“As a parent of children who attended this school, I must commend them for accommodating children and their individual learning styles. I had two very different children and thanks to the teachers here, each one has been successful in everything they have set out to do. I did not have to fight for help with my individualized learner nor did I have to fight to challenge my other child.”
