This school is amazing, to just go down and visit. It has lots of kind student that would like to meet you and get to know you alittle. Also if you do a concert for them they will love you forever andwouldnt want you to leaved, but to play more songs for them. Even doing a workshop with some of the students is great. Teaching them how to play the steel drum was alsome. ' Its a miracle.' one of the blind students said when they were geting a workshop. It was very touching. I loved it alot.

This is sunny , clean school with a great welcoming attitude and eagerness to help students with their families. There up to 6 kids in class and 1 teacher and 2 teacher assistants. What does my blind and disable kid need? Love, fun, great energy, feeling of a teamwork and support of learning basic skills. And you get from it from the principal, teachers and therapists. Our visual therapist recommended this school and every day I know I made the best decision for my kid and my family.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
