School Reviews
5 5/1/2007
I highly recommend this sohool to other parents when you are looking for everything you need in a school. I am especially impressed with the MicroSociety Program that is at this school. This program enables children to learn not only academically but socially and how to cope with things of the world also how to become great leaders and entrepreneurs. This school was a great blessing to my child when she was unable to get the appropriate help she needed dealing with a speech problem that she had. This school has an exceptional academic program. My child was involved not only academically but in every area. My child had low self-esteem at one point of time but I can truly say with the help of the principal and staff today she has become a great leader and whereas her grades were low at a point of time she now is a honor student.
