Or laughs and giggles. If u want to send your child here get ready for the amount of money you will be paying to the school.

They offer I-ready as well as regular tutoring for kids during and after school. They offer Spanish. The religion aspect is a plus as well.

I wish that more parents were active in the School and more proactive with their kids learning as we need to work together with the Teachers to ensure our children's overall success. I gave it 4 stars as I wish they had more programs..
