School Reviews

CAS is Outstanding! My child tested in the top 5% of the grade level in the state of Ohio as a result education received at the school every year since Kindergarten. CAS teachers make sure the students know education and have Bible application in each subject! International missions is a big priority as well. Students are invited on mission trips and often travel out of country to participate! Our family loves CAS!

I am thankful my kids have been able to be in an environment that helps them learn to handle life issues with the Bible as the foundation. I would recommend CAS to anyone.

CAS is an outstanding school with a great Christian atmosphere. I'm so glad my son attends here. He loves learning and has tested high academically. Thanks to CAS teachers!
5 7/22/2013
I would HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone wanting to give their child an interesting and rewarding educational experience. The teachers are A+ in all areas. Coming from the public schools to CAS was the best decision I could have made for my child. She has learned responsibility , creativity, and academics while being in the hands of our Lord , I never worry about her while she is at school anymore. What a Blessing CAS has been to my family.
