Almost all of the teachers are amazing and incredibly understanding. Although the lack accessibility for disabled students is disappointing and the culture can be polarizing if you aren't willing to be friends with EVERYONE, but the resources are great if you're interested in the film industry (their other programs are sorely lacking).

I love the diversity and atmosphere of the school. The system of project based learning allows a good relationship between the students and teachers. Everyone is very excepting and kind. There has been no bullying that I have found. The teachers are kind and understanding and will listen to what the students have to say.
