I have/had 3 kids go to Midway. I have 2 gifted daughters who have enjoyed the Horizons program. I also have a son who is developmentally delayed. The extra help he's received with speech and from the special ed teachers is top notch. I couldn't dream up a better team to help him. I feel lucky to have my kids go to Midway. It feels like community. Close Quote

This school has surpassed all of my expectations as a parent. The teachers, staff, and administrators are hands on and excellent. I had so many fears about this school when my son started kindergarten, we almost tried to have him switched somehow but I am so glad we decided to give it a try. Couldn't be happier! I have a bright child and he is so very well taken care of here. Wouldn't change a thing. Close Quote
