School Reviews
5 11/21/2022
My granddaughter recently joined this school. She came from another state. Her confidence in the school was very low. She could doubt herself in everything. After a few weeks of being there, I've noticed such a change. She enjoys school. She comes home ready and willing to do homework. She is constantly sharing facts she learned in school. She has become so confident. We are so happy with their progress, so proud of her and grateful for school. Thank you.
