The academics are great at BTP, and the kids are challenged to excel in all ways. The teachers are top-notch, as well, and know their subject material very well. The only thing I'd ding them for is that they don't provide lunches or have facilities to do so. The boosters there provide a daily hot lunch menu, though, so even if you can't pack a lunch for your kiddo, or you just want to treat them to something different, you can do that.

My kid suffered a lot in this school. Management in this school does not care at all unless they see benefit from you. Communications with the school are bounced back frequently but your issue just couldn't be addressed. My whole family suffered and had to seek trauma therapy after sending kid to this school.

T...

I highly recommend this school if you plan to be involved in your child's education. The teachers have a excellent way of communicating with the parents about their child's assignments and progress during class. You would have to be asleep to not know what is happening with your child's learning. My...
