School Reviews

At this prestige Academy, your child is treated with attentiveness, and the teachers are thoughtful, and understanding. Above all Christians enjoy their jobs. As a parent I fell in love with this school, my daughter comes home quoting bible scriptures, and my heart melts hearing her say these bible scriptures. Ms. Tracy is an Angel devoted teacher who is the most inspirational woman I have ever met. I thank God for her every day.
