School Reviews
| 5 Our child just transferred from Dimond High School to Lumen in the middle of her Sophomore year. She did not do well at public school for a number of reasons so we decided to try a private school. We are Protestant, not Catholic and our daugther currently declares herself as an atheist. Yet, we could not be happier. At first our daugther was very skeptical about the change, but decided only after 4 days at the new school that Lumen was a much better fit and that she did not want to go anywhere else. She has said "everyone at Lumen is just so happy all the time. They really seem to care about me and want me to learn. I can be myself there and they will accept me for who I am. I really feel safe and cared for." She has a brighter and more cheerful attitude. As parents, we are also very impressed with the academic rigor of the school. Our daughter is learning way above what she was before and is motivated to do better. With such small class sizes, the teachers can really teach and not just manage the classroom. We also love that she is learning about Jesus in the midst of her daily routine at school. She seems to be finding her friends and her fit. There does not seem to be many established groups of kids as there is a sense of camaraderie throughout the whole student body. She even likes the uniforms! As parents, we have also been truly welcomed into the school parent environment and other parents have approached us to ask how they can support us and get us involved. Our kids have attended a total of 9 different schools (pre, immersion, jr. high, high school), and the sense of community here is non other than I have seen. I only wish that we had her attend Lumen Christi sooner. - Posted by Parent - Shel |
| 5 A fantastic school! We could not be happier with our choice of Lumen Christi for our daughter. It is a great, close, faith-filled school community with plenty to offer academically as well as a number of extra-curricular activities. The cost of tuition is very affordable, and quite a deal considering the costs of other private schools in Anchorage. If you are looking for high-quality, hands-on education with an emphasis on the Catholic faith, Lumen Christi should be the school you choose. - Posted by Parent - Shane L |
| 5 I have one son currently at Lumen in 7th grade, and another one who is finishing up 6th grade and will be at Lumen next year. Honestly, son#1 who is very social and craves being with his buddies was reluctant to attend, he only wanted to be at neighborhood public school with his elementary school and neighborhood friends. Within just days of being at Lumen tho, he did an absolute 180. Seriously talks ALL of the time about how much he likes it and often brags (much to the annoyance of his 6th grade brother) how much he is learning. Son #2 has already gone from "Well, #1 might go to Lumen, but I'M going to Romig..." to "When I get to Lumen..." Makes a mom happy! The teachers and staff are caring and dedicated and the Lumen 'family' of parents supporters is amazing. I'd highly encourage anyone on the fence about private education to look into Lumen. - Posted by Parent - Anne |
| 5 I have 3 daughters currently attending Lumen Christi. We LOVE the environment, the quality of the teachers and principal. THe opportunities our children have had to try new things but not stray from the importance of a quality education have been so beneficial. We also value the integration of our faith and God into the curriculum and the children's daily lives. THis school is truly the best kept secret in Anchorage. - Posted by Parent - gotho |
