Mistwood Educational Center is a wonderful school. It not only prepared my kids for their next schools, but my kids were more prepared than ANY of their peers. They provide a loving, supportive and nurturing environment. I am so grateful that I found them.

I am a high school teacher and when I was looking for a school for my young son; I wanted a place that was embracing project based learning, cross curricular inquiry and had the whole child holistic approach. It was a tall order, but I found all of it at Mist Wood Educational Center and I would never consider sending my child anywhere else.
