HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! it is AMAZING! Everyone the principal, teachers, therapists, custodians, librarian, all the staff in general greet the students and parents with smiles. The care and attention they give to my son by far exceed any of my expectations. Beyond my happiness with the school is my son''s, which is most important. He cannot wait to leave for school every morning. I am absolutely thrilled to have found an environment that is allowing our son to flourish and preparing him for his future education, while at that same time providing him with tools that will help him succeed in the future. I absolutely love the kids are academically challenged through their STEAM-based learning model and I also loved the Alphabeaths techniques they teach to kids for self-regulation.
