## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — A Home Away from Home: My children have been going to De Vier Tuinen for the past three years and it's been an amazing experience. The school's focus on respect for each other, self-directed learning, and cooperation is truly unique and has helped my kids grow into confident, curious, and kind individuals. The Sprookjesbos event is a highlight every year, showcasing the kids' talents and creativity. *(Jun 2022)*

The school's emphasis on project-based learning, vrije teksten, and outdoor activities has helped my child develop a love for learning that extends far beyond the classroom. *(Sep 2021)*
- **4/5** — A Mixed Bag: We had a great experience with De Vier Tuinen while our child was there, but we did find the school's lack of structure and sometimes inconsistent teaching to be a challenge. On the other hand, the school's values and approach to education are truly unique and have helped our child develop in many ways. We're grateful for the time we spent there. *(Mar 2020)*
