(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My family and i moved to this area a year ago, i have a set of twins that attend New Salem and their teachers are great! They are two of the best 1st grade teachers. My kids come from the Balt. Cty school district and were a little behind, but with the help of these two outstanding and patient teachers,my kids are at the same level as the other students.The teachers help me as well, both teachers helped ease my fear in this transition and were patient with me as well. I could not ask for a better school for my twins, i thought buying my first home was the reason i came to PA, but i found out that i was brought to this area for my kids to give them the education they deserve and the quality of life they need!
