School Reviews
5 8/20/2019
I'm very impressed with the caliber of teachers and programs at this school and am so glad I enrolled my daughter early since kindergarten. When my daughter is around other kids her age range you can definitely see the difference. She's independent, well behaved, respectful, excelling academically and socially. We have a great partnership. We do our part at home and the school definitely does their part during the day. I definitely recommend this school. I have no regrets.
