Seneca Academy

I love Seneca Academy!!! I am so happy we chose this school for our children! The teachers are outstanding, and I love how small the classes are! There is a real sense of community within the school. I appreciate how easy it is to get in touch with my kid’s teachers if I have a question. I am very impressed by the IB program. Most importantly, I feel like my kids are truly getting the best education possible.
I read a previous review about how they never met their child’s teacher, and had to wonder how that is possible? One of the best things about Seneca (to me) is the ample amount of opportunities we have to meet with the teachers and be in the classroom. There are meet and greets, back to school night, parent/​teacher conferences (even for pre k), and parents are encouraged to come in several times a year to be a guest reader, or help with holiday parties and other activities.
Our experience with Seneca has been exceptional and I would highly recommend it!

We had high hopes for the school but were very disappointed and abruptly took our son out of the school after numerous «negative» evaluations by the teacher, who by the way, I never met in person. I realized that they didn’t care about my son because when we pulled him out of the school, not a single person from the school called to ask us if everything was ok or inquire about the reason for our decision.
Here are a few issues we encountered:
1) He was 1 of 2 boys in a class with 14 other girls and we were told that it wasn’t an issue.
2) Extremely condescending and elitist staff
3) Our son was being forced to play with other kids and if he chose not to, they made us feel there was an issue with him for not fitting into their checkboxes
4) The staff and teacher were very aloof and not accessible. Their system to drop off and pick up the students doesn’t allow normal interactions with the teacher and as a result, I never met my son’s teacher
Overall, horrible experience and wouldn’t recommend.

I love this school. I had my son here for preschool and it was a wonderful experience with faculty and staff who truly care about each child as an individual. So excited to have him be a part of the Elementary International baccalaureate program.
