This school has a great environment, and some very nice people.... It will give your child a solid, average education. Unfortunately, it's not equipped to really challenge advanced students and help them excel. There are programs in place such as pullout elementary TAG classes, and acceleration within the classroom in certain cases. But there are very few AP classes, very little in STEM education, and the school's focus really is more on spiritual life than academics. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
