School Reviews
5 1/31/2013
As a parent I especially love how each student can progress at his/her own rate in a way that really nourishes self-esteem and confidence. In the elementary I love how students receive feedback and teachers make sure they really know and understand things, requiring students to make corrections to their work to consolidate that understanding rather than just moving on because the curriculum dictates it regardless of whether they get it or not. The caliber of teaching staff is excellent and the whole environment is warm and supportive not just to students but to families as well.
