In my opinion, the staff at Northern Shores has been nothing short of amazing! I now have two children enrolled at NSES and they love it, just as much as I do. I have never experienced or witnessed unprofessional behavior or disorganized front office staff. Should you choose this school, know that y

The staff is unprofessional and mean spirited. One of the old ladies at the front office is either on the phone or shuffling through a small stack of papers with no aim.

This school is amazing. Our child just finished his first year at Sweethaven Christian Academy- 3rd grade- and he has learned so much. We have 3 other children who went through the public school system and this school beats public school hands down. Teachers and staff are so caring and make sure that everyone feels welcomed. They also make sure that the children are learning and will help any way they can to ensure the learning process. The curriculum is above the public school curriculum and the students are held to a higher standard, both academically and socially. We cannot wait for the next school year to start. Our child enjoys going to school now. We are so glad that we chose Sweethaven Christian Academy!!!
