Academically a good school but very poor athletically. If your children excel in sports this is not the school for you. They have no qualified coaches on their staff.

Knollwood Daycare, Elementary and Middle School are excellent! The teachers and administrators really care not only about the student's academic growth, but also their social, emotional, moral and especially spiritual growth.

I am extremely pleased with Knollwood Christian. The teachers are highly qualified as well as very loving. The academics are well above anything the public schools have to offer and the overall environment is highly conducive to the children's overall success; academically, socially, physically and spiritually.

The elementary school curriculum includes music, Spanish, art, chapel, library and organized P.E. The middle school offers a well rounded sports program as well as an excellent curriculum. The PTF (parent/teacher fellowship) works hard to help the school and parent involvement is encouraged and fostered. You can't find a better elementary / middle school in Mobile! Read less

I think Knollwood is the best school. I've never seen a school with so many positives. Mrs. Guy is the most amazing principal, she knows the names of all the students and is so caring and understanding. The teachers are absolutely the best, especially Ms. Lacey and Mr. Bray. They really challenged
