Highlands Elementary School

Our last Parent Satisfaction Survey indicated 95% of our parents were 95% satisfied with Amazing Grace. Though we offer an accelerated academic program, we intentionally maintain a sensitivity to the unique skills and capabilities of each learner. There is far more depth to Amazing Grace than simply academics. Our Core Values emphasize: Creativity, Humility, Resolve, Interdependence, Simplicity with the goal to bring about student and family Transformation. The 26 ethnic groups and 12 religious faith traditions represented in our student body fosters an appreciation of accepting differences while maintaining maturing relationships that display joy about belonging to our school family. We have high standards for our staff and students and most consistently meet and exceed those standards, especially of respect, hard work and common courtesy toward each other. Like any private school we make on-going assessments of whether or not a student is a good fit for our community and we will ask students, after a period of probation, who decide they will still not show respect to others, to find another school setting, that might be a better fit. Though no school is perfect we strive to deal with issues as soon as they arise and having an audio-video recording security system like ours, helps us to accomplish our goal of creating an emotionally safe, kind and respectful school environment.

My daughter actually attends Rainier Christian School, Kent View Elementary location. She transferred in this year and we have been thrilled with the change. Starting a new school in hard for any child and as parents , we of course wanted to make sure the school move was the best for her and that the new environment would be a place that not only would she be provided a great education but also a place she would feel welcomed, be encouraged to grow, make some new great friendships (and the list goes on). I have to say that I have been nothing but impressed and thankful this year. I could feel God's direction when we first made this decision to transfer here and I am so thankful for that. From the Principle and the teachers, the Administrative assistant, and the parents down to the school kids... I have really enjoyed this school and all that is has brought into my daughter's life and my family. It has really been a blessing. Thank you Rainier Christian. (Kent View)
