During the time that I attended Bradford preparatory school I had great experiences. The teachers there were very nice and helpful to their students. They also allowed me to attend online community college classes. Furthermore, Bradford prep also had a variety of sports and clubs that a student could attend and sign up for. I would say that Bradford also has prepared me for college because of how teachers formatted their classes.
