It is amazing that our children are growing up in technologically-driven, fast-paced times. They have access to the whole world and opportunities that were beyond our imagination just a few years ago. Education is no different. There is an abundance of schools across the providing different types of curricula, pedagogy, teaching tools, etc.

Schools may offer all or any of these programs.
