”I love that my school is a Christian school. I love that we share in worship each week and learn about the world through a Christian perspective; I love my teachers, how they show their faith in their teaching, and are always willing to reach out to me outside of school if I need them.

”The teachers are outstanding and go above and beyond the call to impact my kids.

”The teachers care about their students: they want to help students develop their strengths and understand that they are made in god's image with specific talents and gifts.
