What do parents and students say about our schools? by Carl Peterson
J is doing very well
at C.U. thus far.
Our hopes are high!"
"...This school is an opportunity
for those students who
have not been doing so well
in the past for different reasons.
On the other hand the students
can move faster and graduate
early compared
to the regular high schools."
"...I really like the school,
for doing memory patterns.
For those of you who
don't know what
memory patterns are:
We take notes as the teacher
lectures or reads
from a book.
I believe that note-taking
is the most important thing
in college."
"I was impressed
with the uniqueness of the school
and with the gains
that the students were making."
"I will never be able
to thank you enough
for all the support you have been
with both my boys.
I know how rewarding school was.
It was great incentive
and did much for their self-esteem."
"I can't thank you enough
for all that you have done for me.
You're in my book
of memories forever."

"For the first time,
he is anxious to go to school
and shows real enthusiasm.
He feels a responsibility
to get his homework done,
and to concentrate in class.
He feels the daily report card
has a lot to do
with his newfound efforts."
"She's actually looking forward
to school starting....
The real reason
for writing this letter
is to thank you for all
you have done for us.
I know V wouldn't have come
as far as she has
without your help and support....
Thank you just isn't enough,
but it's the best
the English language
has come up with so far.
You will always have
a special place in our hearts
and I know we will never
be able to repay you.
Thanks again!"
"I can see the changes
(for the better) already."
"Thank you for listening
so often and so well.
I am pleased
with my son's college choices.
I thought you might like
to see his report card."
"We are really pleased
with our son's successes.
He is also very proud of himself."
"Just a letter to thank you
for all of the help you have
given me during
all the rough times in my life....
You taught me so much,
like to never give up,
and to always believe in myself.
You showed me there was
so much in my life
if I wanted it.
You guided me down
the rough roads in life
and reminded me
that I was a good person."
"He thoroughly enjoyed
the school and did very well."

"...you would be amazed
at the direction J is taking.
He's finally getting motivated....
J seems much more confident
about his academic abilities.
I want to thank you
for all of your help.
I don't think we would
have gotten through last year
without your support."
"We just want you to know
how we appreciate you
and your relationship/friendship with B.
Finally he's enjoying a stressless,
positive school year -
which impacts us,
very positively and happily,
as well.
We marvel at your interests,
unbelievable energy level
and enthusiasm -
and your obvious caring
for the kids who
for various reasons,
`don't quite fit'..."
"Through daily grading
and a personal incentive system,
our schools proved
a benefit to our families."
"Inattentive,
hyperactive and failing students
begin to gain a sense
of accomplishment and success
in closely supervised small classes.
Services of this nature
were not available
in the public school system."
"Your scholarship program
for 5 year olds is available
to everyone including
underprivileged children.
It is well known in the community
and has helped a lot of children
that would otherwise
not have been able
to get a good education."
"I feel that what you are providing
to the Colorado citizens
is a worthwhile endeavor,
and probably saving the citizens
some tax money,
otherwise spent on counseling
and educating a segment
of our society."
"Best wishes
in your educational ministry.
You are touching so many families
in very positive ways."

"The long term problem-solving service
that you have provided
for the community is well known
and accepted and has created
a positive environment."
"I believe your schools
to be one of the best private institutions
in the city of Denver."
"An effective learning environment
and an excellent tool for promoting
self-esteem through achievement
and motivation for self-improvement."
"I would like to take this opportunity
to commend both you
and your staff for the excellent
educational program
that you have put together.
The system that you use
at your school not only addresses
the educational needs
of the student,
but also teaches
the student self-esteem,
pride and the ability to regain
the confidence that is necessary
to be a productive member of society."
"Your school has been
a special and positive refuge
of learning for B,
and I know he'll take the lessons
he's learned there and apply them
to further success
at college and in life.
Thank you for your part in that."
"Six months ago my daughter
was failing in all but one subject,
ditching school on a regular basis,
and had all but become
a non-productive
member of society.
Today,
my new daughter is an "A"
and "B" student,
did not miss any school
since her enrollment at your school
and has again become
part of a family
that loves her very much."
"F probably wouldn't have made it
through this year,
and be graduating if you
had not been so determined..."
