I was a concerned parent at first due to my children needs, but was put at ease right away and helped with more than what I can ask. I am so blessed to have my children in such an amazing school who's staff is truly remarkable. They have a principal who truly loves and knows her students. The teachers are amazing and hard working.

I am so blessed to have my children in such an amazing school. They have a principal who truly loves and knows her students. The teachers are amazing and hard working. I can not believe how much my daughter can read and write for a 1st grader. I am blessed to be in such an amazing school.

Went to Parent Teacher Conferences last week. Love the teacher, not much to say about the school except that my children have yet to visit the beautiful library. Such a waste. We will be looking at other schools for next year, one that lets the children visit the library regularly.
