As summer school begins for Amanda Cohen, Lori Friedlander Cohen and I were reflecting on the past four years at OPTIONS.

We have watched our daughter grow into an independent woman which has been supported greatly under the wonderful leadership of Char Reed, her incredible staff and the curriculum at OPTIONS. The faculty, staff and administrators are passionate about their calling and our child has reaped those rewards. She has been challenged and supported by each of her amazing teachers.

Our daughter has grown so much academically and socially. She has cultivated strong relationships both at OPTIONS and her work. Her friends include students from a variety of cultural backgrounds. The teachers are caring and committed to her success. The mix of the student body has prepared her to be more knowledgeable about the world.

Thanks to OPTIONS, she has been given the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed in an amazing nurturing environment. The extracurricular activities have benefited her so much as well.

The formative experience in this wonderful school is unique in the country and is an exceptional value. I honestly don t know if you can find a place where the teachers and staff love their students more than they do at OPTIONS. Today we can truly say our daughter is fully ready to live and work on her own.
