In My Own Words

Right now, my biggest challenge is balancing my oldest son's schooling (he goes to school part-time and will start 3rd grade in the Fall), and taking care of our 1 year-old twins. There's just so much to do and so little time. My husband and I are very grateful for the special enrichment program offered by the Mesa Public School system we found for our son. He has ADHD and the regular school system schedule with its 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, plus homework, did not suit him at all. Add to this the birth of our young twins which made full-time homeschooling practically impossible, and you will understand how this school was a godsend for us. We have the best of both worlds.
