I have two other students who have attended since Kindergarten. We choose to shift schools because, not only is Cole Valley academically rigorous, but they also care about the whole person and focus on preparing them for a future where they deeply think about how to impact their world for Christ. The elementary campus integrates creativity and fun into their courses by having themed units that incorporate all subjects into creative learning from which my boys really benefited. My students always felt loved and encouraged as they were pushed to rise to the high expectations that the teachers set. The teachers would give extra attention to help my sons overcome any hindrance to their potential. I appreciated the extra care they gave to communicate with me and involve me in those solutions. They set a solid foundation for my boys' faith in their elementary years. At the secondary level, students have an advisory mentor assigned to them to walk through 7th - 12th grades to examine life and faith. My boys have deeply appreciated these relationships. My graduate had the vice principal as his mentor who he says really taught him how to love and serve others. Their friendships with their advisors are meaningful and help our students think deeply about their life decisions at this critical season in their lives. The guidance counselors are excellent at keeping students on track for their individual college goals. The teachers offer traditional and creatives methods to learn the material. The student experience is full of opportunities for healthy social fun at games and the school spirit is contagious. The opportunities for social justice through short term mission trips with peers or community service locally are abundant for a small school. My students' friendships are faithful and meaningful and I trust them in their social time...a gift to a parent who might otherwise worry about their peer groups. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my student's experience at Cole Valley Christian Schools. I would recommend CVCS to anyone who asked.

We…read morecurrently have all our kids enrolled, and we love the education they are getting, both academically and spiritually. With many Christian schools, it seems that faith is put on top of curriculum, like frosting on a cake. I've seen at CVCS that faith is baked into the cake itself. For example, every parent/teacher conference is opened in prayer, each child is prayed over when considering classroom placement, and Christianity permeates every aspect of academics and social activities. If you live in the Treasure Valley and want a solid education for your kids, as well as having them surrounded by positive role models, I strongly recommend Cole Valley!

I am genuinely heartbroken that I have to write a review like this, but families deserve to know…read moreour experience. We were excited about The Ambrose School. During our tour, they expressed how much they loved our child, how well she would fit, and even told us there was an open spot. All we needed to do was complete the application. We did exactly that. The application asked detailed questions about our specific Christian faith and the church we attend. Within a week of submitting it, we received a cold, impersonal email informing us that our application was being terminated and our fee refunded. No explanation. No conversation. No willingness to clarify anything. Just a closed door. When I reached out and respectfully asked for the reason behind their sudden reversal, we received complete silence. Not even the courtesy of a reply. Based on the timing and the nature of the questions they focused on, it is hard to see this as anything other than religious discrimination. What makes this even more painful is that our child previously attended a nearly identical "Classical Christian" school in another state--with the same curriculum, same values, same books, same structure--and thrived as a straight-A student. She was everything they say they want in a student. Explaining to her why Ambrose had suddenly changed their mind was absolutely heartbreaking. Their academics appear strong, and I am sure many students receive an excellent education. But our experience revealed something far more concerning: a lack of transparency, compassion, and Christlike behavior. The way we were treated was dismissive, exclusionary, and completely out of line with the values they claim to uphold. Families deserve honesty and respect. Sadly, we experienced neither.

Latching on to selected text in the Bible can help justify the judgments. Sadly, people that practice this behavior are not embracing, and may completely miss, Jesus' primary message of love.
