The current science teacher in 5th grade is really unpleasant. But besides her everyone’s great! The 5th grade teachers are strict but I manage. Dr. Cassidy is very strict but she’s not as bad.
We're so glad we go to Campus School!Parent 02/24/2015

In addition to learning the Tiger Fight Song (sung every Friday at a family-oriented assembly aptly named "Family Gathering"), the kids regularly sing "We're so glad we go to Campus School." It's a theme that you hear over and over and for the most part everyone is really glad to be part of the Campus School community. It's a small community where parents are highly involved and Skate Night, Movie Night, and other community-building events happen regularly. It has an excellent reputation via its 100+ year old history as a teacher training school. It's a public school but is guided more by the U of M's college of education rather than the central administrative office. We like the connection to the U of M; that connection contributes to a diversity of backgrounds and interests in the student body. The facility is old but that is more of a function of the unique funding structure of the school rather than neglect. I am generally pleased with the level of academic challenge (the CLUE program helps a lot in this regard) and there seems to be genuine care and concern for each child. I also like the focus on some basic character education traits, discussed and presented at each Family Gathering.

I think the first and second grade teachers in both loops are extraordinary. I don't think that money can buy a finer first/second grade experience in Memphis.

I think the first and second grade teachers in both loops are extraordinary. I don't think that money can buy a finer first/second grade experience in Memphis. For my kids, I have been less impressed with 3rd/4th. Those grades focus less on differentiated learning and the curriculum in less inspired. it seems driven by the TCAP test. I found Reading/Science instruction in particular to be mediocre. However, I think 5th grade is also strong. I think the 5th grade team of teachers are very strong. Lots of nice families/kids. I wish that they had more robust after school activities and athletics. The Chinese program is not worthwhile. I would rather Spanish or French be offered and graded like a regular class. The bathrooms are in really bad shape and need to be updated. Ms. Van Dyck (music) is an absolute treasure and is irreplaceable. My kids learned a genuine appreciation and love of music because of her.

Campus School has been a great fit for our family. We love the small size and family friendly community. Thanks to their amazing teachers and administrators, my children look forward to going to school and get excited about learning! Students are encouraged to do their personal best in a collaborative and diverse educational environment which celebrates their individuality. One last thing that stands out to me about Campus School is the affiliation with the University of Memphis and the tiger pride that comes along with the unique opportunities they experience while being a part of a university campus.
