There is alot of favoritism in this school. They hire many teachers and staff who are relatives or good friends with parents. Who knows if these people are even qualified. So of course their kids are considered special. There's also no point to putting your kid in this school after nursery because the parents get to know each other and become friends with all the teachers and you will be odd man out. Those parents and their kids are the only ones that matter. There are cliques and there's no way inside of them. You and your kids will be left out and have less opportunities. The academics are the same as anywhere else. They give alot of homework that is really just doing the same thing over and over. Which I thought was not necessary when they could have been advancing. It was a bad decision putting my kids in here and I regretted it for a long time but at glad I took them out sooner than later.

They are a full grade ahead. We have never donated a dollar and are not involved with the school in any way besides se...

First, they year we spent here was one of the most stressful of my life. I had a knot in my stomach every day when my kids came home over what they were going to tell me. It's just a difficult thing when you know your kids are not getting the education they need in a solid environment and are being...

My child attended for a short time but we left because education needed to be bumped up & teachers don’t really push the kids. Parents are cliquish and not very open to others. Not the friendliest, warmest environment for little ones.
