I have three kids at high peaks, we've had a great experience overall. The teachers seems to really love their jobs and the kids enjoy learning and excel academically but are not encouraged to be competitive with one another in a negative way, it feels more like engagement to try your best and dive into learning. The teachers have really impressed us and our kids are real happy there. Since all kids choice into this school we don't live right by many of our kids school friends, which is a trade off for sure.
