Absolutely outstanding teachers, and unique model of teaming/looping that allows students and teachers to move from grade 7 to grade 8 together. At this very pivotal age, this helps track both academic progress as well as allow teachers to really get to know the students, and identify possible academic or social issues that may affect them. We wouldn't have our kids anywhere else.
