This will be our 3rd year being a SES family...and I cannot wait. Each year has been better than the first, and we thought that was hard to beat. We are continually amazed at the level of dedication, expertise, knowledge and love the entire staff has for the students in the school. This in turn turns into a mutual respect returned from the families. You will be included in the family atmosphere or you may wish to remain on the fringe, just know the education is top notch. The care, safety and well being of each student is a top priority and your child's whole being - heart, mind and soul- is enriched while attending SES.
