It's a small community, and the PTA is a good place to meet other parents, and their are many concerts, programs where you see others at the school. Lots of opportunity for parent involvement.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
It is wonderful. I was at first skeptical, due to the older appearance of the campus, and some of the leeriness of admissions staff, but I was so surprised. The upper school has a great counseling program for academics, issues, and college counseling. My daughter has a health problem, and the staff and teachers have been unbelievably wonderful in helping us through a rough time!
