He has been suspended and kick out of day and overnight camps and schools. My son needs structure and stability to get him going and we haven't heard one bad remark from anyone. Matthias was our go to guy that came out all the way from Missouri to California to interview my son to make sure he wanted to go and be there. I think he gets into trouble with students that don't wanna be at school or it's not very structured but this is. They have a beautiful campus and my son got top fire leader award. I'm like wow. We applaud and have the highest respect for this school that we may consider have him attending junior and senior year to help him get in good at West Point Service Academy (his dream college) as expensive as it is to send, it may very well be worth it. Thank you for having our son!

When I asked the receptionist, she said it was no problem and I was back sitting in a chair within 10 minutes of asking to get a hair cut. My hairstylist, Lydia, was amazing. I wanted to go from long hair (midway down my back) to a short pixie cut. I was worried that she might not want to do it because it was such a dramatic haircut, but when I mentioned it to Lydia, she said she would love to try that. She was excited to give the haircut a try, but also quick to ask from help from an instructor when she didn't know what to do, which I appreciated. Overall, I loved my hair cut and my experience there. The people were friendly and the place was cozy. I would highly recommend!

Not only is she a wonderful swim teacher she has a wonderful way with children, firm and she never needs to raise her voice to get him to listen. He cried all through the first lesson and now after 6 lessons he is smiling through them. I've never seen him focus this well on anyone. I can't speak to group lessons, but I have watched another lesson with 3 children and she was great with them also. Highly recommended.

The benefits of the lessons are not just related to his ability to swim. His confidence has grown, his attitude has improved and his behavior is better in school. If he misses a lesson for some reason it is noticeable in school and out.

So we have a bit of a family legacy here brewing. Our immediate family visited last week for graduation and I was impressed by the grounds of the school. We received a tour of the main part of campus with the Columns, Student Center, Housing, and bookstore/giftshop as well as finance building. It's lovely and well-maintained. We came back and ran a 5k around the campus and saw much more the following day on our own and the architecture and buildings are very pretty. The arena and stadium were also impressive and the feedback we've gotten from our two students is that the environment here is a true college campus life and they absolutely wouldn't change their school for anything. That's all you can hope for as a parent!

Because his parents don't agree with her diagnosis, which she took upon herself to forward to CPS on his third day without our consent, he is no longer welcome at the school. If you want a preschool where they think they know better than the parents and it's Ms. Jackie's way or the highway then sign up for Down to Earth preschool. Personally, I think it is appalling that they would expel a child from school because they think he has a learning disability.

We stopped by the student center to grab some mizzou apparel and it was jam-packed in there with fellow shoppers! The store is great (just like I remembered it!). Very big, spacious, and clean!

It has Truman the Tiger on it and it's one of his new favorites! The checkout line was really long but I could not believe how quickly it went! The staff was hustling and got us through super quickly. Love this student center, just wish it was a little more affordable!

When you walk in on the side entrance, there is a coffee shop, quick store, clothing store, and a restaurant. Then there is an open area with multiple places to dine, grab a quick bite, or chill. My favorite part of this place were the fire places with comfy chairs around them. It was a popular spot! Plenty of seating for students, family, visitors, and staff. I do not even go to this school but could find myself going here to chill and study my own stuff If I was in the area. I did not explore the downstairs but It looked like a continuation of the shop. The shop was also so cute and had adorable missou clothing!!! I love how clean and inviting this student center is compared to other student centers I have visited.
