We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Talbot Hill was a fantastic school that taught students what it was like to live in the real world (being one in a handful of Microsociety schools in the nation) and the school was always looking for ways to improve its academics, with one example being a student-led board of education. The school always made sure that its students were excited to come back the next day.
