Classical School
KristineJ: This school covers all the basics at a very quick pace. My son is half-way through Kindergarten and reading fluently. We can't believe that he can already do basic addition and recognize fractions, even/odd numbers, symmetry, etc. Even though it is a rigorous program with homework every night, the school and teachers are loving, compassionate, and well-educated. Love him being there!
