Great teachers, content, and curriculum--relevant to today's changing culture, but standing far apart from it.

What an absolute nightmare this school was. We couldn’t even make it through a month. They use shame and manipulation in the form of “if you love Jesus you will do xyz well”. They do not accommodate learning disabilities like ADHD and believe a child should be in control of their mind, body and spir...

Ambrose has been an incredible blessing to our family over the last nine years. Rather than a school we "send our kids to," Ambrose is a partner that comes alongside us in raising our children, both in academics and character. The quantitative data easily demonstrates Ambrose's academic excellence,...
