I’ve gained Lifelong friends through this community
elizabeth Nordlund says
This is the best home school we have ever experienced and has been an absolute life changer for our son and our family. We weren’t sure what to expect trying something totally new after the big shut downs in 2020 with the public schools but we were pleasantly surprised at this wonderful little educational place that came into our lives. Our son absolutely loves it. He loves the combination of learning from home and live part time at his own pace and has met lifelong friends in the process. This is the best money well spent and we would highly recommend it to other children of all ages k-12. We only wish we had found American Academy sooner but better late than never!

Thx gold fish

I was so unhappy with the other Dance Studios that I took my child to until I found Storeybook Dance ! She loves I mean loves going there! The teachers there are terrific they are so wonderful with the kids they make them have a lot of fun while learning.. And Miss Jennifer, oh my gosh she is one of a kind. I wish they were all like her :-)My daughter loves and so enjoys putting on the little shows and she’s so good I can’t believe it she has learned so much from Stoerybook dance and it’s all due to Miss Jennifer I think. Keep up the good work Storeybook
