We just love Garden City School! We've had our children going there since 2001. It is like sending your children to private school for free. They are known by first name by most all teachers. Children love that. They have fun children activities throughout the year that parents are encouraged to participate with and are welcome to come see. They motivate all the children to be the best that YOU can be, not to judge themselves by other childrens accomplishments.I drive my children to and from school everyday for the past almost 10 years with no regrets. I tell people about Garden City every chance I get. Its just a great little schoolhouse.
Thank you for your time.
