One of the best school in New York. Everyone would hope to hope their kids in such a school. Education and discipline code are the best and kids act professionally and very respectful.

I like the school because they have a routine and fix rule for all. If anything happens they make sure they take care of the problem right away and call all parents to inform them of the issue.
