My son joined the school as a boarding freshman from China. It is a small school where each kid get more attention from faculties in both educational guidance and living care. Three trips per week for kids to access different areas of great LA and shopping, food, etc. A rarely beautiful campus with great scenes and animals. Happy valley happy school!
