My sons mother enrolled him in Triad school, she signed a contract with the school stating she would give 30 days notice which she did not. She removed my son from the school and owes a balance.I purchased my son a laptop at the apple store for his class, being she pulled him out of school I went to retrieve my property.I was told they were keeping my laptop and had it locked up and would not give it back to me because an entirely different person signed a binding contact with them and owes them money.Basically they told me straight up they are keeping my brand new MacBook and absolutely will not return it. What a terrible organization. I have filed a police report for stolen property and will sue them in court for the price of the MacBook and lost wages to attend court. Steer clear of this school.

We have really appreciated Triad School for our older child, who is now finishing up her second year there. We are sending our other child to this school this fall. One of the biggest advantages to us of Triad is the educational model, where for core subjects students are moved to the academic level that best suits them. For example, math is at the same hour for the entire school, so a child who is more advanced or needs more help can float to the level and small group that best suits them. This happens very seamlessly and (as far as I can tell) without stigmatizing students. Small group assignments can shift quite easily as needs change. Not having to spend time and energy advocating for just the right amount of challenge for my child is huge. The curriculum is varied, including Spanish, science, art, social emotional learning, PE, and a theater-like session with Kidscape. The physical campus has nice classrooms that each has some slightly different nice features. The outdoor area is not huge but is well maintained and seems adequate for the size of school. The teachers are really engaged and design interesting class material. As an example, my child (who is in one of the younger grades) is currently working on a year-end research project of a major public figure, using both reading and video material to learn more about this figure. This is a culmination of progress made this year in reading and social studies. My child will also get practice in synthesizing and presenting real-world information to her class. Another example is in PE, which could easily be cursory and boring. Instead, the teacher varies the PE curriculum. She used the winter Olympics as a way to create games mimicking different athletic events, which my child enjoyed so much even though she is really not a sports lover. The staff (such as the director and the main admin as the main individuals who interface with the parents) are smart and capable. Interacting with them always makes me think my kids are in good hands. As a non-academic example, my child has some severe food allergies, and all the teachers (not just her homeroom teacher) are great about alerting me ahead of time about any food being offered in the classroom. So there is clearly a policy about this and it's adhered to. Bottom line, my experience has been that Triad is a well-run and organized school that offers excellent, well-rounded programming and has been a great fit for my child. My child truly loves school and really hates when she has to miss due to the occasional illness. I'm hopeful we will have as great of an experience with our (very different) other incoming child!

Tried a few private schools and public school before sending my son here. The previous schools were awful for multiple reasons. My son loves school now, is doing absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't be happier with the curriculum, teachers and security the school has to offer.

Triad School is the best private K-8 school in the Reno area. They have small class sizes and individualized learning, which has been the most beneficial for my son. From what I have seen in over two years at Triad is the staff is what makes this school amazing. They truly care about the students and the majority of them are continuing their own education in the field. If you are looking for a place for your child to flourish then I highly recommend scheduling a tour with Triad School. If you ask any student I am sure they will tell you that they love it at Triad. I know my son does.

Triad has been a complete game changer for our son. We are so grateful to Ms. Blinde and her staff for creating such a welcoming and positive environment. My son has done a complete 180; now he enjoys school, participates, and feels safe because he is in a respectful environment. The curriculum is engaging, and based on my conversations with Ms. Blinde, it is clear to see she is always on the lookout for current research to better serve the students. There is a definite feel of community here and my son has learned to enjoy school again. This school is a great asset to Reno.

Love the safety, and the small classes. The staff is very one on one and aware of the students’ individual strengths and needs. The homework club after school takes the pressure off of doing nightly homework. The Administrators/Owners are hands on with the students and teachers, and stay in constant contact with the parents. We are very happy with Triad. Coming from public school, there is no comparison.
