e. smith: I am so sad to leave S.C.- we have moved and sadly have to transfer schools. The special ed program at S.C. is the best. My little girl has excelled in many subjects!
Standard curriculum is great as well my little boy is an avid reader and near perfect speller!
I feel like my children are safe and nourished at S.C.- I pray I can find a school in El Cajon that suits our special needs (and our not so special ones).
