Ocean Knoll is a stand out school. I have a child who has special needs and they have by far the best staff of teachers and principal that are not only the best in their field but the most caring. Jennifer Bond the school Principal welcomed my child and myself and made sure that all his needs were met so he can be best he can be. It is obvious that she and her staff are in this line of work because they love the children and want them to be the best they can be. My child looks forward to going to school now because of the caring atmosphere. At his old school he was tormented by bullies and so misunderstood by his teachers. Jennifer Bond turned that around for him. My son has his self esteem back and is thriving in school.Thank you Jennifer Bond. You score 6 stars in my book!
Ocean Knoll has been a wonderful environment for my 2 kids where they have learned as much about reading and writing as they have about what it means to be a collaborative global citizen. Principal Jennifer Bond has done a great job of putting in plans and practices that make attainment of the IB mandate of developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect possible.
Ocean Knoll is a wonderful school. Thanks to the dedicated teachers, relevant and rigorous curriculum, and additional educational opportunities my daughter has grown into a confident, globally-minded young woman who wants to make a difference in her community. I feel very fortunate to send my child to Ocean Knoll for her elementary school career!
There are many types of enrichment programs (art, music, gardening, nutrition, etc.) but as the year has played itself out, I realize that there is perhaps too much time given to these satellite programs and not enough devoted to core learning. We're new to the district so initially I thought it was all super but now I'm seeing another side to things. I mean, positive attitude and world awareness is all good but not when essential literary skills, math, and science could use the extra time. I think the teachers don't even get a choice in whether they have to give up their class time to all this! And my kids, being walked here, there, everywhere on campus - their day is so chopped up it's a wonder they are able at all to settle down and concentrate or really focus for more than a short period each day.
