This school is great for those who require more flexibility and one-on-one tailoring with their assignments. Its a really new school, and it's a Montessori so it's nature is a little bit chaotic and ever changing. To me, its worth the slight chaos for a teenager who has had challenges in traditional schools. The school does a great job at teaching kids how to self advocate and navigate real world problems.

I love the community involvement in everything we do. Because the school is Montessori, community is a very big part of what we focus on. The teachers are all very helpful and supportive in everything the students do. A majority of teachers have gone to support students at games in whatever sports they play. We are more than a community we are a family and having that type of environment has helped me to thrive in my classes and in life outside of school.
