Here’s what some of our parents say about The Alpine School….. 

Feedback from parent of child in Class 2

“I would like to provide some feedback regarding James' first term at The Alpine School. 

James is not one to say what he is feeling but rather internalizes it.  As parents it can be quite hard to work out what is going on.  However last week we had our first major insight when I wanted to keep him home from school on Friday due to a snuffly nose.  He was so upset that he wasn't going and when we questioned him about school we were met with 'I LOVE IT!!".  In the past we have had ongoing battles to get him to go to school but this year we have experienced the exact opposite.  From our perspective, the fact that he loves going to school and has totally embraced craft (last week he taught himself to knit with needles) is more than we could have hoped for.  The Alpine School has absolutely surpassed all our expectations and it is only the end of term 1!!  

I would like to thank you for all your efforts in establishing the school and the staff for their work in the classroom and playground.  It has provided a wonderful nurturing environment where kids can explore their surroundings and using their imagination, create their own fun.  At home, James is once again, playing on his dirt mounds, building tree houses and playing outside and generally seems to be more content confident in himself than he has been in a long time.  I can only attribute this change to the positive influences from school.  We have our happy boy back which is lovely.

Well done on a great first term and we look forward to the rest of the school year.

Kind Regards,
Ange”

Feedback from parents of children in class 3 and 5

“Our 2 boys have attended The Alpine School since it first opened in 2019.

As a family we have been so happy with the gentle and nurturing atmosphere of the entire school. The teachers are just so committed to the children and to helping them develop into independent and creative beings. The boys have formed friendships that will last a lifetime and have always had teachers who inspire them to be and do their best, no matter what their interest are. As parents who want to raise our children to be individual and free thinking people, we couldn't be happier with our choice of school for them.
