We have been at Cross of Glory for 5 years now. The teachers deal with students with such kindness and patience. Our kids have developed a deeper understanding of the Bible and know portions of Scripture by heart. Our kids consistently test in the top 15% of the nation and I am confident that they are being challenged, but not overworked when it comes to homework. I love that there are ample opportunities for kids to get exercise outdoors and to participate in the "work" and upkeep of gardens and keeping chickens. They are learning a sticktoitiveness that will serve them for many years in the workforce, but most importantly, our kids have deep roots in Christ for whatever they may face in an unknown future.

Highly recommended! Our family loves Cross of Glory. My daughter has been attending school there since preschool and is going into third grade and we have enjoyed our time. The curriculum is strong and Christ-centered, and leaders, teachers, and staff provide a loving, supportive environment. Love that the class sizes are small. Thankful they are coming along side of us and reinforcing values we are trying to instill in our children at home.

Entire staff is caring and a joy to have teach my children. The education taught is top notch. It is a true blessing to have such a great school that is starting to grow and still have the ability to give my children the attention they need to learn and grow closer to God.
