Celandine Life-Preparatory Academy

My child has been with the school for over 10 years, same staff and all. That speaks volumes that they don’t go through teachers like most special needs schools. The director has a son with autism so you know she just gets it all around. The compassion from her is beyond anything you would find at a public or another private school. That is what has kept us at Celandine for all these years. You don’t need to worry about leaving your child with someone who goes out of their way to keep the property clean and safe. I know as a parent one of the biggest questions that I have always had is will you even do school work with my kid or babysit. This school does more then any other school I have ever seen! And it shows! I love how my son laughs with the teachers and jokes around. He looks forward to going to school. We are so grateful for Celandine and the staff!

Celandine was recommended to me when my son was going into 6th grader, I couldn’t bear the thought of my kid at a public middle school. The best decision I ever made, my son is now 22 and in his last year; we have come a long way and he has flourished more than I could ever had imagined and that’s because of the teachers and the staff at this school. I cannot say enough about the school, we just love everyone there.

Changing my son from public school was the best decision I have made, the staff are caring and professional. My son has improved so much and it’s thanks to them.

Our son has been a part of CLPA for four years. We feel so blessed to have found this school. Kristen Peterson is very passionet about the mission of her school. I cannot say enogh about her and the entire staff. They are some of the most caring people!! The eviroment is definately one of a kind. Our son has benefited so much from this school. And us as parents a peace of mind knowing he is safe, happy and accomplishing so many goals.

I started looking into private schooling for my daughter with autism when she was going into the sixth grade and found Celandine. My daughter is now 18 and still attends. I cannot say enough about the staff at this school. My daughter is doing things I never thought she would be capable of. I can’t recommend this school enough.
