If you are interested in this school, ask the principal how many students come back for one, two, three more years. It seems there is a new crop of students every fall and they don't stay.

My

Activities included snorkeling, kayaking, and archery. A marine science curriculum gave my son a good experience. The orchestra experience is also valuable.
