Saturday, March 19, 2011

Great school with very personable staff. The teachers are good, the classes not too large. The lower grades are bundled together (1 & 2, 3 & 4) which gives the kids the opportunity to have the same teacher for 2 years and lets the upper grade develop a guiding/leading relationship with the younger kids in each block. The school is big on communication and there is a very good rapport between teachers, parents, and the administration. The school is multi-cultural and tolerance of "otherness" is a important part of its philosophy. My children love to go to C'Port and love learning, which is something that was fostered from the Kindergarten year on. Close Quote
