Andres F: My daughter loves this school. It has wonderful and well prepared teachers, excellent resources and administration. Small class sizes enable more individualized attention (15 students per class approx).This school operates more like a private school. All children have to wear uniform. They are very strict and organized. My daughter is very fortunate to have Ms. Halprin as a teacher.
