This school has worked wonderfully with my daughter and I, to not only give her the best education at school but help make it smooth at home.

Both of my children go to accelerated learning laboratory. Last year when my son started kindergarten he couldn't even read and he could barely write his name. He currently is doing math that I learned in middle school, and he is in first grade. The teachers have helped him one on one to adjust to learning. The school allows children to go at their own pace and at the same time encourages them to excel. I love the school so much I decided to put my younger son in preschool there even though it would cost (slightly) more than daycare ($25 a day!!) because he is learning so much every day! No sports are offered which could detract some, but there is a beautiful pool on campus used for P.E. During the warmer weeks of the year.

This school teaches are children that they can set themselves up for higher learning. They feel confident and excel. This school does not tell students that learning is hard. The learn very young that all learning can be fun and easy. You will have to put your child first. Get p.e. Sports and music from a outside source.
2 9/16/2010
This school does not offer sports, music, art or P.E. Only a few of their teachers are even qualified to teach! Children are not actually learning, they are simply memorizing worksheets in order to master them.
