Wow. This school has done so much for my children academically & spiritually.

I HAVE noticed that there are a few issues here & there, but, really,

Great school, to say the least! This school is really amazing. The principal, Mrs. Lisa Fitzwater, is great at principal leadership. She enforces the rules, while being nice about it. She helps anyway she can. I think this school has a great curriculum as well. They're on ABEKA curriculum, which I have

As one of the other reviewers commented previously, the school rules can be slightly strict sometimes, but the pros definitely outweight the cons! I recommend this school to any parent that wants their child(ren) to get a very good Biblical education. This school not only works hard, but has many really fun events that even the parents can participate in.

What a great school! This is great for parents that want to put their child in a Christian school. It's Kindergarten-12th and they also have a special daycare called the Little Christian Life Academy Learning Center, which prepares your child for the actual 'school' part. In this school, some policies

You will be satisfied, more than likely. Read less

This school has a great program for learning I highly recomend the ABECA cirriculum. However this school is UPC Apostolic so they tend to be very strict with discipline and dress (Girls are only allowed to wear dresses even on no uniform days. They also push their religious standards and beliefs on others.
... Read more They will tell you that they do not do this but on issues like Holidays and 'Jesus Only' you child will be taught their beliefs without your approval. They also tend to favor the Apostolic Children and are harder on those who are not. It is very good for Pre K and Lower grades but I would not recomend High or Middle School grades. They also do not have any extra cirricular except for basketball. The teacher quality is also lacking they only hire parents of Apostolic children. Overall I would rate them a 3. Read less
