We have three kids currently enrolled and have lived here 3 years now. We love the teaching and support staff. Also the sports teams and coaches are not just teaching the sport but teamwork and sportsmanship. The clubs offered are great and the drama and music programs are awesome too. 10/10 would recommend this school
