Very experienced teachers, professional staff, and supportive teaching assistants in a small classroom setting are what you will find here. The student support is unheard of, and their mission to help students succeed while benefitting the community is inspiring. I’ve compared different schools in CA and Whitewater is by far the best for people wanting to continue their education and learning. It’s one of the gems of Silicon Valley that is up and coming.
