School Reviews
5 2/28/2012
As a former student who attended years ago and just finishing my BS in Business I find this school to be very different. Its inexpensive but you will get a good education. The material they use is mostly good but is very Christian. While they do accept people of every faith and are overall respectful of what you believe, your child will find themselves every Wednesday having to listen to a sermon which sometimes include insulting other religions (mostly Mormons and Catholics). Your child will get their rear end paddled if they misbehave. But looking back at my years there my thoughts are mostly positive and it prepared me for high school at La Cueva.
