School Reviews

Excellent school. Both of my kids love it here.
5 8/1/2015
I never grew up in a private school but after the first year I enrolled my kids at Christian Academy, I saw such impact that the school had on them that I would never enroll them anywhere else. Having interacted with the teachers and with the other parents in depth, it is more than just an exceptional education facility, it truly fosters an atmosphere of care and love. It is a family outside of family. Highly recommended!
