I am very pleased with what Promise Land offers for my children. They absolutely love going to school every day and the teachers and staff are very dedicated and committed to helping my students excel academically and spiritually. I know that my students are safe every day, and that truly eases my mind that they are in an environment that always has their best interest at heart: spiritually, academically, and socially. I highly recommend PLA to anyone who has children in grades K-6. Great place to learn and grow!

PLA offers great classroom size for focused learning, an excellent structure to curb bad behavior, and a positive atmosphere with friendly faculty. The cost of tuition and books is very reasonable and the curriculum prepares the students with a number of opportunities to excel academically, such as annual spelling bee competitions and math Olympics. The school also offers extracurricular activities and plans great field trips for the children.
