Everything I wanted for my daughter. I count my lucky stars daily. This is a place where the students really dig into projects and academia is taken seriously but the kids always come first. A conversation with a teacher about a life challenge will likely yield an extension on an assignment. Quirky kids are made to feel welcome. Pete Karp, the dream Principal, often has coffee brewing in his office for the high schoolers. He has an open door and they're invited to hang out. Bullying will not be tolerated. It's just the greatest place--my daughter has awoken on a Saturday morning wishing it was a school day. When does that happen?!!!! Close Quote
