Mrs.Cardenas is really amazing and is very structured and organized which I appreciate so much. Mr.Stewart makes it a point to remember all the kids and is outside every morning welcoming all the students and parents. Last, but certainly not least my child's teacher Mrs.Machado and her aide (also a teacher) Mrs.Mccollugh are truly amazing. The communication is off the charts and the growth I've seen in my child is remarkable. The literally send an email out every single day to outline what the kids did.

The services are open to the public, but your prayers can be fulfilled with a bought on your knees your lighting a candle anytime you need. The church keeps its doors open to the public during business type hours for public use. A small candle donation is not required but appreciated. The Catholic population of Reno was vast in the early years with no place of worship or fellowship. The cornerstone of the church was laid in 1906. In June of 1908 the cathedral was dedicated. All worship services were in full swing, but a fire destroyed the roof in 1909. It was rebuilt and rededicated in 1910 where it still stands tall for all to come. The first Bishop of Reno, Thomas Kiely Gorman was set as the Diocese of Reno. Through the years many restorations have taken place to retro fit the foundation. In the 1950s a wrap around mural surrounding the alter was installed. A one of a kind mural painted by Edith and Isabel Piczek, is considered "to be one of the finest works of its kind in America." The theme of the mural depicts "Adoration of the Lamb of God, our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist." The message of the mural depicts how important the modern family should accept sacrament for communion for their lives and the community. The murals presents images of "Saints from the Old Law," Abel, Moses, Ruth, Abraham, and Isaac in all their glory. Depictions of John the Baptist and the Lamb of God are presented in all majesty. The call of angels is a truth of faith in Catholic teachings. The door of St Thomas is adorned in all copper with two angels on either side. We dwell in constant companies of angels keeping us safe. It is interesting that the Saint Aquinas, related discussions of angels to location. This saint discusses: "could an angel be a non physical being said to occupy space?" The realm of the angels these days and the early thoughts from Aquinas have led to much of the mechanics of quantum physics. It's a mighty majesty to place angels and you can ponder their glory in an Aquinas dedication to his reverence. As the large copper doors are open to all. Come in and find yourself. Talk to the maker. Use the services to help yourself and those around you. May your faith be strong no matter what you believe or follow. Happiness is yours just listen and accept the blessings that surround you. Amen! May grace, serenity and peace be yours always!

My daughter has been going to Excel since kindergarten and I am happy with the school. The…read morespiritual component is the reason that we chose the school. Bible is a regular subject and there are daily prayers and a weekly chapel where all grades gather for worship and then to listen to an age-appropriate Biblical message. It's comforting knowing that our values and beliefs are being reinforced at school by like-minded adults, most of whom see their job at Excel as a ministry. Another aspect that I really appreciate is the small class sizes. There is only one class per grade, so my daughter has been with the same group of kids throughout her school career. This has allowed her to form deeper friendships than she would be able to having to start over with a new class each year and it also means I am familiar with most of her classmates and their parents so I know who she is hanging out with and what kind of homes they are from. Each teacher so far has had his or her own teaching style and personality, but I have no complaints about any of them. They have all been very loving and caring in their own way. Excel is non-Denominational and not sponsored by any particular church or denomination, so there is a diverse mix of students and teachers who attend many different Christian churches in the area. While it's a small school, it is still relatively ethnically diverse for its size. I expected that there would be a trade off with diversity when we chose to send our daughter there, but have been pleasantly surprised that she has never been the only person of color in her class and our interracial family has never once felt out of place or discriminated against in the slightest. Academically, I have no complaints. The curriculum (besides Bible, obviously) seems pretty standard and similar to what you'd find in a public school. My daughter is on part with her grade level. Yes, it is a private school. Yes, you have to pay money for something that the government is willing to give you for "free," but it's money well spent, in my opinion. We aren't wealthy. We are a working class family struggling to get by, but we are happy to go without many things to know that our children are growing up being taught about the redeeming love of Christ at the place they spend most of their waking hours because at the end of the day that's what will give them the best shot at being happy in life.

We're…read moreso glad that there's a school close to us that not only teaches kids academics but also teaches them moral lessons which I think is the most important. The staff here are great too. They do care about the kids and are very attentive to their emotional and academic needs. One thing that is amazing as well is that it's a small school so the staff knows pretty much all of the children. Ms. Angie and Mrs. Baeckel greet each kid by name and their families during drop offs and pick ups every single day- rain or shine. We really appreciate the extra care and attention because you know they're safe having two pairs of watchful eyes to see who comes in and out of the property. My son also is learning so well. His reading I think is advanced and they teach them how to write in cursive at a young age too. He's made lots of friends and even the parents know each other and are connected as well. I don't think you will get that in a big/public school. We are happy that we enrolled our child here. We will stay for a while.

We did a lot of research before deciding where to begin kindergarten, and toured several schools, hoping to find one that stood out above the rest. The King's Academy is it. I can't imagine a better place for an excellent Christian education in the Reno/Sparks area. The staff are wonderful. The teachers are so amazing, experienced, loving, compassionate, and we really can feel how much they truly care for our son. He is having the most wonderful experience. I can honestly say that since my son began attending The King's Academy, he has come into his own genuine, authentic faith. He loves God, he knows God better, he asks so many great questions. Best of all, he tells me all the time now "I love you so much Mom, but I love God more." It is such a comforting feeling to have the utmost confidence in both the quality of the academics, as well as the spiritual environment of the school. We love the smaller class sizes and greater level of attention that the teachers are able to pay to each student, and therefore their enhanced ability to tailor the education to each child's unique needs. I attend chapel every week (parents and families are always welcome to join the students there) and absolutely love it! I love seeing the children having a great time and also receiving such quality, Christ-centered Biblical teaching. It's wonderful. There have been so many times that, unprompted, my son will ask me "Mom, can I please keep going to King's Academy all the way to 8th grade? I love it there!"

The staff is kind, caring, and has a genuine love for the children and parents that you don't see often. The communication is never lacking and if there is an issue, the full staff is there supporting you through it. We love it so much I didn't even attempt to put my second child in day care until she was ready for Summit. Imagine taking your child to a preschool where they are willing to work on the same things you are working on at home, whatever that may be, listening, sharing, telling the truth, good bathroom habits, you name it and the team will help you. I can't wait to see what this amazing team does with the nursery they are opening. I'm so thankful families will have the opportunity to start their kiddos there at an early age. Thank you Summit Team for everything you do!

This new system is so difficult to figure out and I don't understand why Manogue found they needed to switch it. This is a small issue that over time I know all families will just need to learn to love the new system. However, not only has the school's tuition gone up, which causes more financial strain on families but they have started to charge for little things, most recently they have started to charge a $100 schedule change fee. This is absolutely absurd. This is a small request on behalf of a family already paying so much money to attend Manogue and they have the audacity to charge us $100 to try and change a class. I cannot believe that they have gotten to this point. Very disappointed and saddened by this.
