Everyday, I am more and more impressed with the experience my boys are having at Tower. Not only are they receiving an excellent education in a small class environment where they are known, nurtured and encouraged to be their best selves, they also learn to be kind, inclusive, curious, and advocate for themselves—life long skills, setting them up for future success in a diverse and sometimes complicated world.
