I loved Hulstrom from the very moment we met the first teacher during back to school night. It was immediately apparent that the curriculum was going to challenge my kids and push them to meet their greatest potential. Just as importantly however, the teachers conveyed the most genuine love and caring for their students. In fact one of them actually got teary as she spoke about the teaching profession and what her students had meant to her over the years. We looked no further… I knew Hulstrom was the community for us!
