Testimonials

"John was in 3rd grade when we started Russell Bede. We had told him all about his new school and when we pulled in front of the “little house” on his 1st day, he looked at the school and said, “Well, I guess this is my big chance!”

I’ll never forget that day or everything Russell Bede did for John. Gina taught him to read and Dotty showed him math was not impossible.

John entered Russell bede with low self-esteem – unable to read, write or do simple math problems. He left two years later, well prepared for public school and life.

This past summer we celebrated John’s great accomplishment of Eagle Scout and yesterday he received his first congratulations letter of acceptance to a state college. Proud – happy – grateful = our family! We will be forever thankful for the gift of education Russell Bede gave John and our family.

Thanks for asking and allowing us to share how Russell Bede changed John’s life – forever!"

"Russell Bede School was the right thing at the right time for our children. The quiet environment with minimal distractions fosters learning for kids with distractibility issues. The small class size is ideal and allows for fine tuning and personalizing the teaching to fit the student’s needs. The highly structured approach really helped our kids understand what was expected of them and cut down on their anxiety.

This approach also helped them develop organizational skills that are so important all through school. In addition, it was a warm and nurturing environment. A great experience for our whole family."

"Russell Bede provided a structured learning environment that optimized my son's strengths and helped him to develop compensatory skills and strategies to overcome his weaknesses. It was a wonderful transition step and it provided him with a "can-do" attitude about school and fostered a strong self-esteem. The alternative that we faced was enrollment in a Special Day Class. Unfortunately, few students ever totally become mainstreamed following Special Day Class. Daniel has accepted his learning differences and he continues to build upon previous success. I know that the time that Daniel spent at Russell Bede created a strong foundation. He is currently attending Redeemer Lutheran Scool where he is totally mainstreamed and is maintaining above-average grades. Daniel is another Russell Bede Success story."

"We are so grateful for the experience at Russell Bede School. My daughter has applied with confidence to very competitive colleges. I believe her time at Russell Bede equipped her for ongoing success."

"Words can’t express the appreciation we have for all your efforts, enabling our daughter to learn and grow in a safe, friendly environment. We look forward to the future with optimism, a word not part of our vocabulary before Russell Bede School."

"The staff educated the students and parents and gave us hope. Our son has a 4.2 high school GPA and is taking honors courses. We are so lucky to have found Russell Bede School."

"Our child’s time at Russell Bede School was the most comfortable two years we had. I was able to relax with him in school. We wish he could have stayed longer."

"While at Russell Bede School, my son changed his outlook on his disability. He understood exactly what his problem was and calmed down a lot."

"While attending Russell Bede School, my child went from a nervous, depressed boy to an engaging, humorous and polite young man. He entered the school not reading, and is now achieving above grade level."
