School Reviews
5 9/22/2023
Being a firm believer that the job of a school is education and not indoctrination makes me rate this school extremely high. The school strives for the development of healthy and well-rounded individuals with an independent approach to problems that involve critical thinking. These kids are properly socialized in their day-to-day approach to working with each other and in teams. What Aldo is able to do is nothing short of amazing!
