My child has attended this school for 4 years. I am very disappointed with this school for the way they handle peer pressure and allowing students to bully and ostracize children who do not fit their perceived mold. This school did absolutely nothing to punish children who continued to bully and ostracize.

They are a far cry from the christian role model the school purports to utilize. If you are looking to get a christian environment for your child this is NOT it...best put your money elsewhere...no foreign language...no after school enrichment. Your child will be behind in language if you decide to go into a public school later on... Read less

I used to work at the school. The students are good but the school does not offer much of a variety of academics or extra curricular activities and if your child wants to do a sport its either basketball or volleyball or nothing. Not a good school.
