My close friend son was bullied and nothing was done about it after several incidents and then when tripped by this bully he fell and broke his arm in 2 places. He now has to have surgery and who knows if hell ever have full movement in his arm again. I thought WE as a whole had a no bully tolerance! SMH very disappointed

Left lifesprings thinking our son hadnt been challenged or been guided in the correct manner. Now enrolled at another private school and found quickly how far our 1st grader was behind. Had to pay for private tutoring all summer to keep him from being held back at his new school.
Fortunately he is a quick learner and is now excelling at his new school.
Consistently asked for updates at life spring and were told he was doing great and on course. Grades were never uploaded and even had teachers admit they didnt know how to upload grades. Always had a TA or someone constantly looking after

I know many kids that go to LifeSpring Academy, everyone of these kids elementary through high school age, are taught not just academics but personal responsibility, manners, kindness, and strong value systems!
