AGNA has been a blessing for our children and family. AGNA is not just a school, it is a family. Every staff member at AGNA is 100% committed to their students and to their school mission. The small class sizes allow the teachers to connect with the children both academically and socially. AGNA has fostered a love of learning in my children, and they have continued to excel academically. It is a positive upbeat environment. A real gem in a small community.

Enrolling our daughter in AGNA was the smartest thing we could have done! She started in the Preschool program, went to the Pre-K program and enjoyed summer camp there for the past two summers. In that time frame my daughter went from being very shy to having a great deal of confidence in herself. The teachers and staff all truly care about and love the kids, they really create a very close knit community for the kids and family. They have a very well rounded curriculum. My daughter has developed such an interest in music because of AGNA, she developed sports skills and can count to 100 on her own. According to her kindergarten teacher, she is at one of the highest levels in her class and I attribute that to her time at AGNA. They prepared her so well for kindergarten, both socially and academically. I cannot say enough about this school or it's teachers and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Nazarene Academy is HANDS DOWN the best decision I made for my children's early childhood education. Unlike other early childhood centers in the area, I found Nazarene to offer a unique blend of structured education as well as early exposure to faith, providing a enriched and loving environment for my children to flourish. My oldest graduated from preschool feeling love, accepted, supported, and smart and was quite advanced when entering Kindergarten. My 3 year old current attends and has already learned how to write her name and is sharing with me stories of faith and love. I already cannot wait to send my youngest in a couple of years! If you are looking for a school with structured education, hands on activities, as well as a loving and faith-based environment, then look no further than Nazarene!
