"Life Changing Experience for Our Son"
We've been with Chatten Free School for 3 years now and it's been a game-changer for our son. The individualised approach and ABA therapy have helped him develop skills he never thought possible. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and caring.

"A School That Truly Understands Our Child"
My child has been at Chatten Free School for 2 years and we've seen significant progress. The school's emphasis on individualised learning and ABA therapy has helped him develop social skills and confidence. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, and the parent portal is a great way to stay informed.

"Mixed Emotions About Our Experience"
We've been with Chatten Free School for 1 year now and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. While the teachers are lovely and the facilities are great, we've struggled with some of the administrative aspects of the school. We're hoping that things will improve as we continue to work with them.
