With a child there who is a A student, if you send your child there, be prepared for tests and fund raising. I do not think the staff care as long as you send in a check. Many of the students are VERY misbehaving and the staff looks the other way as long as they keep paying. For them to have Christian

This is my first year at Eden and I am very impressed by the administration, teachers, academics and Christian values. All exceed expectations. My child is in first grade and the work she does is at a 2 or 3rd grade level. This has been the best experience I have had.

Terrific school academically, but a little heavy handed when it comes to other areas. The teachers genuinely care for the students and do provide a positive experience for the children. The administration leaves something to be desired in my opinion. They are not exactly forthright and clearly

The student / teacher ration is nowhere near the level indicated by this website. My children experience more like a 22 to 1, not a 9 to 1. They will tell you what your children can and cannot eat, wear, and say. Also, be prepared to fundraise, fundraise, fundraise! Not a week goes by when they do not solicit funds in some manner, either by selling items or flat out asking for donations. Read less

I am a junior at the upper school. I am on my 13th year at Eden. I really love it! Yes, we could start more extracirriculars, but we are small and growing.

Not only were the academics substandard, we found this school not to have a Christian environment as we anticipated. The cliques are a major problem. The older students (Jr. and what Sr. high they have) present themselves to be more worldly in their values than we ever anticipated. Sad to say, but

From what the administration tells you, the students are testing 3 to 4 grade levels above their actual grade, I am not sure how to verify that fact.

My child is in her third year at Eden. Eden is very close knit like one big family. I could see the difference immediately compared to the public schools in how the kids conduct themselves.

It just reconfirms the values that my child learns at home and church. I get all this at a fraction of the price that some of those other prestigious private schools would cost. Oh and did I mention..the school campuses are beautiful.I did my homework and I would invite any other interested parent in doing the same. Read less
