School Reviews
5 3/2/2019
Awesome school! They have quite high standards and are very strict but fair. The faculty are qualified and caring. The curriculum is more than we had hoped for in a Christian curriculum. When the curriculum is taught to the standards of this school, it is unbeatable. The facilities are wonderful as well. The family center allows for plenty of physical education while in safety and comfort. Although high academic standards are demanded, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the focus of this wonderful ministry. We are blessed to have this school.
