I am so blessed to be attending Beaches Chapel School. The classes have a small student-teacher ratio, and the teachers are so caring and interested in every student. Being a member of the student worship band during high school has been a wonderful experience, as well. I would highly recommend my school to everyone.

My son had multiple teachers in middle school. This was our first year Private School. The administration was so critical and demanding (in all the wrong ways) that it drove several experienced teachers out of the school.

Excellent. I have had children in lower, middle, and high school. They deeply care about the children. They continue to challenge them academically and are always looking to build their charcter and faith. We have been truly blessed to be there!
