(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My son has been attending this school since August 08. He is in 1 st grade. The teachers are wonderful, especially Mrs Kolle and Ms Zador. I also volunteer in this school and I find everybody very approachable and friendly, including the principal Dr Sheppard and the vice principal. They follow a very good and curriculum, which challenges the kids and the same time without overt pressure. Iam glad I found this school.

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Found that this school has a great deal of inconsistencies. I have two kids attending one in elementary an another in second grade. The difference in their education or learning is like night and day., not sure where this emanates; either the curriculum is awry and/ or inexperienced teachers. it is concerning to us ( my wife and I ) since I have two more to attend in the next two years. If you are considering this school, my suggestion is learn more about it before you enroll your kids. At this point I am somehow disappointed and confused what are my kids learning, and how they are being taught
