Both my children have attended for several years. One has graduated and one is in 6th grade, This school not only has a great curriculum, but it also has a loving family atmosphere that focuses on raising christian leaders. I am Baptist, and they have been very accomidating and have never pressured my children to become Catholic. They have Pre K through 8th grade.
