Both have started attending youth group at their church too. My granddaughter is getting dual credit at the county college. The teaching and communication is Godly. There is consistency and respect for everyone. Teachers are beloved by leaders and students. The core subjects are what they should be. Biggest benefit: no drama!!! I'm so thrilled my daughter & son in law pulled them out of the other "bigger" school. Thank God! For comparison purposes only, the other bigger, more expensive Christian school in Rockford does not operate like a "Christian " school should. There is no pastoral guidance, no one to override & give Biblical guidance when leaders & school board members go astray & do not handle situations biblically. It's one big popularity contest. Some leaders & school board members are liars and have tried to destroy other Christians who simply disagree. They do not exemplify a Christ-like attitude and behavior towards teachers, students, or parents. The head of schools always looked for a scapegoat any time parents complained, lambasted and circulated emails with lies about situations to save her own butt. Special treatment and the school discipline policy did not apply if you had money. Inappropriate behavior by coaches with money or close friends with those who have money went unchecked and coaches were not removed. Recently I heard the head of schools was asked to leave. But until the school board is scrapped & Godly parents take over, there's no hope. SO ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE! Don't go to the other bigger school.

Absolutely horrible school. waste of money. the school is outdated and there always seems to be…read moreissues. they hardly have a selection for electives and have a terrible new policy on kids being tardy to school... things happen.. sometimes kids are late there's no reason to punish them over it. i will be taking my children out of this school next year and do NOT RECOMMEND. save your money and don't come to christian life!!

We love this location!…read more I've been going here off and on since I was a kid and used to beg my mom to come play in the kids area, pool and racquetball courts. As I got older I enjoyed the weight room, indoor track, sauna, and eventually, now that I have kids of my own, REALLY enjoy the daily childcare. There is truly something here for every age group. Not to mention the staff are over and above friendly and I feel like every time I come I'm family. When I was a kid I definitely took for granted how lucky we are to have a facility like this. I didn't know any different. But now after traveling a lot for work and using other Y facilities, I realize how great this location is--not to mention it's the 6th biggest one in the U.S.! They have lots of programs and classes for every fitness level if that is your thing, and have events throughout the year too. They do so much good for our community and my wife and I can't say enough good things about the Y. Plus it's very affordable for everything they offer. A membership here also entitles you to access several other Rockford Y facilities in addition to a majority of YMCAs around the country. We've been members at other health clubs/gyms around town but this is our favorite. We think everyone should be members!

I dont know if the person who signed up our membership was incorrect in telling us this but the only reason we had bought a membership was to use the studio for dance as studio rental is incredibly expensive. Very disappointed.

I joined this location specifically for the "warm pool." In the last two months, only one time,…read morehave I been able to actually swim without an issue. There are only 3 lanes available; and if you go anytime after work, good luck getting access to the single lane that they condense lap swimmers down to due to swim lessons taking precedence. There are weird "safety breaks" that occur throughout the day and the last time I was there, I was in my final 25 lengths to my 2 mi swim and was told I had to get out because the lifeguard "deserved a break" (her words, not mine). Mind you, I was the ONLY person in the entire aquatics area at this time. And, she was wearing street clothes; not even a swim suit. I assured her I was of no concern to her and asked if I could finish my training. She suggested I "read the signs" As soon as my training comes to an end, I will be leaving this location. Their lack of employees, specifically lifeguards, should not negatively impact paying members. If I could submit more complaints, I would.

It's a smaller Y but they still have a pool and spinning room in addition to the other rooms I've mentioned. I'll definitely return here next time I'm in town.
