"We used to love the school when it was just K-6. At the time, it was a great school with excellent teachers and a warm community feel. We were excited at the prospect of it becoming K-12. Unfortunately, the excellence of the lower school did not continue into the upper school and we could not recommend it in good conscience. This is very sad. We’ve had some wonderful teachers over the years, but sadly most are gone now."

"Used to be a great school years ago. However, they have gone down hill considerably. Class size is now in the high 20's, there is a huge teacher turnover, and the building is overfilled. They are growing too quickly for their own good. There is also an extreme lack of discipline-the kids are in chaos. I used to love this school--now I'm pulling my kids."

"Caring and talented teachers help my children reach their potential academically and socially. They not only learn academic content that exceeds state standards, they do it while becoming truly bilingual communicators. Under the IB curriculum, they also get instruction in important life skills: the importance of being balanced, principled, caring and open-minded."
