Ms. Jan Johnsson, Director of Admissions
As Director of Admissions for the past four years and a parent of a currently enrolled student, I understand the importance placed upon the decisions with which parents are faced regarding their children’s education. These vital decisions should only be made after parents have a full understanding of each of the choices available to them.
