This is a wonderful school. Fully supportive of their students and their families. My daughter is a middle schooler and is fairly advanced. She gets to work at her own pace without anyone holding her back. Our ES is kind and helpful, and the advisors are all very professional and knowledgeable. This school is every parent's dream. In addition, we get funds to spend on extra-curricular activities and supplies. I can highly recommend this school!
