I'm graduating this year. I wouldn't have made it to where I am today if it weren't for the teachers, every one of them cares so much about all the students, they never gave up on me throughout my entire life going here, even when I gave up on myself. Being such a small school, I can also get really good one-on-one help from the teachers. The area is also beautiful, I never get tired of all the nature around here, it's such a calming place. The school also has an amazing counselor who has helped me through a lot of rough times. The issue with it being such a small school, though, is that it can be really hard to find friends. I don't have any peers here I connect with, which can be taxing. The kids often break up into two groups - boys and girls - and, as someone who's never identified too strongly with either, it can often feel like I don't fit in. Though, bullying has never really been an issue. In my 12 years going to this school, I can't recall ever being bullied. I don't think I'd go to a different school if I had the opportunity to go back. In a regular school, with lots more children, I think I could very easily get left behind, and without help like the help I get at this school, I don't think I'd be able to recover.

My children have enjoyed their experience at this school. The school is truly focused on the development of the whole child. I highly recommend this school.

Great school, loving teachers, perfect learning experience, stress and bullying free zone.
