Big Minds Unschool Online Reviews
Rating 3.5 out of 5 2 reviews
We paid $1,400 for the two week trial. On the second day, a classmate couldn’t stop talking about how there were now “stupid people” at Big Minds. The teacher worked very hard to redirect the student but he was locked into convincing the class how stupid our 8yr old son with autism is. I received a follow-up email apology saying this was rare and they also explained why they never stopped the boy’s bullying. They said they never publicly reprimand students for anything. While the other student continued to verbally attack my son after every comment he made, no one stopped him as is there policy. While this surely helped that student save face, my son wasn’t similarly protected. They asked us to reconsider their school. We said no. We were interested in their school because it seemed like a safe space for 2e kids. For my son, it was not. They didn’t offer to refund any of the money we paid for the trial (and we didn’t ask for one; we just wanted it to be over )
My child has found his tribe! This school has been a wonderful haven for my son, who often felt out of place in other schools. Big Minds prioritizes development of self, social emotional wellness, and honoring the interests of each student.
