My kids love this school because there is no homework. My kids are so happy because they have good friends and many challenging projects at the school. At first I was skeptical with the no homework thing. However, they aced all their standardized tests. My kids love this school so much that I threatened them with "if you don't do your piano there will be no school tomorrow." They hurried to practice their piano lessons with that simple threat.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
