Everyone experiences are different first and foremost. I personally do not feel this is a good school. I recommend any parent thinking of having their child attend hear research it thoroughly talk to other parents whose child has attended there, and visit the school during class changes, lunch break, etc. if possible. The staff is very bias and quick to throw a child away. They use their pens and wording as their defense mechanism. Beware.
