School Reviews

My child has been a student at Beautiful Saviour for three years. The school offers: 1) Affordable tuition (about $4K). 2) Small, blended classes (K-2nd grade, 3rd -5th grade, 6th -8th grade) – Children receive the personalized attention they need from their teacher and they also learn from each other. 3) Same teacher over a few years - Teacher and student are used to each other's teaching/learning style and what works best for them. 4) Christian education – Though we are not of the Lutheran denomination, we are Christians and regularly attend North Coast Church and North Coast Calvary Chapel. I know my values are being reinforced at school.
Highly recommended.

Beautiful Saviour provides a quality academic education from teachers who care. The school provides a warm and friendly Christian atmosphere. With small class sizes and one on one attention for children to excel at all levels. There is music, art and sports offered. For my son, this school has been an excellent choice. I would recommend to any parent interested in a good quality, christian education for their children.

Both of our children have attended Beautiful Savior since Kindergarten. They are both doing well as students and growing into great young Christian people. The school has done a great job of instilling in the kids a great work ethic, respect for others, and a true sense of belonging. The sports program is inclusive of tuition, there is tutoring and Hot Lunch available each Wednesday. Music lessons are available after school and both of our children play piano. The teachers and church are truly a committed group of people that have made a wonderful difference in the students lives.
