This school has a great environment, and some very nice people.... It will give your child a solid, average education. Unfortunately, it's not equipped to really challenge advanced students and help them excel. There are programs in place such as pullout elementary TAG classes, and acceleration within the classroom in certain cases. But there are very few AP classes, very little in STEM education, and the school's focus really is more on spiritual life than academics. Close Quote
