John Wood Elementary School

My kids, coming from Hobart public schools, have dramatically increased their love and readiness for learning at school here. Their confidence boomed, bullying is non existent, they receive top notch grades, they are loving school. It’s nice to foster a relationship with a school my children aren’t dreading going to. What a change from Hobart public schools! This school really cares about your kids and their futures.

My son has gone here for two years and I could not have asked for a better environment for him to learn. He is learning things that prepare him well in advance for the next school year. My eldest children have gone to public schools in Valparaiso and by comparison the curriculum is ahead of the curve. While they do not compare in the computer education needed in today's society they are still a well rounded school. The school is no longer at Hobart Baptist and is now Abundant Life Christian Academy at New Hope Baptist in Hobart. The leadership put into question was not due to the principal but the deacon board and pastor at HBC by not allowing the school proper funding to operate. I would agree that some of the curriculum at public schools, paticularly science and P.E, but this is a small Christian school with limited funds and small class sizes. It is an ideal alternative to what is considered a good education in our public schools today. I would be more concerned bring my eldest children here for fear they would have a harder time keeping up with this curriculum.
