“The support my daughter receives within her classroom is tremendous. I see the passion and drive in all of my daughter’s teachers & mentors to assist in every student excelling to their full potential, not just my daughter. She is happy, engaged, more focused and having fun with her learning at SCSA. The physical component SCSA offers is a must for my daughter to assist with her ADHD. It helps to balance her busy school, training, playing, social and work commitments. The opportunities at SCSA enhance the student’s success in life. My daughter is 100% happy with the transition from her older school to SCSA and I have seen her blossom in a short term. We are so grateful and excited for the future to keep excelling within the SCSA environment. Thank you all.”
