  "Here, the teachers care. I love coming to school!"

"There’s respect here."

"My old principal said I came to school more here in the first 12 days than I did all last semester at my old school."

"The teachers talk to you the way you understand it. We help each other here – it’s a family."

"They don’t judge me from my past."

"Another alternative school I went to had less structure. This is structured, but it’s flexible structure."

"I try to show sincere respect. With respect comes room for me to instruct."

"I learned that as a teacher, I had to adjust. I learned to relax and follow my heart."

"I do science experiments every day because that’s the only time I remember learning anything in science class when I was in school."

"We believe in the value of different learning styles. I personally bring a lot of music into my teaching. It seems to be an avenue for the kids to really help understand times and places and events."

"I think that small group instruction pays off in a very simple way. It allows us, as teachers, to see every kid's face up-close every single day."
