The school has been a huge blessing to our 3 children. The academics are challenging, but the expectations are understood, and the teachers present the material well. Our kids feel loved, and the leadership staff works hard to address any concerns from the parents. The new administrator is doing an amazing job! I would recommend the school to anyone!
