My child has been at the school for 5 years now and loves it. The faculty is amazing, very supportive, involved, knowledgeable and caring. We love the Christian community and education. The minuses are the lack of many sports but we are there for the academics.

Having spent over a decade PLUS at this school has given my family the community and competitive education needed to go the distance. The faculty, along with the teachers, believe each student can be the best version of themselves. I am blessed to know and experience the examples Christian Heritage has given each student and one another to leave a lifetime legacy in Christ and service. TOP choice.

The jump from preschool to kindergarten here is extreme and suddenly normal 5-year-old behavior is treated like failure. Daily emails shame kids who don’t fit their rigid mold instead of supporting them.
