School Notes
- The most important responsibility of your life is the care and training of your child. We are a school that works with you and for you. Much of your child's life is spent at school. Why send them to a place that does not support , or possibly undermines, the values that you are raising your child to believe? Teaching a child correctly from an early age will prevent a lifetime of undoing mistakes of the past. Fornearly 47 years we have educated children's minds, hearts and spirits. We provide a nurturing atmosphere combined with a reason to succeed.

Been coming here since kindergarten, in 7th grade now. They have been so accommodating to me, though I am... crazy in the head a bit. The staff here are so nice, ill miss them when I leave. 6.5 hour day Mon-Thurs, 5.5 hour day Fri. good lunch food compared to public schools. Worth the money, 5/5

This school academically challenges my daughter while providing a small classroom for extra attention not found in large classrooms. No Common core or propaganda in their textbooks. The staff and education is based on the word of the bible and teaches the strength and virtue needed for every child to be successful in life.
