What people are saying

by a teacher
Sunday, July 21, 2013

Be very careful, especially if your child has special needs of any kind. Pin the administration down on anything they promise you, because they regularly tell parents what they want to hear whether it's true or not. Schools receive thousands of dollars for every student they bring in, and CSA wants every dollar they can get. The teachers I worked with were awesome, but the founders regularly ties their hands, usually for financial reasons or for appearances. The founders are VERY focused on appearance. Close Quote

Wonderful, wonderful school! The teachers work at your child's own academic level. So if your child has already mastered addition and subtraction, they will move your child up to multiplication if they feel he/she is ready. This way your child will always feel challenged and academically- stimulated. Close Quote
