Rapid Learner Parent Testimonials :
"Both
of our daughters attended the Deterding RL program for 2nd grade
through 6th grade. The decision to move them from our neighborhood
school and place them at Deterding was one of the best decisions
that we made for their education. They both enjoyed the additional
classroom challenges, the math with Rick West, the lively classroom
discussions, the projects, the field trips, and of course their
friends."
"The Deterding Rapid Learner program is outstanding!
The teachers and enriching curriculum are complemented with band
instruction, art classes, and intramurals to provide the students
with an unmatched education."
"The program is very analytical and allows the children to
become critical thinkers. Learning & playing with like-minded kids
has encouraged our son to reach further and set higher goals for
himself."
"The kids have a chance to explore and learn in an academic
environment that allows for creativity while challenging each child
and developing their academic talents."
"Being
in a classroom with like-minded students and teachers who
consistently went the extra distance to connect with the students
helped my children thrive during their elementary years."
"Besides the academic program, I believe it's a great opportunity
for these kids to be together and learn from each other."
"I loved the fact that projects were always expected to be done
by the child and not the parents and therefore, projects were often
completed in class."
"The benefits of moving my children to RL went beyond the
academics, although it was wonderful that they were no longer bored.
As a parent, I appreciated the teachers' training in the social and
emotional needs of gifted children! The integrated curriculum
and field trips were enormously enriching and fun. Friendships
came so easily in this environment. In RL the kids are in a
setting in which their interests and style of play are the norm."
