Mackintosh Academy

This International Baccalaureate school for gifted & talented children (pre-​K through 8) is a true gem. I have been a parent there for seven years, and could not be more pleased with the education my children have received. Mackintosh focuses on social/​emotional growth as well as academic knowledge, resulting in kids who are confident, reflective learners. Unlike in the public schools, emphasis on testing is minimal and the students get to put their knowledge into action in a holistic way. Instruction is tailored to your child’s level, and Mackintosh is sensitive to twice-​exceptional students who have learning disabilities as well. You will never meet a more caring group of teachers, staff and administrators. They truly care for the children and work very hard to meet everyone’s needs.
