Arts Based Elementary School
We adore The Arts Based School. I have two kids at ABS and I have watched both of my children blossom emotionally and academically in this wonderful, unique and innovative learning environment. The teachers are amazing, and you couldn't ask for a more engaged, capable or caring principal and staff. There is a true sense of community among ABS families as well that makes it such a special place. My advice to anyone who is wanting something more for their child than teaching to the test, being stressed about unending, pointless homework or anxiety over being timed in math drills is to TAKE A TOUR at ABS (offered each Thursday morning - call for an appt.). You really will be amazed at their curriculum and what this school offers its students!
