School Reviews

5  
This school is academic strong with professional teachers who are experts in respective area. There are more than 70 after-school clubs/activities to choose. The campus is small but there's an indoor gym and basketball grounds. The school provides shuttle buses for extra sports in nearby clubs/schools - such as tennis, soccer, swimming, and more are adding on. My son is a 6th grade here and we sign him up for three clubs in the campus - all taught by school teachers ( doctor degree owners) and we don't need to drive him around for other tutoring. This is very convenient for silicon valley double-workers. Overall we are satisfied with the school!
