School Reviews

We have had a terrible experience at this school. The discipline methods are outrageous, it is like a mini military academy where kids do not have any freedom. We found out the teacher was yelling in my son's face, threatening him about how he would be punished at home, my son started having emotional problems, became withdrawn and started crying himself to sleep every night. We ended up pulling him out of school and home schooling him. The school management is not very helpful or understanding either. When we complained, instead of compassion and help, we were met with an attitude. Keep away from this school if you can. The management needs to start listening to the parents and needs to start changing the way this school is run. It is definitely not a fun, nurturing environment, very disappointed.

I went to Wintergreen for Kindergarten through 5th grade. I started Kindergarten in 2010. Wintergreen was the most amazing school I could every imagine. I am in high school now, and I absolutely cherish my memories that I had at Wintergreen. My teachers were so sweet and caring. I could back there now and they would all be able to recall my entire class by name. It's a very welcoming environment where the teachers are very committed to giving a child the best education they can offer.
