  • After researching several private, parochial and public schools in the area we chose Alcott.  Our choice was based on the positive leadership style of the principal, the strength of the faculty and the school's proven test results.

  • An Alcott education is more like what I would expect from a private school-smaller class sizes, Chinese language instruction and educating the students about healthy eating and healthy lifestyles.  Alcott is way ahead of the times!
