I learned more in 1 evening watching my child interact & perform with his peers than I did in all 3 years he was at Garfield.” – Martha Kongsgaard From what I have been able to discern, it is much more interesting, engaging, creative, and meaningful than more traditional approaches.” – Norm Arkans “Bianca is not ‘afraid’ of math like she used to be – She’s becoming more engaged & interested in learning” – Liza Greene
