Our two children that have attended Pearl Creek have absolutely loved it. The teachers are heavily involved. The classes aren't oversized. There are many extracurricular activities for them to participate in. It even has its own outdoor ice skating rink and cross country ski trail system. I can't think of a better place for my girls to go to school and am thankful for the excellent school administration and staff.

I have one child who is very shy and another who is special needs. My shy one has been treated like family at Pearl Creek and is blossoming there. Her teacher this year was a BP teacher award winner, one of the best in the state! He has been instrumental in getting her to raise her hand and speak up more. I am also SO thankful for the faculty and staff at Pearl Creek who are dedicated to helping my special needs child learn the best way possible for him. They quickly take the initiative with any concerns I have for his safety and learning. They worked side by side with me as we came up with an effective strategy for my son to learn to the best of his abilities. I am in total awe of how much the staff here puts in to helping each and every student! On top of the wonderful teachers, the parents are very active and involved with school festivals, plays, the ice rink and garden. We love Pearl Creek!
