I hated this school. I pretended that I was sick just so I didn't have to go to school. This is a very clique-ish school that only accepts you if you are like everyone else. The teachers shout a lot and are very unhelpful and mean. Take it from someone who has gone here for two years. I do not recommend this school to anyone. In fact, I started taking my classes online because I was bullied so much. DO NOT SEND YOUR KID TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT! Close Quote

A very strict school! The teachers are wonderful, and they keep the records "on line" very updated. The comm with the parents is very fluent. They have a system to announce everything and keep in touch by phone. Close Quote
