Wonderful new school Close Quote

by a parent
Tuesday, September 14, 2021

This is truly a fantastic school. the emphasis on teaching academics with a focus on social and emotional learning and STEAM has been a perfect fit for us and my kids are thriving there. And this was our third school. My son went from struggling to catch up to grade level reading to reading well above grade level. We’ve loved every single teacher we’ve had. The entire staff is just excellent. Our principal is incredibly accessible, knows every child and family and really works hard to implement her vision of a progressive and nurturing school. As of this year we have a beautiful new school building on the Hunters Point waterfront. My kids love going to school and I feel so lucky to have them attend. Close Quote
