Foothills Christian Elementary School

Wow, after reading the below review I have to say that I am in total agreement with that parent. My kids loved learning before they attended the Jr. High. My kids are very bright but because of the curriculum they used, it was grueling trying to get through thoughs years. Now that they are in High School, things are starting to get get better and their love for learning is returning. But if I had to do it over, I would have gone another route.

The Jr. High is filled with sweet teachers and respectful students. I loved both of these aspects about this school. However the curriculum they use, Bob Jones, is extremely traditional offering only reading, memorizing, and answering questions day after day after day. I liked the fact that the curriculum focuses on God, but through my experience with it I believe solid learning does NOT take place. If your child is a passionate reader, then they should do fine. But if your child enjoys a variety of activities and learning, then they might find this school very boring, mundane, and frustrating. There are so many other Christian curriculums out there that offer a variety of learning. Unfortunately, the administration is not willing to hear parent concerns regarding this matter.

I love this school. It changed my life and now I follow the Lord more than I did at my other private school

We like the flexible schedule, daily devotions, and student/teacher ratio.

My husband and I were very impressed with the teachers as well as the curriculum at this school. We moved our daughter out of public school and placed her here. I can tell you that this school is far more advanced than the public school's curriculum, and what a bonus to have Christian teachers too! Thank you for such a great experience for our daughter and for us as parents!

Positive, caring teachers. Low key and high curriculum. They want all their kids to succeed. A combination of home school for 2 days and school for 3 days.
