We are zoned for the public school but just cannot imagine the child being one of twenty-six with one teacher and no para. Our child's class has eleven students with one dynamic teacher and one assistant. That makes the ration 1/5 or 1/6. The curriculum is strong. The grounds and supervision are safe.

The children are exposed to basic Christian principles. They have recently been inspected and approved by the Board of Health. There are no outstanding problematic issues observed in local schools, eg) closed doors where parents are shut out, overcrowding, communication breakdowns, finger-pointing, or sloppy curriculum.
