School Reviews

I have found memories of Bethel SDA, as a child. The education was rigorous, the teachers stern and the vegetarian food had to grow on me. Nonetheless, I arrived from a public school, and quickly noticed that the students were bright and prepared, due to the care from the teachers and administrators. However, it's only in retrospect that I see the school's value added experiences which I wouldn't trade for the world.
