It's clear that they are passionate about helping each child grow into a confident, respectful, and faith-driven young person. The small, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Students are encouraged to succeed, and there's a real sense of community where everyone feels seen and valued. I especially appreciate how faith is woven into everyday learning, helping students build strong character and a solid foundation for high school and beyond. The teachers and staff go above and beyond, always communicating well with parents and creating a safe, nurturing space for kids to thrive. My daughter has grown so much during her time here, and we are truly grateful for the impact this school has had on their life! All of the teachers have made such a big impact on her, and with this being her last few months on this campus, she's going to miss each and every one of them! I cannot put into words how much the Principal Troy Kimura has meant to my daughter. Troy has made such a steady source of strength, support, and faith, and has gotten my daughter through some very tough moments she and myself will always be so thankful for. He has made a lasting difference in my daughter's life, and we will always be grateful for the kindness and love he has shown. If you're looking for a Junior high, I HIGHLY recommend this campus to any family that prioritizes both education and faith!

UPDATE (April 2026): It is worth noting the suspicious…read moretiming of the most recent activity on this page. My initial review was posted three months ago. Prior to that, the most recent rating was a 2-star review from a year ago. Now, suddenly, within the last two weeks, there has been a wave of four 5-star reviews--some even mentioning the Principal by name. For parents doing their research: please take note of this pattern. It is quite a coincidence that after a year of silence, the school suddenly receives a surge of perfect ratings just as enrollment season peaks and my initial detailed review remains unaddressed. It appears the school is focused on "padding" their online image to drown out a parent's honest experience. Interestingly, looking back at the school's history, there are older reviews (if you filter 1 star reviews) from 9 years ago documenting that previous administrations also solicited 'glowing reviews' from parents. It seems that instead of evolving, the school has maintained a long-standing pattern of prioritizing image management over addressing the root causes of parent concerns. A sudden spike in positive comments doesn't erase the documented favoritism and safety concerns I've detailed in my original review below. [Original Review Below January 2026] I truly wanted to support this school, but after a year, I had to withdraw my daughter for her own well-being. The environment is deeply toxic, specifically regarding a practice known as 'rage baiting.' This is a form of targeted harassment where students intentionally provoke or mock a specific peer until that student has an emotional outburst. Despite this being brought to the attention of leadership, the administration does little to intervene. There is a disturbing pattern of chronic absenteeism among students who were simply avoiding school as a survival mechanism because the environment had become emotionally unsafe. Leadership needs to conduct a serious internal audit to understand why students are choosing to stay home rather than face the daily provocation allowed within these walls. Furthermore, my daughter witnessed a disturbing lack of empathy and discipline in the classroom. While there are no special-needs students attending the school, students frequently use 'disabled' as an insult. If a student asks a question that others perceive as 'dumb,' they are mocked with offensive hand gestures simulating a disability. Teachers observe this and say nothing, allowing this culture of mockery to go unchecked. This behavior is compounded by clear favoritism. The principal's child is part of a dominant social group that appears 'untouchable' due to their father's position. While my daughter was labeled a 'bully' by the principal for a single reactive incident in an unmanaged classroom (kicking the chair of a disruptive "star athlete" student), star athletes and well-connected students receive preferential treatment regardless of their conduct. Despite the school's branding, we found no evidence of Christian values here. Their final interaction with us was a petty dispute over a book that was sitting right in front of them--a fitting end to a year focused more on tuition than student character.

Within minutes of getting there we got weird vibes. The front office lady was not very friendly. It was like as if we weren't good enough from the beginning. We were fortunate enough to run into the principal (I think his name was Mr. V) and I was like oh thank god, someone else to base the school off of. Ummm he was even worse. Very click ish and made us feel like if we didn't beg to get in, we weren't getting in. Seeing him interact with everyone was cringe. You are either in the click or you're not. The amount of paperwork requested was ridiculous and no other school asked for 3-4 years worth of report cards. We had heard the school is small and doesn't have much to offer but were wanting to check it out to make our own opinion. This school is a HARD PASS. The staff is not friendly. Don't waste your time.
