Edelweiss Preparatory School takes great care in providing a positive learning environment for children. Our goal is for children to learn in a fun way and to develop a life long joy of learning.
A recent satisfaction survey from our current parents showed one word to describe our school and these were common responses: Excellent, Top-Notch, Quality, Caring, Consistent, Outstanding, Child-focused, Friendly, Enriched, Exceptional, Warm, Nurturing, Educational, All-encompassing, Diverse, Positive, Fulfilling.
It is wonderful when parents feel strongly enough about our program and school that they write letters to tell us their thoughts and experiences. Below are some samples we have received.
