(Rating: 4 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - The academics of this school are wonderful. I feel my child is getting a great education. The social environment is one that brings out the best in my child. I am not pleased with the lack of interest in physical health of the children. There is no place for indoor play or gym time. In the winter the students don't get much outside time due to weather. With the increase in childhood obesity, I feel it is important to instill good health habits in the early years. Physical activity is very important, and for my son, even more important. How can children be expected to sit still and listen all day when there is no place to expell some energy?
