After homeschooling during Covid, we've had our children enrolled in the lower and upper…read moreelementary, Jr. High, and High School for a few years now, and have LOVED it! We found exemplary educators who, like us, sought smaller class sizes, use Christian-based, Abeka advanced curriculum, and cultivate a loving, supportive learning environment. They are consistently certified each year as an approved WA State Private school, and we've personally experienced incredible personalized care for each of our children. Lowest tuition out there for private education that we could find. Highly recommend.

Lunch: Fish Nuggets and jojos…read more What this meal lacks in presentation it more than makes up for in flavor. The nuggets are actual fish pieces and the tang of the Kraft tartar sauce adds the extra pop that takes this from a 4 star school lunch to a 5 star Michelin dining experience. The customer service of Miss Dee and Miss Kim was second to none. I would definitely enjoy this meal again when it comes up on the menu.

Think hard, don't lie to yourself... Does your child need a bit of support academically? Do you…read morethink they might? Do you want small class sizes? Are they on meds that need to be administered at school? Are they Neurodiverse (Dyslexic, Anxiety, ADHD, Autistic, Dyscalculia, etc.)? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this school probably isn't for you. We really loved the school when the kid was younger. But, partway through the lower school, supports and amenities suddenly got a lot more scarce! The Middle School is even worse. Were the staff at fault? Usually not. Decisions were made and the kids that needed a bit of help paid the price. There isn't a school nurse. They have remodeled some of the specialist-type classrooms to convert them into classrooms. There has been quite a bit of staff leaving in the last 5 years. There isn't a real 9:1 kid to teacher ratio in practice, they use alternative accounting practices including counting staff members like the librarian (kids see the librarian for an hour or less per week while most teachers rush back to their rooms for preparation time leaving the librarian often alone with the kids). Teacher assistants in the lower school are not necessarily full time and are often pulled from class to cover teachers and things like playground duties. The administration is actively trying to add more students per class, and more classes overall, as all administrators are prone to do. In short, while it is a beautiful school, it isn't for everyone. Try not to be dazzled and ask the hard questions. See if this is right for your family. It is an expensive question to get wrong.

They make kids more late by holding them up at an attendence line. No matter how early you bring your kids, your child will be late because they will literally hold your kids up for a half hour writing up an attendence slip. And my child is expected to walk a half an hour to school in whatever weather it is outside cause theres no school bus because we live to close to the school. I wouldnt be so upset if my daughter was actually learning something in cause but so far the only thing I is stuff that she already learn from her previous her previous school.
