Our son has developed not only strong core academic skills like reading and math, but also learned how to make friends, work within a group environment and genuinely develop a joy of learning through his instruction.”

“There's no reason (about liking the process). I'm just happy about it. I'm happy about math because it is fun and easy. But some problems could get out of hand and take too long to figure out. I try to think really hard.”

“I definitely recommend this school to everyone I know.”
LI L., Parent
