Fabulous school!! Warm, supportive faculty, small class sizes, gorgeous 19 acre campus, co curriculars starting in nursery, recess twice a day for all ages, state of the art technology etc. 2 new wonderful additions this year are the Sustainability Educator and the Writing Skills Educator. Our two boys could not be any happier or more engaged in their learning! It has been a great experience for them!
