Not go there. Waste of time

Culture of program:

Very heavily religious and fostered homeschool teachings

Other comments:

Intensive was not intense. They held a chiropractor seminar and also found someone to come in to sell makeup and spa kits. Teaching was ok. The students there were not very advance so the teaching was hard to learn from bc wide range of skills within one class. Not a good intensive. More like a camp atmosphere.
