School Reviews
| 5 I am a single mom with one daughter currently in the 4th grade. She has been attending SLS since pre-k. I cannot explain how wonderful this school has been for her both spiritually and academically. Not only does she thrive in this loving, Christ-centered environment; she also excels academically and is on the same level as her 5th grade friends in public school. I truly think the school has given her the safety and confidence she needs to flourish that she couldn`t find in public school . All the students and staff know and care for one another. I`m sure it`s a difficult financial decision for many families to pay for school (I know having a single moderate income) but it is totally worth it for my family. To obtain a strong foundation early in school is very important to us and I can`t express my gratitude enough to SLS! - Posted by Parent - Jill |
| 5 My daughter is currently a 4th grader at SLS. She has attended SLS since pre-k. My daughter has thrived both academically and spiritually at SLS. The teachers and principal are loving, dedicated professionals and education is clearly their passion. There are many school activities throughout the year for everyone to participate in that are always lots of fun for the whole family! There are also many extracurricular activities to fit any interest for students. My daughter started band in the 3rd grade. Next year she plans to play volleyball and join LEGO league. The Christmas programs every year are always phenomenal. Students also have Spanish class twice a week. SLS is such a blessing for our family! - Posted by Parent - JO |
| 5 My husband and I are so thankful we found this school. We currently have a son in preschool there. Next year our daughter will start preschool. In just a couple short months our son has developed so much academically, socially and spiritually. They truly care about the whole child and not just academics. The parent communication is phenomenal and their are many opportunities to be involved. My husband and I are both teachers and we could not be more happy with our decision to send our son to SLS! It is an amazing school. - Posted by Parent - Amber |
