Please tell us anything else you think prospective parents and students should know about this school. Thanks for your contribution!
The elementary school has gone through a lot of change in recent years. We arrived when they were in the midst of transitioning to the PYP program. We have been in the middle of a lot of those growing pains. It's possible the school will find its way now that the PYP is approved but I am not convinced as the teacher quality is highly variable. We had one excellent teacher and 2 so-so teachers. Same with the assistants. My child has had some growth based on MAP testing but not as projected. The school focuses a lot on the soft skills of life. This is good and often overlooked in some schools. But the hard skills have taken a backseat to the PYP program so be prepared to supplement at home if your child isn't a self-learner. The school is a well-established expensive private school but it still kind of runs like it's only been around a few years. But it is a fun happy place for elementary kids. - Oct 2019
Just know that academic rigor is not a priority. Or any sort of rigor for that matter. Just expect lots of flash and promises and poor execution. If your kid is a 95 percentile kid when they enroll, hopefully they'll be a 95 percentile kid when they leave. Academically, this school isn't going to move the needle. - Mar 2017
