This is my son's first year in this school. Teachers in this school are caring and focused on providing a top-notch education in a Christian environment. He has thrived from the "whatever it takes to help a student succeed" attitude of the teachers and other staff at the school. It will truly be a place where he can grow and learn things that he might not have learned in a public school.
