A Word From Our Clients…

My daughter did a week-long half-day camp with Community Classroom this summer. She LOVED the combination of science and movement. The staff, particularly Megan, did a phenomenal job connecting with her and finding ways to keep her engaged. She keeps asking when she can go back! Thank you Community Classroom (with Ascendance).
Our 12 year old son is on the autistic spectrum, has ADHD and dysgraphia, and we decided to home school him. The Community Classroom has been a godsend for us, helping our son with writing and with math. It has never been a struggle and he truly loves going and enjoys the one to one contact. Math is no longer a struggle, and he actually requests to do his math work now! Our tutors are so engaging, professional, and truly a joy to watch them working with our son. I acknowledge it has been a struggle financially. I look at it as an investment in our son's future and my wife's and my sanity. I whole heartily recommend there services.
All of the tutors I have met have been so friendly! And I love that their spaces are designed to help children with learning difficulties in mind.
Working with The Community Classroom was incredible to say the least. From the speedy response after I had initially reached out for support to the time we ended, the service was like a breath of fresh air for my family. Our tutor was more than flexible given our situation. From day one of connecting with us she listened to our story and decided she’d like to work with my son. Christina was very personable, patient, and dedicated to helping my son. She helped him gain the confidence he needed to succeed, not to mention how much this uplifted his spirit. I was always kept in the loop with a weekly chart to see exactly what my son had done for the week. This was extremely helpful in seeing the strides my son had made. If ever needed again I’d connect with The Community Classroom without hesitation and would recommend them as well.
I really can't convey enough how extraordinary The Community Classroom is. My daughter attended their Summer Leadership Camp for Girls. I've never seen her respond so positively to any camp or program. It's her favorite of all time. The small group size worked well for her. The counselors and the structure of the program were well thought out, so inclusive and upbeat; and so steeped in joy and support. It's clear the Community Classroom is foremost a labor of love. How fortunate we are to have this gem in our community.
What a terrific experience my daughter, Elle, had tutoring with The Community Classroom! Elle took Spanish III Honors and she needed a tutor to help her. Dr. Allen matched Elle with Juan, an educator from Ecuador. Not only did Elle improve her Spanish fluency, but she was able to attain an A in the class! Working with Dr. Allen and Juan was a blessing! I highly recommend The Community Classroom for your children’s tutoring needs!

Dandelions and the Power of Relationships in Teaching

Dandelions and the Power of Relationships in Teaching By Megan Allen, Owner of The Community Classroom Yesterday, when I picked up my daughter from school, she handed me a bouquet. Not the kind you get from a florist or that comes pre-wrapped in cellophane—but the kind made with joy, sunshine, and a child’s intention.  She had taken a solid ten...
