We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At this school, out of the six schools I have attended, I've made the closest friends and also have learned my potential as a student. At this school they stressed that it was an IB school ( International Baccalaureate). It's an incredible school and environment, and it taught me a lot of what I know today.
