This school has a loving and supportive atmosphere that reflects the values of the Christian church. The teachers know the kids well, and are on a first name basis with the parents, as well. There are opportunities to be involved as a parent, but if you are a working parent, there is not a requirement, either. The academic rigor is appropriate, and they tend to keep technology out of the class, which I personally love, because devices are so addictive to younger kids. They do learn computer safety and typing, but this school takes the time to also teach cursive and the Bible. It has an old-school type of feel to it - for example the kids use text books and pencil and paper instead of iPads and apps. They have a comprehensive behavior policy and dress code, and try to promote self and others respect in their students. This is not the school for you if your child needs special education - they are not set up for that, given that they do 2 grade levels together, they don't have the bandwidth to do that. All kids 5th grade and up have opportunities to engage with school sports and drama, and there is no extra fee. Overall, it's a great atmosphere and the school takes the safety of the children very seriously with enhanced security features. I highly recommend! Our two kids have been there for 3 years and will be staying until high school.
