School Reviews
5 1/19/2022
South Haven Christian School supplies Robertson County, TN, and surrounding areas with more than well-educated graduates: the students here are trained to be a light in a dark world. Both my sons got scholarship-worthy test scores on ACT/pre-ACT, but what good is a college scholarship if a student hasn`t yet learned how to live or why. To me, this is the greatest strength of this school. I pray the administration always keeps the main thing the main thing: that Jesus Christ is Lord, and only in the light of His gospel do any of us have hope for this life or the next.
Endorse South Haven 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
