The facility is great. Beware they expect students to start reading at age 3. So get a tutor(kumon). A lot of principle and teacher kids go their. There kids already have an advantage. The principles and teachers children already have the books for class. They have already studied the material. Close Quote

I love this school. My sons go here and love the montessori approach to learning. Each class has a garden and there is a lot of interaction/activities between parents and the school (ie., volunteering, class activities). It's small enough that everyone knows your name here and your child. My son performs above grade level so I like that they test at the beginning of the year to determine their level and then give them work that matches (instead of simply teaching to the average). They don't compete against others here...only themselves. Close Quote
