Desert Willow is a very welcoming place. It feels like family. The office staff are so friendly and helpful. Everyone you pass on campus says hi and it feels like they are all genuinely happy to be there.

The school has been named an Excelling School for 6 year in a row. My son thrives at Desert Willow. He is given many opportunites outside the classroom that he has not received at other schools. The community environement makes my family feel very welcome whenever on campus. I love Desert Willow!
