Testimonials

Student

“I love Koa because all of my teachers are really nice and they help me learn new things. They help me get higher grades.”

Parent

“One of the main important goals for myself in education, especially when it comes to my children, is to be as involved as we can be. This is something that they do day in and day out, but our babies come here for eight plus hours, and that's important to me to know, number one, who I'm with, and then not only that, but who our children are being raised alongside and helping them in any way. It's a very big community that we have here that we all love to kind of be a part of. I love Koa because we get to work side by side, along with students who are willing to go above and beyond and push the creative limits as well as adults who are willing to go above and beyond.” “It (Discovery Labs) has gotten kids more on computers and instead of gearing their thought process towards YouTube, it’s given them a platform to create something and then be able to physically see it come to life.”

Student

“I love the Discovery Lab, it’s super fun because I get to build robots and do some special stuff on the computers, and it’s really entertaining and fun. My teachers always push me to go beyond my expectations, and that helps me. I also love Koa because the teachers are super nice, and they help me learn a lot. I look forward to doing the after-school Dance club, and it’s fun because dance helps me get more energy to focus when I’m in a classroom.”

Parent

“Koa is very family-oriented; Koa supports the kids who need help. Koa has a lot of extracurricular activities for the kids. Speaking from personal experience, my fourth grader is in dance, my little one runs cross-country and track. They love coming to school because they have something to look forward to. I love Koa because my kids love Koa.”
