" I LOVE the teacher-student ratio. The kids are enjoying so much adult attention. They feel special that someone is taking time to sit with them and teach them. What a message to send to a child who is just beginning to wonder what the world holds for him/her in the future. When studies look at adults who achieve success from a difficult childhood background, the thing they find in common is that SOMEBODY in their lives believed in them, mentored them, and encouraged them to keep learning.
