This school teaches those kids that are academically advanced and gifted. Music, sports and advanced math are some of their subjects to mention some. I love how my son is always ahead of the game in comparison with other students from different schools.

I am a student at this school and I am moving up to 6th grade (it is the summer now) and I love this school. I was in this school since I was in kindergarten and now i am almost about to enter middle school, they have taught a lot to me. Well Done!
