My children went to this school for 2 years. I was very frustraited by their lack of support for music and elementary sprorts. The school does not provide activities through the school. This leaves out children that do not have money for private lessons. Future muscians will not have the critical education that is needed at a very young age. I also found that physical education is lacking. Children need to know how to take care of their bodies. Teaching them fitness and they keys to a healthy body is very important. Academically they are ok but for life skills very poor.
