Zaharis Elementary School

The principal and staff are amazing. They make learning magical at this school.

We had a solid experience in the classrooms, the teachers are committed and truly love their students. Outside of the classroom, which is over an hour a day, good luck, your kids are going to need it. The bully behavior is encouraged and reinforced-parents are kept out of the loop if your child is bullied, and your child will be punished without your knowledge if they are involved. There isn’t consistent homework policy throughout the school, so if you have multiple children here you may or may not have homework. We found our kids didn’t have a lot of time to eat, and were always hungry.

I have two kids at Zaharis (and another one going in a few years) and I've had nothing but amazing experiences. The teachers are all fantastic, the administration is lovely, the campus is awesome. They use an inquiry based approach to learning which the kids really respond to and I'm always so impressed with the things they are learning.

Every child is pushed according to their abilities and needs. The teachers go above and beyond for each student. I have seen many approaches to learning and zaharis is in a category all its own. They take inquiry to a whole new level with celebrations and their project-based learning truly stretches across the curriculum. I could not imagine my child learning any place else! If you have not visited the school I recommend touring it now.
