Elementary is wonderful.
Administration at upper school are less qualified without enough education degree or administration training. Students normal struggle at the age range become wrongly handled as spiritual or parenting problems. They demonize kids who make immature mistakes and shame those families who reasonably brought up different opinions. If normal issues rise up, the administrator deals it against the students/families as how evil and unGodly they are. This is very sad. Most families enjoy elementary school years. All the experience start to change at middle school. If you withdraw, you are the bad kids/families. Rumor rises up to ruin your reputation. They are very overprotective to themselves so it shows as they are so religious and never should open eyes to see their own pridefulness. Hush hush, you leave the school, it means you choose bad, not a good Christian.
They have no any program for students with learning disability. Worse, they hire around 50% teachers who are parents without education degree nor a teaching certificate. There are some good teachers but those stay longer, or having kids at school, could be the incompetent teachers. Most staffs are the mothers of students.
Talking behind, encourage their own kids to eye on "certain bad kids", encouraging a culture of "reporting bad behaviors" among students... You can imagine the human downside of such a small kingdom, the inner cycle, the gossip and legalistic community, which harmed lots of students during adolescence years. Some students got seriously mistreated religiously that they struggle in faith at later years.
This school partly does provide much needed Chritian education, which is the core reason most families enrolled into, but partly it functions as a religious shelter, a bubble, due to the religiously prideful, legalistic leaders, who are lack of authentic Wisdom, nor common sense. read more
