Senior: I love the major commitment to the students that the entire faculty shows. All of the teachers show serious commitments to help students perform their best in the classroom. I played lacrosse and basketball during high school and the entire community supported both programs tremendously. I saw my teachers at my games cheering me on which isn't normal to see. I attended public school up until moving to North Cross and I wouldn't even compare the type of education I received at North Cross to any public schooling. Teachers fight for students when students are not willing to fight for themselves, I once had a teammate that was so uncaring for spanish that he would fall asleep in class and constantly forget his materials. My spanish teacher always asked what she could do for him during class, sit down with him and make him ask about what he doesn't understand and help him through it. I could go on forever on how much I love North Cross but unfortunately I am limited to 1000 characters.... Read 29 reviews

Parent: When making the decision to switch my daughter to Roanoke Catholic after being in the public school system through seventh grade, I had no idea how much of an impact it would have on our family. The transition has been amazing! My daughter has been welcomed and immediately became valued. To quote my daughter (14 yrs old), "Mom, it's just a great learning environment". I could not be any happier with our decision. I only wish I had made the transition earlier. Roanoke Catholic School has become a haven for us during this challenging time of Covid. The faculty and staff put the health, safety, and education of the children first. I'm proud to say that my daughter and I are members of the RCS family. I look forward to her finishing her upper school years at Roanoke Catholic School!... Read 73 reviews

Parent: Recently someone asked me, "What do you love most about FCS?" and "if I had one word to describe Faith Christian School, what would it be?" I easily answered that what we love most about FCS is the "one-room schoolhouse" feel that one mother recently said. I loved that description so much! Everyone at Faith has the same "CEO" (Jesus Christ) that we all are taking direction out of the same "Playbook" (the Word of God). The fact that it is championed and celebrated in our children's school has been incredibly fruitful for our children and family. If I had one word to describe Faith Christian School it would have to be HUMBLE. I chose that word because I believe it is Faith's goal to operate from a humble, direct, and unashamed posture at all times - much like Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:14 If you want your children to know how to think for themselves and to set (and meet) goals for their lives, Faith Christian School is the school to partner with.... Read 26 reviews

Parent: Dedicated, caring faculty offering top notch courses not available anywhere else. A place where a student can grow and take chances in a supportive environment. My daughters are very happy at CHS and my oldest was well prepared for the challenges of college level work as a college freshman. CHS is more like a mini-college than a traditional high school. Rigorous, but also a safe place to navigate the high school years.... Read 7 reviews

Senior: Roanoke Valley Christians Schools is a great private school. The education is limited for students pursuing a higher level or advanced education. It seems they have a limited staff, so they are unable to provide AP courses. They do have amazing tutors! They have a "guidance counselor", but she was not very helpful in finding a good fit college or finding and applying for scholarships.... Read 51 reviews

Parent: I can't say enough good things about the teachers at St. Anne's-Belfield. My child lost a lot of ground learning virtually in public school during the pandemic. His teachers at St. Anne's have gone the extra mile to catch him up without making him feel bad (or even letting on that he's behind). Really love that he has access to learning resource specialists and the school counselor. Can't speak to athletics as he's more of a CS nerd (and the program is amazing btw!), but I understand they are stellar if that's your kids' thing. As with all private schools, I wish it were more diverse, but the school does a good job being intentional about diversity and inclusion so kids are aware and prepared to interact with people of all backgrounds and cultures, even if they don't see a lot on a daily basis....
