School Reviews
5 9/16/2010
This is a great school. I'm especially impressed with their music department. They have a beautiful facility with lots of parent involvement. In addition to regular music and band, they also put on at least one special show or play each year. All the artwork for the play is also done by the kids with the help of the art teachers.
