The education I received at St. Martin's Hall was the best! When I taught in an MBA program much later in my life I taught students who knew less about history, logic, the arts, just to mention a few subjects, than I did when I completed the 6th grade.
Endorse St. Martin Hall. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
