School Reviews

We loved having our daughter attend Alpine Academy of Rockford. The school is in a nice quiet neighborhood, they have a gated playground area.. I always felt comfortable with the teachers and enjoyed the family atmosphere. Our daughter attended preschool - 6th grade and recieved an excellent education. It was the best start we could have given her. tuition was reasonable compared to other Christian Schools.
