School Reviews

This school is a great place to learn responsibility and leadership. I came to this school as a very shy and struggling student. After spending time at this school, I learned many lessons in leadership, character building, knowledge, and skills. This school will push you to your limits, but you have to prepare for them, and adapt. The teachers are very understanding and very helpful if you step up and ask for it. Students give briefs, run Open Houses, and orienteer other cadets. This school is full of opportunities, but you have to be willing to join it.
