## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Excellent School with a Heart of Gold!: I feel so grateful to be part of the DBJA community. The school's focus on diversity and inclusion is truly inspiring, and the staff are always going above and beyond to support our children. My child loves the after-school clubs and the school's emphasis on reading has really helped them develop a love for books. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Truly Wonderful School Experience!: We recently moved to the area and were so pleased to find DBJA. The school's welcoming atmosphere and commitment to academic excellence have made a huge difference to our child. The teachers are friendly and approachable, and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. *(Mar 2021)*
- **4/5** — Some Great Aspects, but Room for Improvement: While we had a generally positive experience at DBJA, we felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about our child's progress. However, the school's values and emphasis on reading are truly excellent, and we appreciated the opportunities our child had to participate in extracurricular activities. *(Jun 2020)*
