My son is currently attending Balmoral and was very shy and was having trouble speaking. Now my son loves school and loves telling me about his day and what he has learned. I couldn't of asked for a better kindergarten teacher.

The teachers are very involved. Parent/teacher conferences were routine, and our teacher was always willing to talk or meet if we were concerned about anything.

There was homework every day. The whole week was sent home on Monda,, which was great for accommodation extracurricular activities without hindering school.

Best school ever. BRE is a diamond in the rough, here. The level of education here far exceeds the one we received while attending the best public school system in AL. The teachers and administrators were all fabulous. All volunteers undergo background checks.
