"Our son has been attending Blooming Grove Academy for over 4 years. We like the emphasis the school places on the Corsini 4 R's (responsibility, responsiveness, resourcefulness, and respect). Hand in hand with BGA we are teaching my son to be caring, respectful, open, and responsible not only for himself but those around him. I love the classroom meetings and student involvement in problem solving, helping kids grow and learn they have many choices to resolve problems. At BGA, Walker has had early opportunities to take Spanish and have choices in what he wants to learn with their selective program. He is learning valuable social and educational skills that will carry him successfully through his school years and beyond. Due to his experience and love for his BGA school family, we have chosen to make sacrifices to afford him the whole child education offered by BGA. We are so pleased to continue to be part of the BGA family."

"Miles has been attending BGA for 7
years. What first drew us to BGA was the small class sizes, the
wonderful teaching staff and the school philosophy of teaching not only
academically, but socially and creatively as well. What has kept us
there is the feeling of family and community. Our son has had the
opportunity to learn at his own pace, interact with students of all ages
and cultures, and feel that he is an important part of the BGA
community. He has flourished not only as a student, but as a person
as well. He carries what he's learned about respect, responsibility,
resourcefulness and responsiveness into all areas of his life. He is
growing into an intelligent, well-rounded, self-assured young man and, as
parents, we know this is due to our partnership with the wonderful
BGA family!"

"Blooming Grove Academy was great for Jacob as a total person and for
me as a parent. Life can be so much easier when you learn and use the skills
taught at Blooming Grove Academy to the students and the parents (in the parenting
classes)."
- Kevin Bellis
"Our family has received tremendous benefits from the holistic
approach. Both of our children learned to recognize and build on their
strengths and weaknesses, how to be responsible for their own school
work, how to express their feelings, to get along with others and
to participate in leadership."
- Sherry Otto
"Paige has really flourished. One of the concerns
we had was how she compared academically with kids across the state,
particularly in reading and math. She did extremely well in both subjects
when she took the 3rd grade ISAT last year."
- Dave Bolek
"Our children developed self-confidence and
social skills. The diversity helped them expand their concept of the
human family. As parents we learned that our children were capable
of doing for themselves more than we gave them credit."
- Don Martin
"I felt the school was very warm and friendly.
There was acceptance no matter what race or religion."
- Jim Shaddle
"Caleb has very fond memories of Blooming Grove
Academy. He learned social skills as well as educational skills. Philosophy
is good. Teachers were great. Blooming Grove Academy has a nurturing
environment and got Caleb off to a great start that I believe will
continue to remain with him."
- Brenda Katz
"Blooming Grove Academy was a very good experience.
He thrived in Blooming Grove Academy's relaxed atmosphere. It also
made my life easier because he didn't have the pressure of testing
and daily homework. As a family, we learned much about working together
as a family unit. Blooming Grove Academy was a very positive experience
for our whole family."
- Mary Beckman
"One of the biggest benefits was Morgan learned
responsibility. We have never had to tell her to do her homework.
Because Morgan is so responsible, she works very hard in school. Her
best subjects are math and science. She graduated 5th in her class
in 8th grade and received the President's Outstanding Academic Achievement
Award."
