I don t think there are many other schools where I could say that I was friends with my teachers. The off campus education programs to the Everglades, New York City, and Costa Rica are some of my favorite things.

The school has one point in it's favor; it lacks competition. Academically, it does not meet the critera of an independent private school (weak). Lastly, if it has not, as yet, it will price itself out as an independent school. Save your money, and look further afield. Read less
