My 6-year-old daughter is enrolled in the Prep Academy program, and she has had an incredible learning experience. The instructors are very professional and excellent with children. We appreciate everyone who came, especially Mary Katherine and Cord Scott.

Some of the friendliest, funniest, and most kind-hearted people I have ever met are in this group of incredible and talented women. They are deeply committed to their work, caring about their students, and supporting their aspirations. I adore "Matilda," and let's not even talk about Bruno:):)
