"A Great Education, but Room for Improvement"

My daughter attended The Belvedere Academy for two years before moving to a different school. While she received a great education and made many friends, I felt that the school could have done more to support her in certain areas, such as maths. However, the music program was excellent and she loved being part of the school choir.
