I had reservations about sending my son to Dr. Brown, and debated sending him to private school. I'm so glad that I decided to send him there, he has done very well and loves the kids and teachers there. My son is is the 4th grade, and has gone to Dr. Brown since Kindergarten. The principal, teachers and all staff have been wonderful every year- and the students are very respectful. I do wish that more parents took an interest in the school and the things they are doing. I am so glad my son has been able to attend this school, just sad that he's going to have to move on to Stoddart after next year. Not looking forward to that!

We transferred in to Dr Brown in October and I was freaked at first reading about no walls but I am so blessed and grateful we did come here. My son has had the most amazing 3rd grade experience!! The 3rd Grade teachers are amazing. My daughter also had a great kindergarten experience here.The support for children here is AWESOME. They work together to help the children become successful! The communication between teachers and parents is just as great. I knew daily how both of my children did in school.
