I only gave 1 Star because 0 isn't an option! Their curriculum is lacking, they do not keep track of their students; the leadership is lacking and will not respond to your questions; they do not keep parents updated as to how they're doing academically or emotionally Gardening and hiking is fun but we're so behind in core subjects... was it worth it?

I can't imagine going anywhere else. The quality of education is great -- my child has really grown academically here. The other thing I love is the gardening program, the regular hikes, P.E., music, art and lots of outdoor time. They even have chickens. They teach the whole child -- it is a very holistic program -- social skills is very important and a big part of their curriculum. I can't say enough about this school -- the parent involvement is outstanding.
