My son has attended this school since Kindergarten and is now in 4th. The teachers have all been amazing. Each special in their own way. My son has had wonderful grades and has learned so much so fast. The teachers truly care about these kids and so does the office staff and helpers. They offer so many fun after-school activities for the kids. Robotics, Art classes, Japanese club, Outreach club and more. We are truly blessed to be able to have our son attend this God-loving school.
