| Small number of kids with individual attention gives them the opportunity to excel quickly as beginners. | Too much bickering & butting in- nothing runs smoothly | Perfect for the first couple of years- the kids are babied & looked after very well. They learn a lot education wise in comparison to other schools education & want to learn but lack social skills & team work. They are big on computer knowledge but besides basic information which they learn exceptionally well there is no way for them to excell & move up. Once the infants section is mastered- they get bored. | ||

| This would be a comfortable school for any local to be part of as it consists of very few different families with most related to each other some way or another. | Unless you marry a local your kids dont count as local & become somehow - the kids become very insignificant. I think the bored parents use the school to show off how wonderful they are & use the kids as an avenue to do so. I often wonder - if they already know everything what do they need school for? | The principal is more concerned with what other people think than with the way things really are & quite often with all the do-gooders wanting things done their way the children are not the priority. Everything looks cute from the outside & if it were not so much of a get together for bored parents, the teachers might have a chance at letting the kids experiance the wealth of knowledge they have to share. | ||

| The teachers seem committed | Their commitment to the children is not as important as their commitment to 'looking good' for the parents. | If the parents would allow the teacher to do their job instead of making them be a mediator for the P & C the kids would be able to learn something. | ||
