What a breath of fresh air this school is! We could literally FEEL the love of God here and a beautiful atmosphere of love. This was very refreshing. The staff is friendly and helpful and Cheryl Cavanaugh, the principal, personifies the word "beautiful" inwardly as well as outwardly. No stern, ugly attitudes or "duty-minded religiosity" or disgruntled , gossipy teachers ever observed here. What we have experienced here is exactly what we hoped to find in a school calling themselves a "Christian" school...a genuine, loving, Christ-centered, helpful, encouraging, supportive Christian school, professionally run with a high academic standard and superior results. The school atmosphere is comfortable and peaceful and "happy". Our son looks forward to school each day and is excited to be here. The school offers a bus service and families from several counties have children attending here, due to the desire to send their children to a Christian school of this great, outstanding caliber. We drive our son almost a half hour to school and then I drive back home (almost one hour round trip). Then I pick him up and drive him home after school so I can be with him (though he could take the bus). That's nearly two hours a day of travel time, but it's so worth every minute! Our precious son and our family are so very blessed by God through this school, and we would highly recommend it to others!

This is an absolutely great private school. The Teachers and all faculty members are very loving, caring, and nuturing to all of the students. The Teachers really take their time to develop and make sure the students become exceptional students. As a parent I could not ask for a better atomosphere and classroom environment. I would definitely recommend this school in any parent in and out of the local area. The Staff is great with communicating with the parents and letting them know where you child should be.
