Posted January 8, 2010

I rate this school as exceptional. Three of my children have been at this school and all are thriving. The teachers are patient, inventive and use the resources to make each child feel special. The art and music programs are very inclusive and on a par with a middle school in the types of activities afforded. My children have taken flute, chorus, done acting, public speaking studied the impressionists, been exposed to wonderful authors in person and have a community that truly cares about them. They are also learning to read, write legibly and do complex math that is tough at times for me to keep up with.
