"This school has come a long way in the 3 short years that my child has attended. I too was concerned with the "revolving door" of principals but can truly say that it had absolutely no bearing on my child's education. The teachers and staff are top notch, caring professionals who genuinely care about the students and their education. The school is taking great strides to better itself and it shows. Keep up the good work!"

"The year has ended and all concerns that were taken to both the revolving door of principals and the pastor (yes i agree very open to meet) but no action was taken on concerns. I also agree with the posting from a teacher on "what is the real issue" because if that's not fixed, history will just repeat over and over again. the Home Assoc needs a newly elected team, they are a horrible representation of the parents. They are also the cause of some issues that occur and participate/start in the gossip. I am moving my children to a different school & I know that a number of other parents doing the same in the younger grades. my main concern is the class size they are very large & children are not receiving the quality of education they deserve. the younger kids..this is the foundation & if the school doesn't get it right soon the children will suffer in later years. The teachers are wonderful but can only do so much. I hope the new year will bring change with the new elected principal. I wish the best for the school but I can't take a chance with my children's education and "wait to see" what changes will (if they will) happen. Best of luck and god bless."

"As we come to the end of the school year, it is also our first year having our children attending this school. Yes there are issues between the Pastor and the revolving door of Principals. But, I have to say that if the Teachers were leaving, then as a parent I would most likely have a concern. At the present time we are happy and will be sending our children next year."

"A great Principal left! She was always open to meeting with and discussing concerns that arose . Parents...be fair...if "Another Principal is gone" perhaps there are other issues that need to be addressed.Yes, it is a wonderful community of great students, involved parents and dedicated teachers...but one must question., "What is the real issue here?""

"My children were attending another Private School in the area and I was not happy with it but was unsure where to go but once I met the new Principal and she discussed her goals for the school I was very excited and decided to check it out. While looking through the school you could also see how much she had already done to make the school better for the children and bring the school to another level. The school has a music program with a band, art program, a great after school program, and she also added new technology into each classroom with Teachers that are trained to use it. The Teachers are loving and caring and go the extra mile for the kids. And the tuition is reasonable. i would highly recommend the school."
