05In their words
What ASASA parents say
She has learned so much specially English, since we speak to her in Spanish at home. She has learned to be more independent, dressing herself and putting on her own shoes. She now knows how to write her name, her alphabet as well as her numbers. Everyday she is excited to go to school so that makes me happy.
Marian KnightASASA parent 4 kids from my family at different times went to Asasa Academy. I would like to recommend this school to parents who really want their kids to learn discipline, respect for others and to achieve high scores in studies.
Pauline BrettASASA parent I have compared class sizes and the level of education which made my decision to attend Asasa Acedamy an easy one. Class sizes are small with about 12 kids per teacher. The teachers have been very easy to communicate with where we worked together.
