LFSF J'adore

George has been an LFSF parent for close to a decade. When he and his family made the LFSF choice, it wasn't an obvious one as his family lives in the East Bay. But with LFSF, they found "a school that not only broadens the mind but elevates the heart". Max (Gr 11) joins his dad in sharing their experience.
