Martha Loya, Frontier Parent
Five years ago, when we were looking for a great school for our four children, we chose Frontier Schools. We met the principal at the elementary building after we missed the open house. Even though he was about to leave, he took the time to show us around and tell us about Frontier School of Innovation.
He was super nice and we could tell how much he cared about his students, so we applied and have been enrolled ever since. Currently, we have our children attending 8th, 7th, 3rd and 1st grade. The staff is always making sure the students are working to their full potential.
They are always willing to talk about any questions or concerns the parents may have. If they don’t speak your language, they make sure they have someone who does and they do listen to everything.
As parents, we have the opportunity to be involved in several activities like field trips, parent teacher organization (PTO), classroom parties, quarterly family night and more! Best of all, the school takes the time to thank you for your time.
