My older son attended this school years ago, after having a lot of ADD type issues in public school. He absolutely thrived here. Within a few months his attitude and focus completely turned around and he no longer needed medication. This school changed my son's life. Unfortunately he died at a young age, but the Christian lifestyle, example and teachings of this school prepared him for eternity. He was so excited about God because of the chapels that he attended here - and he would see the spiritual side of every situation - to the point that I had no doubt where he would spend eternity. I would recommend this school to anyone - and have over the years. I will always be grateful to them for nurturing my precious little angel!

Gospel Light Christian School is a wonderful school. The academics are great. Since it is such a small school, some one who would maybe not even make a sports team at a public school get to play on the teams. There is a great atmosphere at the school. All the teachers are qualified to teach and are great christians. They are more focused on the students learning more then just getting " good grades"
I love the school
