SCH was so very welcoming to my son. From the moment he walked into the building, the staff and students welcomed him with open arms. We also were impressed with the academics, the CEL classes which promote entrepreneurship, and the opportunities. The staff is well-rounded, thoughtful in their approach, helpful and communicative.
