What parents say
I filled out an application form. I requested a tour. I sent an email. I called. I never got a replay to any of these. The fact that there is not even a hit of acknowledgement for interested new families is a big red flag for me.
Anna Gonzalez · 1/5 on Google · a year agoI went here when it was Archway, many years ago. Sad to see Archway has been closed. But this is a magical site to be a child. It is a place which needs the play and vision of children. I'm happy a school continues here, regardless, under the same little arch.
