Great school, wonderful supportive staff. Was only there for 2 years but I loved every second of it. I loved all my teachers and they were all amazing at their jobs and connecting with students.

It's was a amazing experience I got to get a good education, play the sport I love and meet some of my very best friends.

The reason I love this school so much is because of how each teacher is willing to help me in anything I need help with. Sometimes it's hard to look for someone who can help you.

While this school may have some satisfactory classes and resources, especially in science, it absolutely fails as a mentor to those who are twice exceptional. It also has a subtle religious undertone.
