The teachers are exceptional. The take the time to get to know every student and teach them according to how they learn. My children have improved in so many areas of academics since they started here. The Music program is amazing under the direction of Ms. Kelly Silvestri. Students are consistently recognized for their achievements in academics and athletics.
