My son is in kindergarten there and "loves it better than Mario Bros.!" They've done a great job getting him to want to read to the point that we can't stop him. Also he was writing even before he was reading using phonetics. They challenge him. Lunches are very good and varied. The playground is excellent as are the rest of the facilities.

One thing to note is this school is only through 2nd grade. It merges with Porter's Point at Mallet's Bay in 3rd grade. Close Quote
