Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Giblyn is a wonderful school. I have children in Kindergarten and 2nd grade and they both bring home challenging but manageable school work. The Dual Language Program is an opportunity on par with a private school education - an amazing opportunity for children to learn a 2nd language at a young age. The school has many events (day and evening) welcoming parental involvement. The principal is extremely accesible and supportive and all of the teachers I have worked with go above and beyond for the children. Giblyn provides a friendly, nurturing environment that really develops the children's love of learning. We couldn't ask for better! Close Quote
