Stephen Foster Elementary School

St. Pancratius Parish School has been a blessing and an answer to my prayers. My four children (spanning grades K-8) started attending this school year and were able to quickly make friends and adjust to a new school environment after having to make two previous transitions. I was very nervous about so many changes amid the pandemic climate but our worries were soon eased as we found a supportive and caring community at St. Pan. The administration and staff work hard at partnering with parents and creating clear channels of communication, which had been an issue I had at their previous school. As an educator myself, I appreciate the dedication of the staff to creating a safe, caring and educationally challenging learning environment that emphasizes Christian values. I would recommend St. Pancratius School to anyone I know!

Lakewood Christian Schools has been an incredible experience for my kids so far (prek through grade 3,) and we can’t wait for many years to come at this school! The teachers have been so caring, knowledgeable and effective. My kids are gaining wonderful foundational learning skills. The phonics curriculum in particular is fantastic, it teaches true phonics rules and skills and doesn’t rely heavily on sight words. The community at the school is a truly special and caring place. The school allows children ample time for enjoyment and exercise, they prioritize several recesses each day and PE several times each week. They train children in developing personal character, with a strong emphasis on community service and honoring our elders and service members. They foster healthy relationships among peers and encourage respectful interactions between students. They bring the love of Jesus and the GOOD NEWS of His salvation to the forefront in many aspects of the school. Through an amazing “sing scripture” music program, my kids have memorized some wonderfully encouraging and powerful scripture verses in a fun and easy way! LCS is truly a blessing to our entire family!
