Paseo Pointe Dual Language Academy - Laveen Village, Arizona

Kristi Bursaw

Our daughter is in kindergarten and has been going here for one month. I have had nothing but positive things to say so far. There have already been SO many opportunities for parents to be involved in their child's education: PTA meetings and Curriculum night, which explained what they are working on and how we can best support our children through the process of learning to be bilingual. The teachers work so well together integrating both Spanish and English and the principal Miss Pashley is visible everyday I pick up my child, which tells me she is available and cares deeply about the success of the school. I think we're going to love being Paseo Pointe Rams!!

My niece is in the 6th grade at Paseo Point and I am happy at how happy she is there. Academics have not always been easy for her and her teachers take the time to work with her. She constantly raves about how much she loves it there. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of her teachers. Tristan Henderson stuck out as an amazing instructor. He takes the time with his students and her confidence in her academics has skyrocketed because of him. She actually enjoys going to school now and will call me with her positive progress reports.

My children are so happy at Paseo Pointe! My son is in preschool, which is absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend their preschool program. I'm looking forward to him entering the DLI program and learning Spanish. My daughter is in 4th grade and loves all of her teachers! I love ALL of the staff at Paseo - everyone truly cares about the students.

My experience with the entire Laveen school district has been positive, and the dual language program would be a reason to send my student to Paseo Pointe, but the program is not in the upper grades at this time. I have also dealt with Tristan Henderson in an educational setting as well as on a personal level. He has inspired my student to learn and come out of her shell. I wouldn't hesitate to have my student interact with him in any setting. If you have an opportunity, check out Paseo Pointe with Kristi Pashley as principal and Tristan Henderson as an educator!

First year with the Laveen School District and the experience has been great. We chose Paseo Pointe because of it's Dual Language Immersion Program. Teachers work with the students and parents to ensure success in all areas. The principal, Kristi Pashley, is wonderful! She is committed to the school and the students and works hand in hand with the staff and parents to guarantee your kids' success.

Our Paseo Pointe student loves his school. The staff and administration throughout the district are stellar. We chose Paseo Pointe specifically for the dual language immersion. We also have students at Vista Del Sur (in the Laveen District); however with Vista having an accelerated curriculum, Vista is not for every student.

Another reason we based our decision upon choosing Paseo Pointe was our experience working with the Principal, Kristy Pashley and many respected teachers who transferred from Vista to Paseo Pointe. As we complete our first year at Paseo Pointe we remain encouraged in the education and social environment given to our child.

Last, I understand every person is entitled to their own opinion. Please allow me to comment on the negative reviews posted for Paseo Pointe on Google. I understand some people feel as if their experience has been negative. Each situation is different, but from experience with this Administration and Staff, they conduct themselves with great professionalism at all times. Most have been with the district for years and have gained the respect of many parents and students.

We recommend Paseo Pointe and any school within the Laveen Elementary School District. Thank you for reading.

I read some of the bad reviews and think to my self, I don't see what they see. I think the school is great especially for a school on its 1st year. My daughter does not just color in class. She know how to add, subtract, read in Spanish and English now. What more do u want from a none private school? The teachers are great. I get emailed and informed on everything, I drop off/pick up my daughter everyday and walk her to class and get greeted by the staff. The only thing I can tell you parents is to check out the school yourself and find out if you like it for your child. Don't bass it off Google map reviews.

Our friends have two students at Paseo Pointe. They have nothing but amazing things to say about this school. The teachers are dedicated and care about the progress their students make. I was sad to see Tristan Henderson leave Vista del Sur. He was a fantastic coach to the boy's football team and my niece was in his class for part of the day last year. She has only wonderful things to say about Mr. Henderson.
