My family feels very fortunate and grateful for Anderson School. It is such a gift to families like ours that have struggled in the past with finding a challenging educational environment. We searched and searched for a place that was truly different and built especially for gifted & talented students and we are grateful that we didn't stop looking until we found Anderson. The school has met and exceeded all our expectations.

My family is sincerely grateful that there is an Anderson School, because our lives have changed for the better since finding it!

I am a French teacher. In my later years, I tutored physics, math, French, and chemistry (subjects I taught for 35 years) at Borders Books. Four years ago I was hired at Anderson School. In my many years as a teacher, I cannot remember being in such a relaxed environment as Anderson School. The children of various ages are gifted, outgoing, and greatly encouraged to develop their talents under Dr. and Mrs. Anderson's tutelage. I can only hope and wish that all educators would take a good look at Anderson School (and themselves) to better their own teaching habits.

The Anderson School totally turned around things for my child. I cannot say enough to thank them.

Finding the Anderson School was such a blessing on so many levels for us, and especially, for my son. We had been led to this most amazing oasis where each child is nurtured and every part of the child “learns” by revealing and sharing who they are. You, Mrs. and Dr. Anderson, have been blessed with these incredibly compassionate hearts, higher planes of intuition, years of experience teaching, all garnered together making you so humanly adept at knowing when a child is feeling particularly vulnerable, alone or misunderstood. You know what this child needs to hear. I have observed you do this hundreds of times. and beside one's deepest uncharted territories. I hope you know that on a scale 1 to 20, 20 being the best overall experience ever, my son would rate Anderson at 100.

I want to thank everyone at the Anderson School for giving me back my son who loves to learn. Six years ago I brought my broken and unhappy boy, who hated school, to the Anderson School and they turned him into a happy, well adjusted young man who is looking forward to entering college this Fall, at the age of sixteen. It has been a wonderful relief to know that the environment he was in was safe and free from the all the typical problems, like drugs and crime, found in other schools. To me, the freedom from worrying about such things was a great gift. Thank you all!

We are very thankful to Dr. and Mrs. Anderson for being the kind of people we can trust to raise and educate our beloved son.

My son has expressed to me countless times how much he has enjoyed the freedom he experienced in learning and working at his own speed. He actually finished THREE years of math in just one year. He worked very hard, and I can honestly say I don't think he misused even one moment in learning last year. Thank you for giving him an experience he will NEVER forget. I appreciate so much the Anderson School giving him this wonderful opportunity.

My son finished another great year at Anderson. And in viewing the school play on their website, I must admit that the kids were fantastic! This was the best Shakespeare production my son has been in. This performance did wonders for his self-esteem.

I wish to say thank you to the Anderson School. Our son is filled daily with a sense of pride, confidence and excitement to go to school and learn. We love that all children can be themselves and learn at their own level, with no pressure and no worries of being judged by peers and staff. We are excited to have the opportunity to attend another year at Anderson School!

From our epxerience, there are a large number of ADHD students enrolled at this school. Thus, I would suggest before enrolling that you ask how many students attend who have ADHD and the classroom management techniques used for these students. This school was not a good fit for my pg student as much of the learning was workbook or worksheet based. In my opinion, tuition is also very high.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for everything that the Anderson school has done for my family. I honestly do not know what we would have done without the school.

Parent on 2/10/2009

Since placing my child in the Anderson School, I have seen him emerge from his shell and turn into a fine young man. Thank you. The personal attention and loving care that he has received is deeply appreciated.

I will never find the words to express to you how much I have seen my son learn and mature since coming to the Anderson School. I see him open up and share his thoughts, hopes and dreams. He is learning to trust people again. He is excited about getting ready for school and I cannot tell you how much it means to him. They treat the boys with respect and lead them in learning for themselves how to be accountable, responsible for their actions and for their solutions. I know everyone at the Anderson School puts so much heart, energy and TLC into these children. They are making such a huge difference in our son's life and in our family. Thank you for all you do!
