This is our 4th year at this school; my daughter started in 2006 in Kinder. I LOVE the changes that are being implemented under the new principal! One of my favorite changes is the addition of smart boards in every classroom (3rd and up; K-2 have 'floating' board to share). The PreK curriculum is great.

My wife and I are convinced that the small class size is another contributing factor. The classrooms are equiped with computer interactive whiteboards which help to engage the students. Also, my 4 yr old would have had to wait to start Kindergarten anyplace else, NOT at Imagine Bell Canyon. We love this place, and want our girls to grow with it! Read less
