Quotes from Parent Advocates

“Our family has been Learning, Succeeding, and Leading at Edwards for 5 years. We are tremendously grateful to be part of a school community in which the values we practice at home are also lived out at school. We see our children making proactive choices for themselves and growing their relationships in healthy ways by considering others’ needs, and know that this is partly due to the leadership environment at Edwards. We know that the foundation our kids have built here will serve them well as they continue to lead in middle school and beyond!” ~ Michelle I.

“We have been a part of the École Edwards community for 5 years now. What a fantastic environment for our children to learn in. We love how welcoming and friendly the learners, staff, educators and administration are at Edwards. The Leader in Me has given them the skills to be the leaders of tomorrow. They don't just learn about the seven habits at school, they put them into action in everything they do at Edwards.” ~ Kristal F.
