Nice school, things I do like: lots of students, nice teachers, classical focus. Don''t like: no tech at all (well in 1R+ u get laptops), not many specials classes(choir, art, music), bad after school activities. They have some after school activities but they are like all classical: Mock Trial, Math Counts, Science Bowl, then a few sports: fencing, track, cross country, skiing, and volleyball. Oh and table tennis lol. I like this school a lot tho! I''d recommend it.

New to this school. I really like the emphasis on academics and the curriculum, so I would rate that 5 stars. However, the interactions with the staff so far have not been very good. They come off as impatient, bothered and frustrated. I don't know if they are overwhelmed or stressed out with this year's challenges, but I would appreciate the same respect that they are required to show one another. I am reserving final judgement until the middle of the year. Hopefully, the staff will be more respectful in their attitudes and tone, and a little nicer to the parents and families of the scholars. 5 stars for now. We'll see what happens going forward.

If you are thinking about education only, then this is great school for you. if you want your kids to explore different things then this is the not the school for you. also they very poor at taking care of special need students. they dont have enough teacher hired. in one point i feel like they dont know what to do with special need kids. some special needs are very talented academically so when they see this kids are doing well in study then they tend to forget he / she need to focus other things. i would not recommend this school to a parents who has special need kids.

In Kindergarten the students have three recesses each day, and this continues through the elementary and middle school. There is a cafeteria that doubles as gym for taekwondo and building a gym is part of the school's plan. The school also hired an Athletic Director who has actively expanded the athletic opportunities for the upper grades. That being said, the school's focus is on academics. They have significantly higher MCA scores than the Osseo school district. A huge amount of energy is spent in K-3 on making sure that the young kids can read proficiently. The school has apparently recognized that if the kid's are struggling with reading early on, it becomes very difficult for them to handle the curriculum later, which is focused on the Great Books of Western Civilization. After 3rd grade there is no more formal phonics instruction (so no readers), by 4th grade they are instead they are reading, writing and discussing books. All 4th grade students read, Pinocchio, Pollyanna, Peter Pan, The Secret Garden, Tales of Sherlock Holmes, Treasure Island, The Little Prince, and Wind in the Willows; not abridged/redacted versions for kids -- the real texts. The pace is fast and the expectations are high. Math is Saxon Math. There is also daily instruction in grammar, history, science, spanish, and latin. Parnassus is almost too good to be true for families who are looking for a rigorous program and are willing to support their kids.

I'm concerned because they don't get recess and don't have a gym. I feel that children from five years and up need a place to wear off some energy. The gym is only used as a cafeteria.
