This school wants each and every student to fit into the same mold, and if they don't fit the mold too bad. The marketing ploy of having an arts based "whole schools" curriculum is just that - a stroke of marketing. Most of the teachers are also parents and have a herd mentality much like a sorority. It is very unfortunate because there is a need for a good catholic and Catholic school in the Jackson area.
