Testimonials
“We love the caring, encouraging environment our kids are in. We also love the life skills they are gaining at Candeo. For us, it’s so important that our children learn responsibility and how to take ownership for their school work, as well as develop good study skills that will benefit them for life. These skills are more important to us than how far ahead of their peers they are academically when they finish at Candeo. Luckily, Candeo provides it ALL! We are so grateful to have our children at such an amazing school!!” – Candeo Parent
“Candeo has always been a place where my child has thrived and been enriched. The amount of learning that my child has acquired since being at Candeo has been tremendous. We have always felt that the teachers are genuinely invested in my child’s growth and development.” – Candeo Parent
“You have an amazing school with wonderful teachers. My son is lucky to go there and it has been fun to see him grow and develop. Thanks for all you do to make the school run smoothly. The school is a direct reflection of you and your passion for education and kids. You rock!” – Candeo Middle School Parent
“I really want to tell you all individually how much [my daughter] is enjoying school this year! I want to thank each of you for the time you put into your meaningful lessons. My daughter comes home excited to share what she is learning. I was shocked when she told me she “LOVED science!” because last year… she did not (best way to put it.) My daughter is always showing us what she is learning and the excitement in how she shares it with us is a reflection of how she is being taught. Thank you all for bringing that positive energy to my daughter each day! I know she is in a place that she is loved, cared for, and valued because of how she comes home. And your little paragraphs that each of you wrote on her report card meant so much to her! Thank you.” – Candeo Middle School Parent
“I couldn’t be more excited about being part of such an incredible community of proactive, passionate and dedicated parents and educators. My son comes home every day talking about all the things he’s learned, which then leads to rich conversations that engage our whole family and challenge us to dig deeper into each subject as we explore the endless world of learning together. Candeo provides my bright and inquisitive son with the stimulating environment that he needs to really thrive, and that is a gift that we will never take for granted.” – Candeo Kindergarten Parent
“My son is always talking about things he is learning. Kindergarten teachers set the tone for what a child’s perception of school will be like “forever” in their mind. I am thankful for the impression you have already made about learning.” – Candeo Kindergarten Parent
“This is sooo amazing! Makes my heart sing! All of you are truly amazing!!! Proof is in the pudding!! Even more important to me than test scores is that my kids are in a safe, caring environment where they get to be accountable for their actions and molded into independent learners! Thank you, thank you to ALL of you!!” – Candeo Parent
“Thanks for the nurturing, safe, and well-structured environment.”- Candeo Parent
“I love that the children are getting a well-rounded education! The things they are able to teach the kids is amazing. My son was learning about things in 2nd grade that I didn’t even know about until high school. There is something magical about Candeo that allows children to grow and flourish.” – Candeo Parent
“We’ve had an extremely positive experience at Candeo. Everyone from the office staff to the administrators and teachers has had a sincere interest in the success of our child. We, as parents, have been treated with respect and kindness while also being told the truth. We are very impressed with Candeo and our experience there.”- Candeo Parent
“Walking a Candeo hallway is always a joy. You hear amazing content being exchanged in a pleasant yet controlled atmosphere in the classrooms.” – Candeo Parent
“I have been to (many) schools. No school comes close to Candeo. I have seen you at work from what appeared to be the beginning. I am forever indebted to the staff’s service to my children. However, my measure is only fractionally measured with standardized test results. I am very critical of education, for reasons not so easily quantifiable. I have been realizing for many years that Candeo is the standard I have sought in education. Thank you for all of your hard work.”- Candeo Parent
“HUGE kudos to Candeo and our top-notch teachers and administration on preparing our children… not just with the “end result” of simply meeting and exceeding standards, but for truly bringing out the best and greatest in our children, allowing them to reach (and exceed) their potential and beyond. As a parent, THIS “exceeds” my expectations so much more!” – Candeo Parent
“My daughter has a deep passion for her school and continually strives to improve herself each day. It fills me with immense joy to witness her enthusiasm for learning, as the school has brought her so much happiness. I am amazed by the knowledge she has gained over the past four years, and I wouldn’t consider placing her anywhere else. Despite the challenging curriculum, she remains eager to learn, demonstrating a strong understanding of the importance of education, even at such a young age. I am truly grateful to the school for making learning enjoyable and stimulating for all its students. I eagerly anticipate her completion of the school, and I only wish they offered a high school program as well.” – Candeo Parent
“We love Candeo! Having taught in the public school system, I knew I wanted my own children to experience something different. This beautiful public charter school was the perfect answer! The classical approach challenges my daughter in her learning and allows her natural creativity to blossom. I’m so thankful we found this school.” – Candeo Parent
“Our daughter has been attending this school since Kindergarten and is now in 2nd. We have loved seeing her academic skills flourish! The moment she learned to read in Kindergarten, she went crazy with books. She even recites all the new information she learns in her classes. She is always excited to go back to school, loves her friends, loves her teachers, and loves all the staff.
We chose this school for the curriculum because it allows children to learn the foundations they need to be successful. They use minimal technology which means homework is on sheets and books, as they should be for young minds. Class sizes are small which means my child gets more focus time and the teacher has the ability to focus on the needs of each student. They have lots of after-school activities, students get rewarded for their hard work and ability to respect others, and even get cultural events in their class.
The school events they do have are great, and I like that parental volunteering is not frequent because our household is busy enough with our own after-school activities. When I do volunteer, I get to see the school culture and how the kids interact. The staff and teachers have been so friendly to us that we have enjoyed it each year. So whether you are looking for academic excellence or a focused environment for your child, Candeo North Scottsdale is a wonderful choice!” – Candeo Parent
