Kirov is a money-making academy that deserves no stars !!!

As a parent, you invest so much money into this school in hopes that your child can have a bright future ... only to have amateur individuals pretend like they have the best interest of your child at heart.

The head of the Resident Life department, Andrea Pfister, is the definition of unprofessional. She has disrespected students as well as her Resident Advisors on many occasions, which I have witnessed first hand while visiting the academy. It seems that she is unable to voice her thoughts without being rude, loud and belittling. Both students and staff have reported the inappropriate behavior to Pamela Cordova, the executive director, but I am most certain that there were no repercussions because Andrea continues to conduct herself in the same unethical manner.

The most worrisome part of it all is that these children are exposed to such an unhealthy environment. They can not be successful in this academy with such poor leadership.

I WILL NOT reconsider this academy for any child of mine.
