What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, February 7, 2011

The school curriculum is fair. However, it was not as expected. The worst part about this school is that the director and most of the teachers have a low level of professionalism. They are condescending to the parents and do not promote an atmosphere to elevate self esteem for all children. There is an air of favoritism. If you as a parent are not accepted, your child may suffer the consequences. Close Quote
