We started our daughter at Neo around first grade, they picked her up, made sure she got her homework done, all under supervision in small groups. For two working parents this was necessary.
By the time my daughter left there, it was the primary source of education. Neo ingrained into to her the culture of excellence, many years on she is still a straight “A” student, gets to her homework without prodding and often in anger at us over time she needs to spend on it. We know to a certainty that the years she spent at Neo was the reason for this.
Through the elementary grades she got into a black hole classes. Ones with absent teachers who would be out for weeks or worse child care teachers: those who come in a few days a week for the whole year so that they can take care of their own child. Everyone from the kids to the parents knew how bad it was. The principal always refused to move my child. Near the end of her last year my daughter scored very high on the standardised tests, far higher than the other kids in her class. There was a stark obviousness of where it was from “ Neo”, the whole time, in every grade. Thank you, I have nothing but gratitude.

NEO Learning Center was probably one of the best things to ever happen to my academic life. The work ethic and a sort of familial care about a student's future really set NEO apart from other afterschool programs. The people there truly care about how we do, not just while we are students there, but also after we leave. Yes, as a student at NEO I hated it there: while my classmates in middle school got to go and have fun after school I had to go to a specially designated building made for learning and do homework. However, this disciplined me to think more like a scholar. I improved so much as a student over my five years at NEO and, when I left in eighth grade, I knew I had the skills I would need to tackle high school. So if you're reading this, know that it is 100% worthwhile sending your child to NEO... and not simply for the academics, but also because of the warmth and genuineness of the people there.

I feel so fortunate that I found Neo, highly recomneded by my neighbors. All their kids go to Neo. Miss Nora has been an amazing teacher to my daughter, specially helping my daughter to get used to the structure of completing home work, and helping my daughter to master alphabet and math, since my daughter started TK and attended a play based pre school with no focus on academics what so ever. Neo also has very convenient hours and they even open on the days that my daughter's school is closed! I am more than happy with Neo.
