It was highly recommended by a few friends and families we knew.
The curriculum, education, teaching staff and support were some of the BEST we had EVER encountered outside of homeschooling.
For once we felt my child did not enter a school after homeschooling where she did not slide backwards academically, emotionally and personality wise after having been in school!
Strengths besides the curriculum were the stressing of strong personal and moral skills. IE showing consideration for others and positive teamwork skills!
I wish we could take Mrs. Boos with us everywhere we went. My daughter still talks about this school and teacher three years after our adventures in Michigan and I agree!
And we are still looking for a school that comes close.
