Senior: This school has many great qualities that parents look for in a private Christian school. The teachers care about their students' academics but they also care about their overall well-being. They always offer extra help by encouraging students to get connected with the tutoring program that is provided, which I am very honored to be a part of. There is a vast quantity of extracurriculars that students can explore and from what I have seen, the sports and music programs at RLCA are very welcoming and students work hard to further their skills together as a team and individually. It has been astonishing to witness so many students furthering their faith at RLCA, especially at Wednesday chapel. I have no complaints because I have not experienced anything that would make me think that this school was incapable of being a great one.... Read 61 reviews

Senior: My experience at First Academy Leesburg has been amazing. Since my freshmen year of high school each teacher and administrator has guided me to where I am today. Since First Academy is a college prep school, I feel as if I will have a head start in my college classes. I recommend sending your child to First Academy for an extraordinary classroom experience.... Read 58 reviews

Senior: Liberty Christian Prep is a school where you make lifelong friends and the teachers/staff truly care about you and want you to grow. The connections I have made at Liberty have encouraged me to go to a Christian college where I can grow my faith and help grow the faiths of others. Everyday at school is amazing. The classes never seem to bore and there is always fun to be had. I have played both volleyball and basketball where I learned good leadership qualities and good sportsmanship skills. At LCP you grow not only academically, but in your faith. All the skills and experiences I have learned and had at Liberty will last a lifetime. My LCP experience has been truly amazing and life altering. I can accurately and truthfully say I will be honored to have graduated from LCP.... Read 33 reviews

Niche User: Crucial stepping stone in my education that truly laid the groundwork for future academic success. Faith could not have left me better prepared for freshman year and beyond. Teachers push students to be the best, and a tight-knit community provides not only a better education, but also better integration into the school's environment.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: Administration and teachers care about their students and their success. They offer dual enrollment for high school students, which is very good. They provide guidance for students in high school to help them be college ready and to be successful in their pursuit of learning after high school. They provide Christian values and education which I consider very important.... Read 2 reviews

Niche User: Citrus Heights Academy is a school that offers an authentic Christian education with a student-centered feel. The teachers and staff are genuinely passionant about educating their students and it shows. Students feel a great sense of exceptance which fosters growth in academics and personal development. They are a ministry of their church, Citrus Heights Church of the Nazarene, which has an excellent and connected congregation. The church has a family feel that immediately makes you feel welcomed and apart. You don't have to wear a fancy suit or say just the right things, you just have to come as you are and seek Jesus. This church puts Christ first and really cares about their families and community.... Read 5 reviews

Senior: Astatula Christian is a small school with big goals. I have attended this school since I was in 6th grade. I have had the best academic experience there and I would strongly encourage other families to attend as well. The staff is so helpful in the office and all the teachers are passionate in what they do. Astatula Christian also has a No Tolerance for Bullying Policy and a great environment for all the students. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish I could have been going here since kindergarten and enjoyed it longer.... Read 1 review
