We are looking into Middle schools for our daughter. Currently she attends an elementary school that has almost 700 students so would like a small middle school experience that is nurturing, challenges her academic skills, sustains her confidence and ensures leadership skills. We visited Explorer West, Holy Rosary. Each have their pluses and minuses. We visited Hope Lutheran and were pleasantly surprised by it. They have a strong academic curriculum, it’s small, plus the tuition fees seem manageable, and its walking distance from our home. We are not a faith based family and we understand it is a Christian school. What do you think?? Your responses will be helpful. Thank you.
