We had a unique situation. We had just come back from Siberia, Russia after spending 12 years there as missionaries. Due to our isolation out there, my son had not learned to socialize. Upon the recommendation of a child psychiatrist, we moved back. She strongly recommended that we find a school that will cater to my son's unique requirements. A school that will understand where he has been and that will be patient with him and work with him as he learns social cues and norms. We were very worried about not finding a school like this until we visited Calvary Chapel School. After our visit, we knew that was the place for him. It's been 6 months since he started his first day and the amazing change we have seen in him as surpassed all of our expectations. He has learned to communicate and socialize with other kids. The teachers are so patient with him and always call me if anything happens. They have reached out to us and work with us to help understand how to help my son best. They are truly an answer to so many of our prayers. I HIGHLY recommend this school. I feel like we are part of a big family here. Thank you Calvary Chapel School!
