School Reviews
4 8/25/2023
We have been at ESA for a few years and couldn't be happier with our experience. The administration, teachers, and support staff are all wonderful and create a safe and inviting learning environment for the kids. Our child has enjoyed their time at the school so far and educationally has exceeded our expectations. We enjoy the small class sizes, the project-based learning, and the great communication we receive from the teachers. We feel very lucky our child gets to attend such a great school.
