Tuesday, May 31, 2016

The children are treated with respect and kindness. The STEM certification means that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are strongly offered and taught with professional expertise.
There is much parent involvement which enriches the school in many ways. The neighborhood association also provides money and other support to this school.
My grandson has been in the school for seven years, prek through grade five. I am a retired educator who has been warmly welcomed in classrooms as a volunteer.
I can detect excellent teaching and I have seen it here at Sagamore Hills. Close Quote
