School Reviews
5 1/8/2013
EXCELLENT education. My grandson excelled due to the academic instruction, structure, loving guidance, and spiritual nourishment offered by the Branches'' staff. He attended preschool-2 yrs. through Pre-K. When starting Kindergarten in public school (due to financial reasons), he tested in the top of the group and was especially advanced in his reading skills.
