- **4/5** — A Fresh Start for My Son: I was hesitant to send my son to NEECA, but it's been a game-changer for him. The school's values of 'We Listen, We Care, We Succeed' really shine through in the way the staff support the students. I've seen a huge improvement in my son's academic progress and his overall well-being. *(Jun 2021)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: I was initially impressed with NEECA's facilities and programs, but I've found the communication from the school to be a bit hit-and-miss. My child is still settling in, but I've seen some great potential in the classes and activities they're offering. *(Oct 2020)*
