Erskine Elementary School

Great school with excellent teachers who really care

This is a school where every teacher and staff member knows every student by name, and cares about every single one. Students are taught responsibility, character and integrity from kindergarten up, and the entire school celebrates when a new class has First Communion or a new class "graduates" and moves on to middle school, It feels more like a family of learners than a school. All families have their occasional differences or difficult moments, but they are handled efficiently with love and strong values. I am constantly amazed by the level of learning my students share at home, and impressed by the teachers holding them accountable for their learning and their actions. They are taught from the beginning to care for others and help each other. The world will be a better place for what these kids are learning. Fundraisers help provide things like new technology, and the kids get into it themselves with rewards like "sliming" the principal or taping him to a wall as a reward for reaching their goals. The principal knows every kid and every kid loves him. Couldn't ask for a better school environment.

What I love most about Cedar Valley Christian is the family feel. The community at this school is our second family. I feel safe entrusting my children to the staff and my children love their school. They are being challenged, but also nurtured with a Christ-centered education. As a parent, I feel comfortable talking with teachers and staff about my child's needs and I know they care about my kids. There have been many times I have been given great advice from the staff regarding my children, and I have seen them being cared for and prayed for by the office staff. There is no school like Cedar Valley!
