My children love this school! The teachers are beyond amazing and you can tell they love my kids. There are a lot of ways to build community as well, as we felt a part of the family from day one. The education is top notch and the best part is that my kids are learning God's work and to respond to situations in prayer. I'm so happy we found this place, and we will never go back to the public school again.
