My daughter has attended this school since pre-k and is now in 7th grade. She loves everything about it well, except the uniforms but she has learned that having uniforms is actually better because you cant worry about one girl's or boy's clothes be better than anothers. The school is great on discipline.

One of the more impressive things is the attention paid to the arts, music, language and sports. These are some of the happiest, well rounded kids I have ever seen.
