School Reviews
5 8/4/2020
My son started at Faith in 7th grade and is now entering his senior year. It has been a wonderful experience for both him and our family. The staff and faculty are very caring and encouraging. His teachers make a point to Biblically integrate God's truth into each and every subject. Middle and high school years are a very challenging time in a kid's life, and to have the support of Godly men and women around him during those challenging years has made a huge impact! He weighs his decisions, looks at life through a very grown up lens, and we see him making very good choices! How many parents can say that their kid's school teaches integrity and character? My husband and I would 100% recommend Faith Christian!!!
