This school is a God send. Our son struggled in a small public school and we enrolled him when he was in 3rd grade. He has since flourished and is grades ahead in the public school system. He loves going to school now and absolutely loves the disciplined, structure of the school. The teachers are amazingly patient and encouraging with every step. He is in the 5th grade now and loves, loves, loves going to school! The principal is also amazing. Very reasonable tuition. We both HIGHLY recommend this school!
