    My grand kids go to school here. Before that, my son attended grades 6th-8th. The school has a new…read morelocation, but it is the same caring place. The teachers and staff seem to be so supportive of each child with their unique learning style and behavioral needs. My grand daughters have been attending since preschool, and are headed to 4th and 6th grades. Since the school is small and feels like family, they are thriving and love going to school.

    Our family has had an incredible experience at this school, and I cannot recommend it highly…read moreenough. From the moment we enrolled, we felt welcomed into a caring, faith-filled community that truly lives out its Christian values every day. One of the things that stands out most is the quality of the teachers. Every classroom is well-managed, structured, and nurturing, creating an environment where children can thrive both academically and personally. The sense of community throughout the school is remarkable, and it's clear that every staff member genuinely cares about the students and families they serve. A special thank you goes to Shawnee, the preschool director. She is absolutely amazing. Starting preschool can be an emotional and stressful experience for parents, but Shawnee goes above and beyond to answer questions, provide support, and ease anxieties. Her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help make all the difference. Carrie, my son's preschool teacher, has been wonderful. My son can be very strong-willed and challenging at times, but Carrie has shown incredible patience, understanding, and skill in helping him learn and grow. We are so grateful for the positive impact she has had on him. Ms. Marin is, without a doubt, one of the best teachers imaginable. She gave my 4-year-old an exceptional foundation and prepared him so well for kindergarten. Her dedication, encouragement, and ability to foster both confidence and a love of learning are truly remarkable. I would also like to recognize Principal Mika, who leads the school with compassion, empathy, and genuine care for every student and family. Her leadership sets the tone for the entire school community and creates an environment where children feel valued, supported, and loved. This school has been such a blessing to our family. If you're looking for a school with strong Christian values, exceptional teachers, outstanding leadership, and a warm, welcoming community, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Was charged assessment fee and then told there was no room in the class. Was told there was room in…read moreanother class I was interested in. Was told admissions/administration would call me back within day or two to answer my questions. Several days later and still haven't heard back from school. It's deceptive to charge assessment fee when admissions knows there isn't room available. Bad business practice not to return calls as promised.

    Talked to Kelly by email many times. I was available 3 out of the 5 days they operate, in order to…read morehave a tour. Wanted to tour the campus to see if the school is right for my kids. Kelly could not set that up. But asked me for a multi-year commitment before I even had a chance to see if the school might be a good fit. It wasn't the only problem, but the the strangest. In my mind that sums everything up. A school with a sense of importance above the children and families they serve. It is not unusual for a school such as this to have this attitude. It is simple disappointing. Remember, if the person set up to interact with you when making an enrollment decision is unhelpful and inexperienced, think what the kids will get. Enrollment for the first time should be the honeymoon period.
