pretty bad experience. 20 thousand dollars a year for below grade level stem classes, boring art classes, absolutely terrible music classes, disrespectful teachers, and barely any opportunities to have a social life since the school is so small? would not recommend. oh! and dont forget that no matter what happens in the school, there is no way to get out of the tuition, even if you dont after the first day.
