School Reviews
5 5/9/2022
We have been attending Bookcliff for PreK through 5th grade for both of our children. We are so thankful for the discipleship and loving Biblical foundation they have both received. The school invests its whole heart into the students. Students have an overall loving and godly character with their peers and love to share God with others through the service opportunities they are provided. We appreciate the work ethic, manners, life skills, and Bible foundation that has been given to our children!

Our children have been at BCS for 4 years and we have seen them grow immensely during that time! The staff is amazing and truly cares about every student there. They teach a top notch curriculum and our children definitely ahead of their peers who attend public school. But that is not what we love most. Even more important than the outstanding education they're receiving, is the character development. The teachers genuinely care about each child's heart, and they are intentional about teaching them spiritually building their character and being God examples of all of their teachings. I would highly recommend this school to parents who want their children to be prepared for life academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially!
