School Reviews

We like the school and the idea is good for not having hundreds of students and I think the ratio of students to teachers is not as stated. I know for kindergarten there are around 11 students, one good teacher, and an assistant to her. They are a very caring staff and somewhat like family and very supportive. I could go on. I pray and hope they are at this site for a Very Long Time
