The Busy Room
-
with an experienced educator focused on meeting your learning needs.




I was fortunate enough to spend 13 years at this exceptional school. I was my to my great privilege, and now yours.
Because as teacher, coordinator and
Head of School
I had the opportunity to collaborate with a range of therapists and specialist teachers who taught me so much. I look forward to sharing the knowledge and skills I've gained.
Thank you AIS!
