Greenwood school has an amazing faculty and a philosophy that has allowed me to watch my children learn to read as they learned to walk and talk. With all the joy and self delight those events entailed.
My daughter devours books. My son enjoys reading plays and making films. Greenwood has engaged their intellect and supported their self esteem. In my opinion, two of the most important things a school can do for a young child. My daughter graduates this year having scored in the 97%tile on her SSAT. Happy, engaged, polite, articulate and poised to go wherever she wants. Kudos for helping me lead my children where they are destined to go.
