"A good school, but some challenges"

We had a positive experience at Belmont, but there were some challenges along the way. The school's relational practice approach is interesting, and the staff are committed to their values. However, we found the communication with teachers and the school administration to be inconsistent at times. Overall, it was a good experience, but we moved on to another school that better suited our child's needs.
