Community Stories

Being from Bulgaria, both my parents saw a welcoming international community, an inspiring, unconventional way of learning, and a school that cares about what’s unique in each child.

I would also like to thank all of my teachers for helping me expand my boundaries for work, as I have been the most challenged I have ever been, which has helped me grow.

After spending 11 years here, I believe I have the right to say this is the place where I found my second home when the first was out of sorts.

From the moment I stepped into my new classroom, I was met with nothing but warm welcomes and smiles. 

I have learned to be patient with myself; I can try out things, see if they work for me, change my mind about how to do things, and try again.

Because of the focus on community, people get to know what is important to you, what you love, and where you can grow, and so they support and push you in all of these areas. 

The teachers here are incredibly encouraging and supportive of their students, and because of this, I have realized that I can do anything I want as long as I put myself out there and try.

Before coming to Oneness I was in an environment where we had to sit at desks and the teachers would come around criticizing our work. She would remark, “It’s too dark.” “It's too small and your spelling is wrong.” 

This is a school that embraces each child and nurtures them to become excellent people.

Oneness-Family School was our support network from the very first day of school.

To us, Oneness-Family School has been an extended family.

Our family was fortunate to be involved in Oneness-Family School since the early years.

Our son Toks has been forever touched by Oneness-Family School's holistic approach to life and education.

Working at Oneness-Family School gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on people's lives and make a difference every day.

Giving students the opportunity to grow, create, and achieve is a benefit to all of us.
