Parkway has been a blessing to our family for the last three years. We have seen our kids excel academically, socially, and spiritually!! The teachers and staff create an environment that we feel safe having our children a part of. Parkway feels more like a family than a school campus and we look forward to the growth to come with the school and our children in the years to come. We very highly recommend Parkway Christian Academy!

So thankful my son is going to Parkway! Great teachers and staff. Our beliefs and values are upheld here and the teachers are patient and encouraging unlike our experience with his last middle school. My son is learning about God and His Word, I couldn't be happier!
