My daughter has been in school for 3 years and we absolutely LOVE the school. From the teachers to the principal and the staff, this school is run by an amazing group of people. In her years at CTT, my daughter has learned so much. We are very happy with the academic rigor this school offers along with an acute focus on imparting good moral values to the kids. I recommend this school wholeheartedly to any parents who are looking for a caring and nurturing environment where the kids have a ton of fun learning.
