Pear Tree is the best option in the city for busy parents. Their curriculum is well-rounded in arts and athletics which really takes the pressure off from finding extracurricular activities. The days are extended compared to public schools, and there is a before and/or after-school care option. This was a huge relief to me because my schedule requires flexibility. I love not having to pack lunches or provide snacks. The in-school chef saves me the time and mental energy that comes with meal prep and I can count on nutritious snacks and lunches. Most importantly, the faculty, staff and students are wonderful people, and I know my daughter is well-cared for.

Pear Tree is that kind of school that my 4th grade son simply loves. He is almost sad when they have a day off or the holiday is coming! They use Project Based Learning, which seems to be much more engaging for the kids and with longer lasting results. PE sessions take place every day, and they have a variety of activities, from plain running, rope skipping and hurdles jumping, to yoga, dance, tennis and ice skating. The lunch and snacks are provided by school, and they really are a healthy choice, making our life easier at home when it's about eating more vegetables! Last but not least, using technology as a support for learning is a part of their daily routine, preparing the kids for the future and helping them to use it for their progress, not only as entertainment. The school environment is very bright, joyful, welcoming, and they also have extremely attractive field trips. Part of the kids in this school come from different countries, creating a mix of international cultures, which I think will help the kids grow up being more tolerant and prepared for a global society. I would recommend Pear Tree to any parent who would like to expose his child to different ways of learning, less memory based.
Our daughter attended Pear Tree Elementary since kindergarten. Their project-based learning really showed a different approach compared to traditional education. The teachers, the staff, and the kids work collectively and really make up a warm and welcoming environment. Pear Tree does not just focus on academic results, but rather shaping our kid to be growing in all aspects of life, into becoming a better part of the community. In addition, their hot lunch program provides healthy and various choices everyday, shout out to chef Borja! We are more than satisfied of what our daughter has been able to achieve and learn here. Our second daughter will be graduating pre-school next year, and needless to say, Pear Tree is our one and only choice for her as well!
I was a student at pear tree, and this school was the best school I ever went in my life! The cook’s food is really healthy AND good!
What an inspiring place Pear Tree is! Our daughter started at Pear Tree Elementary last fall after loosing motivation at her previous school. After just a short while, after school starting, she started to love school again and she doesn't even want to leave at pick-up time. My daughter enjoys being in a class with other grades, where it is most important to excel on your own level. All students are closely followed up by their enthusiastic teacher. The teacher continuously keeps the students eager to learn by using different tools ; visual, arts and crafts, field trips and new technology, as well as using interesting themes as background. And how cool isn't it to have snake or salmon eggs hatching in the classroom? We also love that the school focuses on nutritious food and physical education every day (during last half year they have had martial arts, skating, yoga, climbing, dance class and a lot of different activities outside with Mr M)! All the above makes an excellent foundation for our child and I strongly recommend the school.
