Don`t send your children to this school. They do not teach critical thinking skills; they do not have qualified teachers teaching subjects that they are even qualified to teach. Leadership is awful, weak and dishonest. They take your money, promise a good education, and failed to deliver. Seek out another private school that can offer a good solid academic program in conjunction with a good Christian education.

Our child is thriving at Grove. The staff and teachers are very supportive and encouraging. We really love the Christian curriculum he is learning, and the academic level is appropriately challenging. He especially loves the outdoor and indoor playgrounds!
Endorse Grove Christian School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
