School Reviews

My son LOVE this school from the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum. The entire school integrates compassion into its teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of its classes and lessons. Though it is a small school, it allows for a lower student-to-teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions, engaging in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your child their good behaviors and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner.
