We  have  kids that attend Brandon. It's such a great school, quick problem solving that involve parents and kids.  Let's our kids come out of their shells and really express themselves and find their own way. They encourage and support our kids 100% and teach them to do their own problem solving for future use. We love the relax atmosphere and family feeling you get as soon as you walk through the office door you get greeted in such a warm welcoming way by both the wonderful ladies, hard to find now in days. Our kids LOVE NELLY the "NURSE". Academically our kids have excelled. The teachers have great teaching methods and take the time to figure out what works out for each individual child. Teacher's at Brandon don't just hear from the principal when something goes wrong but also to hear her praise them. Mrs. Meyer is involved in everything! The teachers get the support they need from the principal who by the way has an open door policy for both parents and students. GO BRANDON ISLANDER'S!!
