We chose to move to Wellington because it is centered around the children and am proud to say The school system here has been the best I have ever seen I watch my step son go from a confused young man to one of the top 10, he is an a,b honor student not because we push but because the school system encourages him to be all he can be. I would say if you have a choice bring your children here to learn you will find old fashion school values with all the new techonolgy of today
