We loved this school along with the teachers when our daughter was in preschool. There are still some things we like such as the security and the school itself but overall the school lacks diversity and the non asian children begin to feel like outsiders after first grade. Also, to me it seems like the loving and nuturing environment displayed in the preschool program changed immediately in first grade. I do not feel it is good for the children to be pushed so hard in the lower grades and also think that Chinese should be optional and not mandatory in the academics program. This school really needs more diversity overall and the children outside of preschool should not be treated like they are at a military academy. It is not always productive to force too much academics on children too quickly as it inhibits their growth and creativity.
My daughter attended the Preschool program at Lawton site. She has learnt so much not only in acadmic values but also her acknowledement of morale and being a quality individual. The teachers are well trained and sincerely care for the children. I have no worries and have peace of mind seeing her steady progress. With no Chinese language background, she managed to speak fluently, more advance in reading, writing, math than other kids at the same age. It would be my number one choice if I have more kids. Highly recommended.
The prior principle, brought in to reform and diversify the school, has left. With him, left the innovations, stability and new breath needed in the school. There is lack of school programs and a need for injection of new ideas. There is a question of financial dedication by the school management for their lack of financial committment to put forth moneys for qualify trainers for their teachers and assistants. Though the committment is their, the infrastructure and the knowledge base needs serious improvements.
