My daughter has a friend at LIPA I will see if I can get contact info for you and message you. From what I have heard and seen she absolutely loves it there and has had lots of opportunities both in and out of class… Her entire group gets along so there have been no issues there… She has come home only at Christmas and part of summer each year. She was an extremely independent child so I think she likely would have thrived anywhere! Hopefully someone with direct information can help.
