School Reviews
5 8/4/2020
I have 3 children who graduated from the Center and went on to have wonderful high school and college experiences. I'm writing this review because to this day the Center is the place that they feel set them on an excellent path in terms of their education and, perhaps more importantly, in their development as empathic human beings. It gave them a view of the world as a diverse and exciting place and encouraged values of respect for people that they continue to hold. I volunteered quite a bit at the school, and I saw firsthand the extraordinary connection the teachers and students had. I feel so lucky that this is where they got their start and my children feel the same.
