We love Greenwood! The faculty is amazingly dedicated, and my kids love the hour of active play every day! So much good project-based learning goes on outside too!

The teachers were amazing for the year and a half my 6 and 7th grade daughter attended. Parents on the board were great, and we love the current head of school. There are a lot of opportunities for parents to get involved, and I've always felt welcome in the school.
