| 5 Bending Oaks academic programs: EXCELLENT.
Teachers: OUTSTANDING
Facilities: AWESOMELY HAPPY
Lots of music, arts, sports and extracurricular activities.
Bending Oaks is the best school my son (and his parents) have ever experienced. With four children, and moving many times all over the States and once out of the States, we have gone through EIGHTEEN different private schools. No question about it: Bending Oaks is the best of the best.
BOHS is still playing a pivotal role in building up my son's self esteem after an emotional crisis he had three tears ago. With the love and expertise of his parents, his therapists and the teachers and administrators of Bending Oaks, my son is starting to shine again. God bless the amazing people that make BOHS possible! - Posted by Parent - shosh |
| 5 Great school - Great teachers!! I highly recommend Bending Oaks High School for students that want a more personal, creative and fulfilling high school experience. My son thrived during his four years there and it was worth every dollar. - Posted by Parent - chapm |
