"My child's first two days have been so great on our end! I thought he might return home on Monday, maybe mentioning his old school, but he only came back raving about his day at Magellan! It went the same way yesterday. Ms. Mansi and the class couldn’t have been more welcoming, and he mentioned some friends’ names already so he is very happy and had a smile on his face at drop off again this morning. Ms. Mansi has given me positive feedback as well which has been encouraging."
Primary School Parent
"The staff at Magellan strives to understand each child as an individual with different emotional, physical and intellectual needs and that is #1 in our book. As far as academics go, we love that our son will be able to connect what he is learning in each of his subjects instead of having segregated classes that have nothing to do with each other. It just makes sense to do it that way! Bravo."
