Angier is a first rate school! We are so lucky to have our children there. The teaching is top notch, and our children have never had less than two teachers assigned to their class, and a few years there were 3+ instructors/aides, which makes a huge difference in the kids being able to learn effectively. Social emotional instruction is also very strong at Angier, and we have seen the results of this focus in a hugely beneficial way. Angier is fantastic!! Close Quote
