I have loved my time at this school. The faculty and staff and caring and supportive. They provide a wonderful Christian atmosphere on the campus. It has helped me to grow in my walk with Jesus. I have made really good friends that treat me well and care alot about me. Being part of the drama club has helped me come out of my shell. The academics are good and have helped me learn alot. There are lots of activities that encourage the students to get to know each other and they encourage us all to be our own person. It has been a great experience for me.

This is a beautiful school that is focused on giving the students an opportunity to get to know Jesus and accept Him as their personal savior. It is a school that prepares you for college, giving opportunities to have classes like Calculus and English Composition.

This school is very clicky and hard to be accepted...

Mirroring what others have said, there are some staff here that genuinely do care about the student body(at least when I attended). However, most play favorites, and harshly punish the students they already did not care for. Having only ever attended this school, I can't say exactly how it compares...

The school might not have the best facilities and offers lots of academic programs like Public Schools (STEM, for instance). Nevertheless, this is still a very good Christian schools that strives to develop not only students' academics but other aspects of life such as spirituality, music, leadershi...
