My son is in Ms. Chews class for 1st grade. Hands down best teacher. You can tell she loves her job and absolutely loves her students and for a parent the peace of mind is priceless. My son comes home everyday telling me new things he has learned!

I have to agree with another poster, this school certainly does beat out WCPSS! I love that they don't use common core and focus on academics NOT politics or agendas. Both my kids LOVE it and are doing very well academically and socially. I appreciate the focus on teaching respect and expecting respect from their students. Lots of volunteer opportunities for parents and a community feel. Teachers and staff are quick to respond, and I appreciate the communication. I was very happy with the switch from WCPSS to this charter school. I foresee great things!

I love this school, sure beats WCPSS! The school offers K-8 and offers community bus stops. They don't use common core and aren't teaching CRT. They offer sports and have uniforms which are great. I love the speedy responses from teachers and staff. The school is brand new and pretty!
