Love it. All the teachers were great and were truly passionate about their jobs. You would rarely find any "bad" or "disruptive" students because everyone here was so nice. They try to incorporate values that will help greatly later in life, and they usually succeed. I loved my time here. The only downsides of going here are the extracurriculars, which were not the best. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend this school.
