School Reviews
| 5 My daughter has attended The Branch School for five years. She is in middle school. She is receiving an amazing education here. The small class sizes make it possible for teachers to offer very experiential learning opportunities and to really know your child's strengths and weaknesses. Homework is reasonable and allows for extracurriculars and family time in the evenings. We also love the daily outdoor time TBS prioritizes, even at the middle school level. Most importantly, though, this school fosters a community of kindness and respect amongst the students. Teachers and administrators live these principles and set the tone for a campus free from bullying and exclusion. The Principal is approachable, very dynamic, and deeply cares about every student at TBS. - Posted by Parent - BKM |
| 5 My son attended The Branch School from 3rd to 8th grade and he just graduated in May 2020. He loved every single moment at TBS. The class sizes are small enough for the students to get personalized attention. Each student is recognized for their originality - they do not have to fit into a "box" to attend or feel at home. TBS was truly our second family, and we miss it dearly. I am so impressed at how prepared my son is for high school. He attends a prominent academy in Virginia and immediately he was able excel, which shows me that TBS prepared him well both academically and socially. I would recommend anyone to TBS - if you are looking for a warm, competent, and caring school for your child - this is the place! - Posted by Parent - Valerie Wilson |
| 5 Our children have attended this school since they were 3 years old and we are beyond content. The families are so close; the curriculum is challenging; the teachers are so loving! I like that they have 2 teachers per a class, that way one can teach and the other help a struggling student catch up or a student that is ahead keep moving further ahead. They focus so much on kindness I'm grateful we have never had to encounter the meanness that's so prevalent in other schools now. The counselor, a third and kinder teacher are especially gems. - Posted by Parent - Momof3 |
