Open Quote All three of my children attended Plato Academy. They loved going to school every single day. It is a joyous child centered environment where my children were respected as individuals. I have never seen a school with a more dedicated , talented , and caring staff. Small classrooms and challenging,developmentally appropriate curriculum made this school the number one choice for my children! I’m also impressed with the success of Plato Academy graduates, both intellectually but more importantly as citizens.
Their mission of “philotimo” which means kindness to others is evident in the school every day. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
