Eric Norfeldt school is an exceptional public school. Based on the Classical Magnet theme this school offers an extraordinary experience for your child. French classes starts in Kinderkarten and Latin begins in fourth grade. Music, Art and Physical Education are stressed. Parental involvement in school activities is close to 100%. Mrs. Falvey the school's principal is a visionary and provides exceptional leadership to the school. The teachers are caring, intelligent and hard working in every sense. The total experience for our two children and us as parents has truely been magical.
