There are so many after school activities and engaging classroom settings that set it apart from the rest of the schools. Though the workload can be overwhelming for a student in elementary or middle school, it is so beneficial when it comes to transitioning to high school. I would absolutely choose this school again. The classes are small and the teachers really care for the students and their education.

Each of the teachers I had over the course of nine years were excellent. I had such a strong and culturally-based education thanks to the International Baccalaureate (IB) program that transitioning into high school was a breeze. Ms. Kinney is by far one of the best, if not the best teacher I've ever had. She is so thorough in her lessons and cares so much about every student.
Though I only stayed after school for the International Studies program, the activities available for students were of a wide variety, from Flamenco lessons to soccer.
