The riding team is very well made with a very good training system and some fo the best coaches I have had. The academic teams are wonderful with many activities relating to the topic along with a thorough learning procedure. The building all are in good quality and the riding facilities and the indoor arena are fantastic. Love this school so much have learned quite a bit for only being here for a year.

This school has a very bad track record of assisting students with accommodations. I know first hand of two students who, after scheduling expensive appointments to get a formal diagnosis on the books, were excluded from the school for the grades they were receiving without accommodations. I wish someone would explain the logic to me. This seems to violate the ADA.

I am a 3 year junior and I love this school. The academics are rigorous but it is definitely manageable with plenty of opportunities to make than even harder. There are tons of options for leadership roles to grow within the community. All of these help the most with the intangibles, personality growth, ability to help others, and the strength to sit at a table where someone is alone.

100 percent agenda based. Your child is just a profit margin here.

The communication fro...

The people are very inclusive and always looking for ways to problem solve and offer support. There is plenty of time for one-on-ones with teachers and they focus a lot on individual learning. There are tons of affinity groups and communities that encourage global involvement. The community has foun...
