My son has attended LBV for a few years now and has grown so much. He asks everyday when I drop him off if he can show me a work and is so proud of what he's learning. Recently, I was watching him do a long chain (prep for math work) and a friend came to observe what he was doing. She said, "he knows everything." I jokingly said, "who do you think taught him all that?" Her response? "Miss Nima" - ha, but touche. Miss Nima is a great and patient teacher who really personalizes the learning. And what's more, that student said that without interrupting what my son was doing out of respect for him and the environment and she said her comment/compliment as in fact that - simply with respect and being impressed, wanting and watching to learn, not in competition whatsoever. It's a great place. Very supportive of a family's goals.
