School Reviews

I have 2 children in the Candil Jacaranda School. My oldest child has attended for 3 years and I am very pleased. The director Mrs. Medina is always present and visable. The teachers are very nice. You have access to the teachers in the morning and the afternoon to ask questions or get feedback. The school is small and I have gotten to know many of the students and staff over the years and they are all great people. The school seems happy and most importantly my child is happy!
