What people are saying

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

My grandson is a very happy kindergartener at the Beethoven. It wasn't our first choice school, but when my daughter was contacted about a month and a half into the school year by BPS to say she'd come up on the first choice list, she turned it down. Even after a month we knew what a treasure we had in the Beethoven, and as the school year ends, that choice has proven to be perfect. Close Quote
