What do our families say about Bethesda?
The small classes have a family-like feel and have allowed for some individualized instruction. And the teachers and staff are always responsive and care deeply for the students.
Brittnay K.
The principal and staff greet students each morning as they arrive, and they know each student by name. Our child looks forward to going to school and comes home happy each day.
