School Reviews

My son attended many years ago. Was in the Lichewa group. He left after 13 months. Biggest mistake ever. He attended a litany of other residential schools across the country, all a disaster. Three Springs was the only one that had the potential for success. The only one who kept communication with parents. Hope it`s. Still that way.
