    Wow, I just have to ask -
    Does anyone know anything about this group? Some things that made me wonder: I don't see where the teacher's bios are, I don't see what scores qualify a child to enroll, I don't see any accreditation.

    I wondered, too. It looks very much like a one-person startup, all run by this M Paiva about whom I couldn't out much except that he's written and self-published a book with no reviews that I could find. It may all be great, of course, but I'd definitely want a lot more information before handing over any money. Also, YMMV but I was very put off by the "we are secular but... Judaeo-Christian philosophy... we are BLESSED"!
