My daughter attends this school, and she has come out of her shell. She is more confident and the teachers are great!!

My daughter goes there, and she was speaking Spanish our native language and the teacher was like Speak English you are in America now. Or go back to where ever you came from. That tore my daughter's heart, and I immediately withdrew her. But she will never be the same.
