My son LOVES Tillicum, his teacher, and most especially Addy. They have been above and beyond when it comes to not only his academic growth, but our home situation as well. The staff here has gone above and beyond for my son and myself, and out of his *few* years in school, this team is by far our favorite.

My child has been attending this school for two years and we have loved every minute. The teachers are incredible and the rest of the staff are amazingly supportive. It truly feels like we are a part of the Tillicum family. My daughter loves the school and wakes up happy to go every morning. The lunch and breakfast program is phenomenal and all the community events they have been doing such as movie nights and STEM night have been a fun way to get out of the house and spend time together without spending money. I feel like any concerns my family may have are addressed immediately. Everyone I know constantly complains about their childrens' schools but I love ours. I'll do everything I can to ensure my daughter can continue attending school at Tillicum.
