(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The faculty and staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Children are treated with respect and are encouraged to do their very best. Communication is open and also encouraged. The school is kept very clean and awards are given to rooms and classes who keep the neatest tables at lunch. I am very pleased with everything I have witnessed while my children have attended.
