This is currently our third year with the school and we are very happy. We were warmly welcomed at their open house one year and it seemed like a no brainer. It feels like a family and that's really special. The education is top notch, smaller class sizes and personal attention is key. They teach kids how to be wholesome which is refreshing. The staff and teachers are so kind. If you are thinking about it, do it - you will have no regrets.
