I highly recommend this school to any parent who wants thier child (ren) to get a great education and learn more spritually, for the bible says to train up a child in the way they should go and when they grow old they shall not depart.

This school is great. The atmosphere is Christian and nurturing and the kids all seem content and well adjusted. The teachers come across as being genuinely caring, down to earth, but very professional. There are a lot of worthwhile extracurricular activities. The school is totally about giving top
... Read more quality Christian education. Academically, the goal is for all the kids to work at least a grade above their actual grade - and they are indeed meeting/surpassing that goal. The kids put on well rehearsed productions on a regular basis for their Chappel Programs and holidays, which you wouldn't want to miss. This school is not only affordable but they also have class size cutoffs - so there's no overcrowding. They offer affordable before & after care with teachers/aides there to offer homework assistance and the kids can purchase snacks. I can't say enough about this school - it's just too wonderful. Thanks! Read less
