Wonderful school! My kids are happy and learning in a safe, nurturing environment. The kids are encouraged to be kind and bullying is not tolerated. The curriculum is similar to public school, but faith studies is added and chapel is once a week. The model for behavior is Christ and social service is emphasized.
