It's refreshing to students to work ethic, responsibility, accountability and most importantly about the love the Lord has for them every day. I am relatively new to the school almost a year and wished I had know about this school when my boys were school age.

The teachers, staff and parents help make Strickland Christian School a great school. It's a rewarding school for all. All my children have thrived tremendously in mathematics, cursive handwriting and grammar. Wow!!! This school also promotes unity in the school family through coordination of children programs, fellowship and encouragement of one another, and the administration and teachers. This school helped my children to have the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education. Praise ye the Lord.

Very authentic Christian school for setting a solid faith and academic foundation for the children at their early age. We have sent our kids to this school for 4 years. Kids and parents are both very happy. Highly recommend!

My kids (kindergarten and 1st grade) are in their second year of school at Strickland. The teachers are very caring while growing the children in both academics and character. I love that scripture and prayer are part of the daily routine, and my kids get structure and advanced academics in a Christian environment. One other note: the teachers are very accessible, and we receive text messages about the kids when needed. Its so great to have a direct line of communication to my kid's teachers!
