School Reviews
4 6/26/2021
Both my kids at the school got ample feedback to improve. As is expected, unless the parent spends time with the child on homework and improvements - it gets tough on the child. Homework assistance is available as is extra tutoring. But do note if you want sports as key and extra-curricular as key, -- don't expect your kid to do it on their own. The art teacher's are really involved and encourage the kids. Pandemic has taken a toll but I do like the way classes were conducted even remotely. Ditto on the music teachers. The gym teacher really did some interesting ways to engage the kids - I learnt a few yoga moves myself.
