I applaud the school's efforts and leadership in providing a safe environment for all students, especially during the pandemic. I feel blessed for my daughter being a part of the school community. The upper school 5-day boarding program is a gem. Flexible signup and included meals are plus.

With its high price tag we expected better s...
