I have used this provider for more than 6 months

It doesn't matter how the school teaches if you can't keep your kids safe from bullying. Allowing kids to be bullied just because the kid doing the bullying is the son of the principle is wrong. My family left the school because of this and there are others leaving the school because of the principle. The Jewish people deserve a better school, one where the kids are safe and the parents don't have to worry about a principle that cares more on not disciplining her own son over the goodness of the whole school. Not only did my family leave the school they left the community. They will miss the community as well as the community miss them.
