Leaving him all day is the hardest, but knowing he has teachers there who genuinely care about how he is and what he is learning makes it so much easier! There are days that I get there to pick him up from school and he says he doesn't want to leave!!! Every teacher is the perfect blend of professional and compassionate and are really great at getting to know your child. We attended a parent-teacher conference and they had put together a whole portfolio of his art and what they'd been learning to show his progression over the time he's been there. Amazing school. Amazing people. Wish we'd found it sooner!!

If you don't want to cause trauma to your kids, don't send them to Life Christian. As a former "lifer" and one of the few student athletes to go on to play D1 sports, and someone who's family has been a large part of the church for 4 generations, I can speak with certainty the trauma this place causes. I've watched it decline more and more since I graduated. The grade level education does not meet the level of education at public schools and especially does not compete with other private schools. Many students who left Life Christian felt under prepared at other schools because of the gap in education. Math and science programs are purposely under funded. The nepotism, rampant misogyny and over sexualization of young women, and unhealthy power dynamics should send any parent running from this institution.
