I have had my kids there for 3 years and every year I love the school more. The teachers are amazing, there are so many school activities and parents are highly involved. My favorite activities this year was the bike rodeo for third graders where my kid got a bike license, their talent show and Flags Around the World event. My kid is going to their GATE programe for 4th grade abd im loving the combination of IB and GATE.
