This school practices and teaches fundamental Christian beliefs and ideals in an environment that is not legalistic or judgmental - all are welcome and accepted. They really have a heart for ministering to kids and parents while they teach advanced material from the ABEKA curriculum. My children have attended from K thru 8th grade, and we loved it!

The teachers are amazing at helping each child to excel socially, emotionally, and academically. They really focus on good character, and make sure the students are safe and feel accepted by everyone. I love this school and everyone in it!

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
