I also agree that it is a great school. I was once a student there. Now i teach there :D ... It is the perfect place if you are looking for a friendly family environment and a school environment combined ... And currently, there are over 150 students enrolled ...

It is a very good school. it now has prek-8th!! it is true that they only have a few students. but that in my opinion is good, because now the teachers could focus on each students and their weaknesses. :) its a very great school :) ***

I love this school as it is like a family that everyone knows everyone and the older students take care of the younger one. Most of the students are very well behave and have a very good manner. The teachers and administrative staff are very responsible and they take action quick. My daughter loves it since her classmate are much more helpful and friendly than her old classmates in the public school.
Academically, it is a traditional, follow straight through the curriculum type of school. SOmetimes, I find it a bit of lacking spontaneous to the bigger environment/ pictures of the world. Be also prepare that parents involvement in the student's homework is a must. Compare to the public school in the lower grade, student will spend average on homework about 1-1.5 hours a day. Of course, it also depends on your child. The good news is students in this school are doing above average when compare to the public school (my opinion and observation when I compare the experiences my daughter was in the public school) Overall, we are very happy about the school.
The only negative side I see is they do not have gym session in the lower grade. Plus, it is an Islamic school, girls from third grade on have to wear hijab, long sleeves and long pants. I have nothing to against that but it is so intolerable during the summer time. THe students (girls) choose to stay in the classroom with AC on rather than going out to the playground. I think they should really do something about that, like improving the material of the school uniform in the summer, (make their own uniform instead of ordering from outside, maybe) make it more breathable and easy for the little one to stretch.
