Critical: Communication, Professionalism, Value They were very rude to my step father and had the ladies there had the nastiest attitudes. The greedy little owners will scam you for your money. you can go to a much cheaper place that's not in the city and pay much less and have a better chance of passing.

Our experience with the school was very positive and we recommend this school to other parents.
