Sending our kids to Faith has been one of the best decisions we have ever made for our children. The reason we chose Faith is that we wanted our kids to get a high-quality education coupled with a strong Christian foundation. We live in a world that battles against Christian beliefs and my children need this strong foundation to guide them into their future. My boys also love soccer and we left a school that did not provide that sport for them. It was a win-win when signing on to be a part of the Faith family. Faith has made a huge difference in my children`s lives. They are challenged daily and love their teachers. My son became a Christian this year due to his wonderful teacher`s teachings in the Bible. What stands out the most to me about Faith is the love that they have for your children, the drive they have to help them learn, and you can feel the presence of Christ within the school. We love our Faith family and we are blessed that we decided to be a part of this outstanding environment!

Faith Christian School has been an absolute blessing for our family. Our children are in an environment where they are not only provided a college preparatory education but are also taught about the love of Jesus in every aspect of their day. Our children feel supported emotionally, challenged academically, and encouraged spiritually. The Faith Family truly is a family, and we are so grateful to be a tiny part of that family.
