Now I just wish the School District of Waukesha would get their stuff together and make this school charter so more families could partake of this education. It's well worth the investment.

They're efficient, and since it's somewhat small, you get lots of personal attention. (and I've been at an institute with lots of people) you want it to be small. Trust me. They're also very open to feedback, and willing to help if you have a problem. Parking can be annoying, as they don't really have their own lot, but it's not terrible. You can usually get a spot.

The process to get into here or similar schools as a volunteer is a bit time consuming but don't let that stop you, it's really rewarding. The staff and teachers are just so wonderful it's pretty inspiring. Make sure you lock your car.
