School Reviews

5 7/17/2015

The curriculum is very strong and prepares students well for any competitive program either in the private or public school system. Emphasis is placed more on mastery than memorization of skills. I will say that the program is geared more for the above average student that is well motivated. There are several activities offered such as chess, music, dance, karate, violin, swimming, public speaking, STEM, chess club, Spanish, and science club. I love that chess, music, and Spanish are part of the curriculum. The use of the combination classes are excellent and does well to allow students an opportunity to move ahead. The students who move from the preschool program there seemingly come in a lot more advanced but new students from outside seem to catch on quickly.
