School Reviews

I went to school here and did things I could not do in a conventional school. I helped write and acted in a school play, I became actively involved in school projects, and developed interpersonal communication skills with my teachers. I only went to school her for 6 months, but during that time I met the greatest teacher I will ever know, not only did he teach me science but also life skills and guided me to my goals in life. I am now finishing my bachelors of science. Pretty good for a teen mom everyone. written off! Thank you Delta academy, thank you Nair.
