"Opening our school has been the adventure of a lifetime, and the most rewarding aspect is the community of children, staff, and families that has developed so organically. We believe in and strive for exemplary communication, academic excellence, and fostering the purest of environments," reports Mr. Bill. Ms. Jodi & Mr. Bill are parents to three 20-somethings, and they are celebrating 27 years of marriage.
