Greatly dissappointed in this school. There is a lack of supervision and discipline both inside and outside the classroom. Social skills are not taught in the classroom, which is a must for small children. I disagree with the comment that this school teaches the whole child. Part of a teachers 'job'
... Read more is to instill the love of learning in children. This school seems to have the opposite effect. If a child is not learning the way 'we' teach, then maybe we should teach the way they learn. Communication lines are closed and little information is given on specifics. This school lacks many of the programs other schools in the area offer (public & private). Staff seems friendly enough in the beginning, but become downright nasty if you question their techniques or lack of judgement, blaming the child(ren) instead. Read less

Althought they say parent involvement is encouraged, it seems to be more rejected. We also didn't find the teachers or principal to be very understanding about anything that's outside their realm.

Do what we should have done--Save your $4,000 + tuition. Inexperience, lack of discipline, supervision, and communication make this school a HUGE disappointment. And what's more, the principal and staff didn't seem to care.

Inexperienced teachers and principal who appear to be in over their heads when it comes to any child outside their box. A school that is interested in reputation over substance. Could not be more disappointed in the school. That's putting it politely.

This is the most wonderful school you can ask for. The teachers are very considerate and the curriculum is much more advanced than any other school our kids have been to. We are a military family and have seen a lot of schools but this one is so good that we are not willing to leave any more.

As a parent, I must say the sports and extra curricular activities are excellent, due to parent volunteers. However, the quality of education needs improvement, as does the leadership of the school and teacher qualifications. It is imperative in this day and age that teachers and principals be qualified

Five stars is not true but this is overall an okay school. Students score very high and a wide range of after school programs are offered. The uniforms take some getting used to but it could be worse. It is a very small school so all the teachers take time to get to know children personally. The workload
