“Third Schools is far more than just a school. It is a diverse community of students, parents, and teachers where parents are provided a real choice in educating their kids. Every child/student is unique and, as such, so too is when, where, and how they should learn, develop, and grow. All our children/students are provided with personalized learning. Our staff have the compassion, instructional mastery, and enthusiasm to give our students access to a world class education. It is inspiring to see our students’ hard work and progress on a daily basis,” explains Sunil.
