“The enrichment programs add a whole new dimension to learning. Our son loved exploring the rainforest in a “rainforest truck” parked at the school. And our family recently was treated to an after dinner reenactment of an Einstein assembly and the theory of relativity through the eyes of a 6-year-old.”
— Kevin and Kelly Murray, parents of three sons
