Keeping my response to 150 words will be difficult. We will be entering our 6th year at CDS, with two children at the school.

I have and will continue to recommend this schools to my family and friends. Last year was our first year at CDS and I'm not sure where some of the people that wrote reviews sent their children but I find it very difficult to believe it was CDS in Scottsdale AZ. We had two children whom both grew exponentially
