I'm a former educator who worked at whole child learning schools in the West Coast. I was determined to find a school in Virginia Beach that believed in this concept and my daughter could thrive. This school cultivates a passion for learning. The teachers are incredible providing individualized learning. When my daughter needed extra support the teacher provided extra time after school. My daughter is respected and appreciated for her different opinions. Critical thinking is embraced.

The campus is great and the teachers are wonderful but they have zero diversity and sports is more than lacking. Also there is no cafeteria but they are charging $16,000 a year. They don't even have snack machines.
