Special programs
Editorial review summary
Parent reviews highlight a strong, tight-knit community where families share similar values. Many praise the dedicated teachers who 'pray for the kids' and the safe, nurturing environment. However, the admissions process is frequently described as 'competitive' and 'strict,' with a clear priority given to families who are active members of Pentecostal or Evangelical churches. Some reviews mention a 'bubble' effect, suggesting the environment is somewhat insulated from the real world. Waitlists are common, and getting in without a strong pastoral reference is noted as very difficult.

Common concerns
