The classes are small and the teachers gladly meet with parents to help the children be placed academically and socially in the correct class. Please tell the staff of any concerns you have as they have been very helpful in resolving the concerns we had.

Older students are available for tutoring at a reasonable cost if needed.

As the other poster mentioned, this is a college prep school and most of the students are highly motivated, especially in the high school. This can prove challenging at time for some 'average' students.
