My children have had to repeat a grade this past year due to the lack of teaching core subjects while at Journey for several years. The positive reviews one sees after negative reviews are written by the marketing dept that trolls the internet. As if by wanting my child to learn, i'm wanting them to be 'burnt out.' Pathetic excuse for the poor academics. it was a waste of time but a lot of fun for sure. Developmental approach is a respectable way if only there were consistency in the teaching, discipline policies and administration. After 12 yrs, this school should be rock solid and it's not. The school needs an Administration that will be there for 10 years to really build the school. This one will be gone in a year or so... and then, starting over once again... Reality, the school has a poor reputation out in the larger community from all the families who have left because of problems encountered.

I cannot say enough good things about this school. The educators are passionate, dedicated, and truly inspirational. The sense of community can be felt as soon as you enter the campus. Everyone just seems happy here. People who are unfamiliar with Waldorf education methods might not "get" what they are doing here. But once you see the whys and the hows, it all makes sense. Most people who do not agree with the way public schools are run these days are attracted to Waldorf methods and this school really shines for them. If you want your kids burned out by third grade and taught to the test, you probably won't like it here. If you want your child to thrive in an environment that fosters creativity, developmentally appropriate academics, interdependence, critical thinking skills, and life-long learning, this is the place for you. It is for us, that's for sure.

We left after many years and wished we left sooner. Several yrs with a very weak teacher, poor classroom mgmt skills (didn't even correct or return homework), NO communication,lots of free playing time. it was scary! My child is way behind and has lots of bad habits to break. DESPITE many complaints to ADMIN., nothing was done and I was treated disrespectfully. CHAOS should be the name. It looks good on paper but it all depends on who is teaching. Each class varies and it is water downed Waldorf. Look at a real Waldorf school curriculm and you will see the difference. I regret tremendously that we wasted so many years there. The parents are mostly really nice and naive and the community hooks you in but remember, this is your child's education! Not a playtime for your interests. Poor communication overall, spotty policies that aren't followed, favoritism of special families who donate a lot of money. I would only recommend for Kindergarden which is delightful.

This so called school is a camp for raising losers! It should be shut down. They are putting innocent children in danger in more ways than one. Totally irresponsible to be able to get funds from tax payers to pay for this so called school, its a small group of irresponsible parents.
