My grand daughter absolutely loves Destiny schools. She is excelling in all areas due to the support of her teacher Ms. Tanner in the 6th grade. This school is Awesome with the support that they give and none of the students fails. I cannot speak for anyone but I can say that my grand daughter loves school again, making new friends, and is more happy. :)

Great school. I learned a lot, waiting to enroll my kids there cause I believe they set a good foundation for me, with that I believe they'll do greater works for my kids. Great staff and very real people.
