School Reviews
5 12/7/2015
Christian Hills is an excellent school both academically and spiritually. The curriculum of Christian Hills is ahead by many grade levels of most public schools. As a parent, I have not seen a nicer group of parents and administrators at any other school. The diversity of the school has exposed our children to people of many cultures and backgrounds and it has made a positive impact on their school and overall life experience.
