  • Rating: 1 (1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
  • It was a HUGH mistake entrolling our student in the Talent Development program at this school. The Administration in this program is very unethical. Please consider any and all other Private schools in the Augusta area. It was the WORST experience my child has ever had. I would NEVER recommend this school to ANYBODY!!!
