This will be the second year may child has been attending. The teachers are very communicative about my daughter's progress and I appreciate that. The director makes herself accessible to parents. Great academics. Parent participation is a must at this school for the success of your child and the school. I was specifically looking for a christian school. Although academics are important, may child's salvation is paramount. Yesterday, I attended a play at the school based on the Biblical Book of Proverbs. The performing arts department did an excellent job with the kids. I love this school. This school stands for biblical truth!
