00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.500
originally

00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:05.000
it was the curriculum and the

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.500
small classes and there still an extra

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.000
person there I know all the teachers I know all the

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.500
staff here

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.000
I immediately saw the 

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.500
family atmosphere and the closeness

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.000
of the students and the staff

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.000
there's so much diversity on

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.500
so many different levels that a child

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.000
no matter what their background

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500
there is something for them there

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.000
I can't come home and talk

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.500
about stuff every day and now that a little ones

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.000
there she does as well and

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500
they miss the bus or they miss school they get upset like

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000
this is what's happening this is always something going on

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500
for them

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000
 community and being part of a community and that's so valuable

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500
I don't feel like that's always in school and it's definitely

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000
something I see it RACS

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.500
RACS was

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
like a home away from home for my son they fit

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500
our philosophy it it honed in on

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000
his talents on his

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
on his love of art on

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
just education in general and just

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
pushing the drive that they give their students

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
that's what I loved

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
it is such a welcoming environment

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
it really is just very

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
good for kids

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
just warms

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
my heart and just lets me know like we're doing a good job

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
here at RACS and it shows there

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500
are families and how they treat

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.000
us

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500
Our mission is to prepare the whole

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.500
