My children had an amazing experience at this school from 2nd-8th grade and have exceeded all expectations as they moved on to high school! They were prepared educationally, socially, and emotionally going from a small encouraging and supportive environment to a large high school. I highly recommend The Birches Academy!

I am a parent of two children at The Birches Academy. My daughter is in 7th grade and has been there since 1st grade. My daughter is super bright and has always been challenged. The Birches meets children at their grade level. My daughter is being taught math two years above her grade level. My son is in 3rd grade. He has been there since Kindergarten and stayed back one year. He has been on an IEP since Kindergarten. Both children who have different learning styles and needs Love the school and love going to school. All the Teachers are amazing. Communication is always great, they are dedicated, and you can sense their passion for our school. At The Birches, parent involvement is encouraged. The arts are integrated with academics, which has been wonderful. I feel very fortunate to have found such a wonderful school for our children.

I have two children at The Birches, in 6th and 4th grade, and couldn't be happier with our experience. My oldest switched from town school in 2nd grade and my youngest was part of the first kindergarten at The Birches. Teaching is individualized, allowing students to move ahead if able or gain extra support if needed. Math is held during the same time throughout the school so students can move up a grade if they are excelling. The arts integrated approach allows creativity and hands on learning. We are so lucky to be a part of such an amazing school community.
