Is absolutely amazing! My son loves going to school and has grown in so many ways in just this short first year we have been a part of the open Door family. So incredibly happy to have this blessing in my son's path. The self confidence with academics and his relationship with God has been a joy to watch increase throughout his year. Stop by for a tour! I highly recommend.
