"Thank you for teaching us dimensional analysis and chemistry, because it has put me one step ahead in biology."
Jeff, recent graduate
"I didn't feel really challenged in school before, especially in fifth grade,.. I like that there are different ways of looking at our work other than just tests. And we're always looking at problems in different ways."
Rory, 7th grade
"This school isn't for everyone. If you don't want to learn, then don't come. Kids here have a drive to learn and are here fulfilling it. But it's also about having fun while you learn. You can create the drive to learn by having fun. The things we do are creative and original. There's not always one strategy for finding the answer."
Kathleen, veteran of the inaugural year
"I love this school. The teachers and other people here are passionate about what they're doing. We, the kids, are the focus of the school. I had a little cold one day, but didn't want to stay home and miss school. That never happened before."
Indy, 6th grade
"One of the best things here is that you can talk to the teachers when you have a problem. They don't allow any bullying or teasing here. It's kind of amazing. If something bad happens, it gets worked out at school meetings. The policies are clear and everyone knows them. If you do something wrong, the way it's handled really makes you think about it."
