We recently moved to Wilmington and have two kids attending Holly Tree. We are blown away by how wonderful this school is and the quality of education are kids are receiving. The teaching staff is outstanding - kind, communicative, and attentive to each child's individual needs. You could not run a school this well without amazing leadership. We are so grateful every day that we are aligned to Holly Tree.

Everyone here has been amazing! I have 2 children to come through Holly Tree and I truly couldnt ask for better teachers, admin, and office staff. They have truly made my family feel at home and have helped my children to succeed. Thank you thank you!

Holly Tree is by far the very best elementary school we've been to. We previously were at 2 other public elem. schools in the same area, but they did not measure up to the standards at Holly Tree. We can't say enough great things about this true neighborhood school with ALL the amenities! AIG, book clubs, programs, large libarary, jogging track and huge playground, experienced teachers and principal.......
