Calder Road Elementary has been a wonderful school experience for both of my children. I have one child in GT and one who had special needs and both of their needs have been met in every way. The students are challenged, supported, and pushed to fulfill their personal potential whatever that may be. I could not be happier with my children's education! Close Quote
