School Reviews
| 5 I could not be happier with the education that my children have received at this school. The progressive educational philosophy meets them where they are and inspires them to keep learning well beyond what is required in the classroom. They learn to love learning. What could be better than that?! - Posted by Parent - Happy Parent |
