PARENT TESTIMONIALS
“Small classes allow teachers to work with each child’s strengths and weaknesses, letting them blossom both academically and socially.”
Erin L.
“Commitment to the arts at SRS doesn’t mean that students can’t be committed to other interests, like athletics or robotics and math team–the same kids who excel in those areas are often the ones singing, dancing, and acting.”

“After SRS, my children’s transition to high school was very smooth because of their preparedness to study independently, ability to exhibit strong study skills, and confidence to meet academic challenges.”
Chris S.
