Open Quote My son started Kindergarten in a regular public school. In the second semester, he was in Sweetwater. I can honestly say that I am very happy I made the switch. He loved it, and his academic skills went above and beyond what I expected. He knows multiplication tables, can read books, can write. It is a very excellent school. I would highly recommend this school Close Quote
