Leaves of Learning

Do not recommend this private school to anyone. Poor quality, rude owner, and problem kids are just part of what you’ll experience. Nasty, hot, smelly building. Believe all you have heard about this small, private school — it is of low quality, expensive, and ran by people who should not be working with people, especially children.

My kids attended Leaves for years and years. I LOVE this program! The teachers are respectful, the kids learn at their own pace, and no one is bullied. Highly highly recommend. It’s the one place I know of where everyone is accepted just as they are. The negative reviews here do NOT speak for 98% of the hundreds of Leaves families I personally know.

My son has been at Leaves of Learning for 10 years now (starting at the Grailville Barn in Loveland!) and all I can say is that this enrichment program has helped to shape the person he is today (now a HS Junior!). The teachers, administration and students have been an incredible part of his life. He has had the opportunity to take an amazing variety of classes ranging from Fencing to Performance Shakespeare to Physics to Gaming Through History! If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming, compassionate and passionate group of people to work with your children, consider Leaves. We are so grateful for this resource!

My three kids all go or have gone to Leaves since we moved to Cincinnati eight years ago, and they love it. My eldest (now in college) was very well prepared for college there and had numerous opportunities for leadership, which was just what she needed. Her teachers, and Diana, the director, gave her lots of opportunities to learn outside the classroom too. My son had a math teacher this past year that just wouldn’t give up on him. She worked with him at lunch and before school until he finally understood, and he’s learning algebra independently now and doing well. The kids are supported at Leaves, and expected to be their nicest, smartest and most interesting selves, and they rise to that expectation!

I have heard mostly horrible things about this private school. We tried it anyway. Big mistake! The lady who runs is rude, incompetent, and unprofessional. Teachers and classes are not worth the money. Many kids are bullied, including my own. I would not recommend to anyone. It’s very expensive and they expect parents to do a great deal of volunteer work. Beware!
