We were praying for a school where our son could receive a Christ-centered education while learning all that he needs to prepare him for the next steps in his education (and in life), and Followers of Jesus School has been all this and so much more.

My kids came from public school not doing well and now 2 are on the honor roll, one is still giving problems but the teachers work with him and stays after school with him. My last daughter is also about to attend in September 2013.
