Dear Mr. Gore,
The last four years have been the best years in our son’s education, if not his life. It is difficult to describe how grateful Marcia and I are for all that you and your school have done for Thomas. When we first heard the recommendations about your school from other parents, we found them hard to believe. I have spent considerable time in the educational field myself (three university degrees and 12 years as a teacher), and had never heard of the kind of successes other parents described their children having at your school. Now Marcia and I are among those parents praising Scholars’ Hall.
In the past four years Thomas has gone from fear and anxiety to hope and ambition for his future. He was crestfallen and lost when we brought him to your school and now he has a vision and self confidence. It is not just his maturing that has done this but the whole approach that you and your teaching staff provide. Your focus on rekindling a child’s desire to learn, celebrating every success and building the skills needed for life long learning have given our child the chance to dream again. To see that he can achieve what he wants to do, despite his disabilities. Before Scholars’ Hall, Thomas knew only that he was not as “smart” as others. Now that you have given him the skills he needs, he knows he is every bit as capable and is confident he can achieve.
Please accept Marcia’s and my most heart felt thank you and deepest gratitude. Thank you for all you have done for our son. Our only regret is that we did not place Thomas in your care sooner.
