School Reviews

Both of our children started their journey at King's Way when they were a year old. We loved the connection that was forged between our daughters and all of their childcare/preschool teachers. From drop off to pick up, we never worried about the safety or the care of our children while they were at the King's Way Learning Center. Our original plan was to send our children to public school once our youngest was old enough for Kindergarten. When public schools were closed during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and King's Way remained open (while still following safety protocols), we decided to keep them enrolled at King's Way. We have no regrets with our choice and know that the investment we are making in our children's lives is invaluable. We have been a part of King's Way for 9 years, and today our children are thriving in elementary school. If you ask them why they love King's Way, they would say that Chapel, their teachers, and their friends are what they love most. As parents, we are greatful for a Christ-centered education, devoted teachers, opportunities for parent involvement, and the community-based approach the school has with its families. We attend many extracurricular school activities as a family. During these events, our young children have been taken under the wings of many middle and high school students. It's not every day you can go to a sporting event, allow your young children to mingle with high school students, and not worry about them being negatively influenced. The older students pay attention to the younger ones, and include them without hesitation. This is especially evident during Chapel and other school-sponsored events. It truly is a community and we are blessed to be a part of it. King's Way is continuously expanding the educational and athletic opportunities offered to students and we look forward to watching our children grow spiritually, academically and athletically at King's Way. Go Knights!

Our family moved to Vancouver, WA last year. My husband and I were looking for a school with solid Biblical teaching, excellent academics, and a wide selection of sports, music, and extracurricular activities for our children in 3rd and 5th grades. We found all of this, and much more, at King's Way! The teachers and staff are extremely friendly, caring, creative, encouraging, and insightful. They foster an environment of love and learning. They are great communicators via a weekly newsletter and personal emails regarding upcoming field trips, classroom activities, and parent sign-up sheets. There are plenty of opportunities for parents to volunteer. Our kids made many wonderful friends in just the first few weeks of school. I give this school an A+ on all levels. We are excited to have our kids continue through high school at King's Way!

When we were exploring schools to send our daughter for kindergarten last year, we immediately felt that King's Way was going to be a good fit. The staff was warm, welcoming, and so helpful in answering all of our questions. The atmosphere was similar and familiar to what I experienced growing up, but with a big difference: a Christ-centered education and values, backed by their administration and staff. Now that we have been with King's Way for almost two years, it's my prayer that our daughter continues her education through high school there. She absolutely loves it, and we do too.

King's Way has been a consistent and stable school for our children. With King's Way able to stay open during COVID (following all guidelines during), our child didn't take a hit academically that so many students did during the time most schools were shut down and forced to online learning. We've found teachers across the board are kind and gracious, responsive, and willing to partner when needed. For the size of the school that King's Way is, the offerings at the High School level are good between AP classes/college credit classes and electives. I would recommend that another foreign language would be offered as only Spanish & ASL are currently the only choices.

We moved to the area last July. My wife and I enrolled our children in an elementary, middle school, and high school student in King's Way. The faculty, staff, and student body accepted our children into the King's Way family quickly. They built incredible relationships through activities, athletics, and the arts program. I can't thank King's Way enough for partnering with our family.

We moved to Vancouver and were concerned about our three children being accepted into a new school. Our children were immediately accepted and began building excellent relationships. I am thankful for the rigorous academic program, sports, and arts opportunities at the school that allowed my children to connect with so many friends right away.

Having homeschooled our daughters for a few years, we decided a change was necessary for our eldest. However, my personal experience of multiple moves during my childhood included mostly negative introductions as "the new girl" in school. After visiting our local district option, I was concerned that our child might be lost in the chaos of an overwhelming teacher/student ratio. Additionally, I was not impressed with the lack of transparency when inquiring about what information would be presented to my daughter in class. My husband suggested we at least look into the private schools in our area. We scheduled a tour with King`s Way Christian School and were immediately impressed. Not only did they provide us with a list of curricula for each grade but the staff and students seemed to all genuinely care for each other. We enrolled our daughter for the fall and it has been an amazing 3 years now. Our daughter has grown socially, academically, and spiritually. I cannot express how much it means to us to know that she is being truly cared for in such an all-encompassing way when she is at school. It took some adjustments to our family budget but it has been worth every single penny.
