I really like the teachers and how there is a personal connection with the students. I feel like I can go and talk to my teachers about whatever and they are willing to help. The education is great and makes me feel prepared for life. It excels with reading and critical thinking skills. However, I would like to see the school grow bigger with more students, and a variety of classes and sports. I wish there were more fun classes to choose from and more activities to do. i would like not to wear uniforms as well. Overall, a great school that has provided me a great education to be set up well for life.

Schaefer Academy is a classical Christian school. At Schaefer Academy we believe that Christ is at the center of everything we do. At Schaefer we believe students go through three stages. These stages are Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. If you are looking for place where Jesus is the main focus and you can get a great education, you should look into Schaefer Academy.

Schaeffer Academy offers a christ-centered education for all students k-12. Schaeffer's elementary school is phenomenal, offering many fun opportunities for all students. Their high school is mediocre, but I would like to see more classes offered.
