Our son and daughter have been attending the Abiding Savior school since peschool. We are extremely pleased with the education they are receiving and will strongly recommend the school to any parent looking for a Christ centered education for their children. We love that their are so many programs that other schools do not offer. They have a wonderful music program, which both our kids have participated in. They teach Spanish from Jr. K up to 8th grade. And their enrichment program is really great for all grades. Our family became members of the church after our children started going to school. We found a home away from home and cannot find enough words to describe the warmth of everyone involved, from the teachers, principal, pastors to the ushers to the congregation in general.

Our daughter graduated from Abiding Savior having attended since kindergarten. She loved this school. She was academically prepared for high school and tested into honors classes. The teachers are caring and the class sizes are small enough to provide individual attention. Her class trip to Washington D.C. was one of the highlights of 8th grade. She participated in volleyball and basketball from 5th - 8th grade. She also learned the importance of volunteering and caring for others. The school is great academically and great spiritually. We were fortunate that we found Abiding Savior.

We are so proud & lucky to have our children attend Abiding Savior. This school has the most loving & respectable staff . Since this school has been around for around 30 years, they are very organized & well run. They have so many activities & after school programs you will be pleased. (both athletic & academic) The school principal is Awesome she really loves the kids & is very compassionate with everyone. Most the parents are very involved & very friendly. The teachers are amazing & truly care about each child. They also have a resource teacher that works with learning disabilities & a counselor that comes twice a week to talk to the students about anything they desire. Both are free of additional fees ! This is a wonderful Christ centered school .
