Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: “Although we were already impressed with Central Christian School’s level of excellence through the first year of our girl’s attendance; it wasn’t until Covid emerged in 2020 that CCS’s true commitment to its students and families was highlighted. With grace and wisdom the CCS Team navigated the complexities and welcomed the students back to school in approximately 6 weeks! The way they handled this fearful and sensitive situation communicated such a spirit of respect for the many varied opinions. The proof of their excellent leadership was demonstrated through the ongoing growth in enrollment which has been reported to be close to 30%. It has been a great privilege to participate in such a dedicated scholastic and community-focused organization and we will be forever grateful.... Read 23 reviews

Alum: Trinity guided students in a manner which was very effective in preparing them for college. However, Trinity being a small school meant few resources such as AP classes or sports teams, counselors or outside knowledge of the world. The religious aspect of the school creates a very tight knit community, which can be a great thing if you are Lutheran and also attend the church or participate in school activities such as the musical, choir, or sports, however it can be detrimental at times if your faith doesn't align with the Lutheran beliefs....

Parent: Our entire experience over six years has been nothing less than wonderful. The teachers and staff know all the kids and really, truly care about both their personal well-being and their academic success. They go above and beyond to help wherever there is need, and parents get weekly personal emails from the teachers keeping us in the loop. The culture is kind, positive, and inclusive. There is abundant support and help throughout the college application process—truly extraordinary! I wish I'd had this sort of expereince in middle and high school! They have been generous with financial aid, which has made this journey possible. Teachers and staff are open and welcoming of parent input and questions. School spirit is great. The only deficit is that with the focus so strongly STEM oriented, music and drama are almost non-existent. I would have loved to have those offerings to round out the experience. Overall, an excellent education... Read 326 reviews
