What People Say About Us

“Karafin is somewhere I honestly enjoy going, which is a blessing I never thought I’d get from a school.”
Lina C.
“Karafin is not predictable. You can walk into the school and think it well be a bad day, but you will be proven wrong. Karafin is a crazy, happy, fun place that you can call a home. It is full of different kinds of people, people you can call family.”
Alexandra M.
“Karafin is a unique and eclectic environment. The creative personalities of its students definitely contribute to the atmosphere Karafin exudes. Many stories have been told about Karafin, but they are hard to believe unless you have experienced.”
