My child went to DWA for 5 years. In the last two years the environment at the school has gone extremely downhill. We decided then to move our child. We had been having a lot of issues with the administration team not following through on action items regarding our child's safety at the school, their attitude and treatment of other parents and friends of ours was appalling. There came a point when we could no longer allow our child to be educated by people who treated their families/customers in this manner. Once we let the school know we would not be returning things got worse, not only for us but others as well. None of my child's friends were coming back, why would we stay? The past year was a very stressful and awful year and so many times we spoke about how we couldn't believe we actually gave these people a lot of money to treat us this way. Before committing to this school, know what you are getting into. Take these reviews seriously even though admin tries to dispute them. During open houses they are lying to people saying the school isn't moving when it's for sale, they're telling people the mass exodus of students from the school is a result of the economy which is a lie. Ask them the enrollment number last year and what it is this year. Try getting into any other private school - you can't - they are all full. Why is DWA the only school accepting students right now? Why are their classes sizes so small when other private schools are running 3 and 4 classrooms of the same grades. Why are a lot of older kids struggling with diploma exams when there's only 5 kids in the class? This school has been a magical place for my son, for the first 3 years. The last two were pure hell not only for us but for him. He was questioned on more than one occasion regarding where he was going to school this upcoming year - he had to lie to the head of school and say he didn't know because there was no reason for them to be asking and he knew that. They grilled him when he missed school for the various assessments he was writing at other private schools, asking him where he had been and what he had been doing. That is completely inappropriate behavior by his teachers and admin staff who were abusing their power. We, as well as many other families are going to other private schools across the city - hoping other businesses do not treat their paying customers in this manner. Do your research - try to find someone who knows of the school or been to the school and ask for their experience. We committed to being at the school for 12 years - it was not an easy decision to move for him or for us - and their reaction to the news was frightening. No one pulls their children out of a school without a lot of thought going into it - my son's friendships are deep, mine are deep as well but we were left with no other option to pull out due to the treatment he and we as a family received. How could we entrust them to contribute to him growing into the person we want him to be when the admin team at this school is so far in the opposite direction?
