Children's Christian School

I had a very good experience with my son in this school. Not only did he excel academically, but when we transferred him into the public school system (only due to a change in our finances-not the teachers), he was ahead of the other kids in his grade, and was bored due to the lack of challenges present to him in the public school system. Additionally, the teachers, while not all are board certified, were excellent. They were very loving, related well with the kids, and used positive reinforcement instead of negative remarks or loud yelling as we experienced in the public schools. I feel that the relationship a teacher builds with his/her students and the method of teaching are far more important than if they are board certified or not. Just because they are not board certified does not mean they don't have higher education under their belt. If I could afford to send all of my kids to CCS, I would in a moment, because they outshine the public school system in many ways.

Wonderful and loving school. Very small class sizes that will cater to your child's needs.

Prospective parents beware. While we found this school to be great for PreK, Kindergarten and 1st Grade, beyond that they did not meet our academic expectations. The school has a high turnover in teachers. None of their teachers are Utah Board certified teachers, most of the teachers do not hold degrees in education. The school is not accredited with the State of Utah. The school does not report their CRT scores to agencies like this site and the Sutherland Institute site. http://www.utahschools.org/usaag.asp?stype=2&rtype=0&private=&sort=score So they cannot be ranked on these school sites based on academics. They do not take CRT tests each year. Poor teachers are not held accountable by the Director of the school and there is no monitoring of what or how they are teaching your child. They have declining enrollment rates in the upper grades. Really investigate this school before you send your child there.

The first impression is wonderful and keeps going from there. Each teacher is very dedicated to the students individual classroom, and educational needs. There is a very small, yet growing, computer lab, with programs that include extra assistance with phonics and reading and keyboarding skill practice for the middle-school-aged students. The school is non-denominational, and uses a Christian based program.

This is an extraordinary school with very special teachers. The very low teacher/student ratio allows each student to receive a lot of individual attention. The atmosphere is loving and supportive. The academics are superb with emphasis on language and math in a Christ-centered curiculum.
