I can't say enough about this school. The school is STEAM based. I have watched my child flourish with the best of the best. As a young girl, it is important for her to excel in both math and science and she does both exceptionally well. Ironically, math is her favorite subject. The teachers are very patient and have very high standards for all the kids. This school prepares kids well above the next level grade. The teachers, staff push the kids to think outside. The science projects are not your ordinary science projects. You have kids making security systems, 3D models on how to improve the eyesight. No, you will not find your usual volcanoes and solar system. If you're looking for a good Christian based STEM school, this is the school for you.

This is a diamond in the rough of area schools. My son loves going here and I love he attention to his academics and spirituality they give him. he is taken out two times a week for extra attention with his reading. This is not because he is behind but because he is advanced! He is giving book reports to do and is challenged. He will be in the science fair this year and he is only 4 years old! Lions is a great school.
