The school is more than just educational classrooms. It has become a 2nd home for our family. It's a great place for those who want to be involved in both the educational and extracurricular activities their children will participate in. My teenager was prepared to thrive in high school and her siblings are having a great time following in her footsteps. Classrooms are challenging, and after hours are fun.
