This school was a waste of our time and money! My children are no better off for having gone to LCBS. The academic potential is huge, however without love, compassion, spiritual leadership I am left feeling empty. I would like to see more resources for the tuition, to charge a student $.25 to use

A wonderful school! My daughter attended first grade here and she loved it. Her teacher, Ms. Hird, was supportive and patient with my daugher and really communicated with us on her strengths, weaknessses, etc. They really focus on academics and hold the children accountable for their own actions at

Abeka and Saxon are just a couple of the great academic programs used by the school. Music, sports, library, bible and art are all part of each week in my daughters class. For parent involvment there are plenty of educational field trips, fundraisers, class parties, and each room has a 'room parent'. They even have a before and after school program. For the money, you can't get a better school! Read less
