"Our children fell in love with Clark on their visit days. I heard, 'Mom, this is definitely the perfect school for me,' as soon as they got in the car. They marveled at all the "specials." They were engaged by the positive energy of the teachers and the other students were notably kind and inclusive. Siblings greeted each other in the hallways and even played together at recess. It felt like a warm and safe place, brimming with opportunities."
