My student is in high school. We're very impressed with their empirically-based science program, the extensive arts, and music programming. Yes, the homework is very rigorous but our daughter is able to participate in varsity basketball and volleyball and some outside dance classes. The teachers have been very available to us when we reach out with questions and requests. We've been pleasantly surprised by some of the elective offerings like improv, Mandarin, boxing. There is definitely a community vibe to this school -- which is nice to see.
