I came to Madison at the end of August in 2021 my 10th grade year. I've loved the experience so far, and the staff is very nice here. My peers are as well and I'm very thankful for them, the academics are very easy and the teachers do teach us a lot, not only for school wise but everyday life. The school is very culture oriented.
