School Reviews
5 6/9/2020
I attended Nishuane back in 1999-2002. I remember my time there fondly. I loved the diversity which bred a healthy culture of understanding and solidarity. I loved that they spent so much time talking about MLK and black leaders and the importance of their movements. I love that they began teaching us new languages while we were still young and malleable. Also, an amazing art program. I'm forever grateful for my time there.
