"Fantastic school for our daughter"

We were initially hesitant to send our daughter to The Holden School, but after meeting the team and seeing the facilities, we knew it was the right decision. The Horticulture Facilities and Wild Garden areas have been a game-changer for her - she's made so many friends and loves spending time in nature. We're so grateful for the individualized support she's received.

"Some ups and downs"

We've had a mixed experience with The Holden School so far. Our daughter loves her teachers and the facilities are great, but we've had some issues with communication from the school. That being said, we do feel like they're working hard to meet our daughter's needs and we appreciate their focus on developing key life skills.

"A supportive community"

We sent our son to The Holden School for two years, and while it wasn't always easy, we're so grateful for the support he received. The school's focus on individuality and unique value really resonated with us, and we loved seeing our son thrive in their clinical therapy program. We'll always be grateful for the experience.
