We were fortunate to find OWS when our son was entering Kindergarten. He continued at OWS through middle school. Our son agrees that it was an exceptional experience and set the trajectory for excellent performance in high school. The project / time management skills learned at OWS continue to pay huge dividends and will likely do so for life. We would not hesitate to recommend OWS. That said, if you are looking for a classic military style drilling type institution, this is definitely not that.
