To find a school that holds all the characteristics I desired in my daughter's first school is absolutely amazing. The environment is so inviting. From the informative texts, the personal calls and the overall teaching style are just awesome. She is learning life skills as well as academics. Libertas is the best.

Libertas has been the best decision for my sons. It's not just a school it's a village of engaged professionals who care about educating our children. My boys are both autistic and I can truly say they are flourishing academically and socially and this is their first year attending. I am looking forward to more successful years ahead.

Libertas is definitely working for my 4year old in the pre-k program. The lessons that are taught I appreciate her knowing are cleaning, preparing breakfast and folding clothes. She cannot wait to get home to help around the house. Those opportunities increase their independence, self belief, confidence and esteem. It's not a so called traditional style of learning. They are free to move around the room instead of staying at a desk.
