"It's been really beneficial for our children to be at a culturally diverse school where everybody is different. Because everybody's different, nobody's different.

"Parents can be as involved as they want to be in the school, from helping out in the library, helping with reading classes. Helping out in big ways or small ways, it's all appreciated."

(Rita McKinnon, parent)

"I'd recommend Tempe to other parents mainly because of the lovely community feeling that's here, the quality education programsand the grounds. It's a safe environment."
