Best and strong academy! The principle of the school is very kind and helpful. Gave us a tour of the school and went through the whole school academy, safety and rules.

The extracurricular activities here are limited. Although the staff are more than happy to assist you in anything you may be interested in outside of school, SLBA itself does not offer much more than "soul-winning" and a teen's Bible club at Monroe High School. If you have an idea, you are free to bring it to the administration. They may or may not approve of it.

It’s a school that if you stick with their curriculum till 12 th grade then your children will graduate. It’s good.
