We are a blended family of 7 children and have had the opportunity to experience several area schools. Wilderness was by far our favorite, kids choice and parents choice. Communication was wonderful between faculty and parent and children were treated with the respect they were asked to show others....

I love this school!! My three kids went there and two are still currently there. My son has ADHD and they work with him, he loves his teaches! I recently started volunteering there and they are really great with kids. The teachers are so amazing I would recommend this school to any parent!
