children learn about community, world citizenship, and the art of being human!"

 

- Sparhawk Parent

loving school

"Awesome learning environment for my 5th grader! He went from a large school with some bullying issues to this small, loving community where learning is much more of an exploration and experience than fitting round pegs into round holes and checking off basic rote milestones of the industrial/educational model. He went from saying he hated school to saying he likes school. That's huge!"

 

- Sparhawk Parent

test: book

"Sparhawk has been a gift for our family. My child has attended Sparhawk now for five years. During this time we have seen him blossom into a kind, compassionate, bright child who loves learning. He thrives in the environment that they have created."
