School Reviews
5 5/9/2022
I highly recommend this school for K-8 students. My kids have done extremely well here. There is a great sense of community, and it's very caring. The school uses individualized learning, and the teachers clearly care about their students. There is a nice variety of extracurricular clubs and sports, and during school, the students have art, music, PE, and a maker space class. The culture is warm and the school is fairly small compared to others in the area, which is nice for younger kids. I can't say enough good things about this school, and I think every parent in the area should check it out. We feel very lucky to have started our kids here back in kindergarten.
