We are entering our sixth year of having our kids at Creative City. My kids have very different strengths and learning styles and we have watched the school give each child (now entering Grades 3 and 5) exactly what they need to be successful. We are so excited that our youngest Is finally old enough for Kindergarten in the fall.

My son just finished 5th grade last year and my daughter is in 1st. This school has been wonderful for both of them. My son is now in the ingenuity program for middle school and he's been prepared really well. My daughter loves school and learning. They've had great experiences at Creative City.
