Erna Krouch Preschool is a gift to families. The teachers and staff, some of whom have been with the school 30+ years, genuinely care about each and every student. I’m continually touched by their sincere investment in my son’s well- being. Jameson is excited to go to school every day. He is learning, he is happy, he is thriving. We are so thankful for EKP!

Harding Fine Arts is the best educational experience for those looking for qualified,
committed, dedicated and experienced educators and staff. The balance of quality core curriculum with the excellent selection of art-based electives equals a top-notch foundation for the high school student interested in a liberal arts college degree. I would recommend this school even to those seeking a standard high school experience because of its wide variety of electives, student activities and smaller class sizes. An A++ in my grade book.
