I'm a parent of two in the school and the previous review is completely wrong! The administration and faculty bend over backwards for the kids!

The previous review of the principal is on the money.Her attitude is quite clear 'we have a waiting list' so we do not have to listen to your concern, much less work with you! You are very much left to feel like 'if you don't like it, leave'. Your child will get a good education,no doubt, but he/she probably not see school or learning as an adventure or source of fullfilment that it could be. Too bad really, there is a ton of money at this school. Read less

Poor administration, losing all the good teachers. Families are great, but school is in need of an overhaul. In need of a new principal to turn the school around. Considering the price of tuition, they should have stronger teachers and a better principal.
