I'm new to Redeemer, and it has been amazing to see a school where students have fun learning and excel academically. In high school and junior high, they are trained to think logically and develop discernment to address issues in our world today. In the early grades, the love of learning is also fostered, and students respond in amazing ways when they demonstrate what they have learned in their speaking, singing and recitations. The average class size is 11 making learning more accessible and enjoyable for students. Parents are involved and teachers are well qualified with most having been with the school 15+ years!

I love my school!! I'm in Junior High, and it's so amazing. We don't just get taught a bunch of stuff we don't need, we are taught everything and even if you start in secondary you aren't behind because they teach us a bit of the basics if it's needed. Everything is taught from a Biblical perspective, from math to literature. we even get a Bible class in Junior High and High School gets a few other Bible-teaching subjects. The classes are super small (16 people total in 7th and 8th). And for anyone scared they won't make friends, don't worry! I started off knowing no one and in 4 months now I know all of the secondary and a few elementary kids. We get sorted into houses, there are three options: Tyndall, Lawrence, and Victor. The houses are named after men who were murdered for their beliefs and faith in Jesus. The houses are opportunities for smaller communities inside the school, sometimes we get house lunches where instead of sitting with our grade we sit with the other people in our house. There's new people joining all the time, sometimes even in the middle of the semester, so if you want to do that you can. The teachers are super flexible so if you need help or are behind they will help you. I love this school so much!

Redeemer Christian School has been an amazing atmosphere for my nephews. They desperately needed the in person learning experience, and the efforts the teachers have made to support them is beyond expectations. The quality of teaching and content will prepare them not only for college but for life. The school actually educates and challenges their minds to grow. The curriculum and content are superior to any other school I have been involved with.

I love this school! My son went here K-12 and my daughter is currently a student. Caring teachers. Great teaching method that supports the children's learning styles at various stages of growth (the Classical method). small class size, family atmosphere. This school has been such a blessing to my family that we go even though we have to drive 20 minutes to get there.
