As far as PE only be twice a week you need to really find out what the public schools are doing before complaining. I think a plus is the children get a nice recess which they do need as well for exercise and socializing. The school encourages parental help and good ideas.

The education the children are getting is not up to par with even the local public school. The increasing tuition and added fees are causing many to rethink the 2009-2010.
