Private Schools

My grades have never been higher in my whole life!

Our daughter is an alum and she received an excellent education here. We absolutely love the St. Stephen's family. Thanks for allowing us to come back without her and take advantage of catching the eclipse at the observatory.

Everything

Our son will begin his first year in upper elementary this Fall (4th grade). He began at Parkside as a first year in lower elementary (first grade, age six) and my husband and I cannot imagine there would have been a better school for our son's early education. In a word, Parkside is Exceptional. The balance between academics and creativity is near perfect. Our son's knowledge of math, science, geography, and history are excellent - he could transfer to any school in the city and be at the top of his class. At Parkside our son loves to learn and has become a voracious reader and seeker of knowledge. At Parkside he is encouraged and nurtured in his passions. I also love how from the get-go our son and his classmates are taught kindness and respect for others and this really shines. The children are taught to resolve conflict with care and communication between them. I also love the vertical mentoring where the older children assist the younger children in the classroom, and the younger kids get to learn from the elders. During the three-year cycle in a multi-age classroom like this the children really thrive in their community. Community being the operative word at Parkside - not just the children but the parents and siblings as well. My husband and I have grown and learned ourselves thanks to Parkside's emphasis on community building and good citizenship! And thanks to Parkside's twice yearly Cultural Challenge our son is a confident speaker and performer in front of large crowds and this confidence carries over into his day to day interactions with others and in everything he does. The best testament to Parkside's success as an elementary school is when we pick our son up in the afternoons and ask him how his day was. Each time his answer is the same: "Awesome!" I wish I had gone to a school like Parkside when I was his age!

Just guys being dudes

I love this school!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pleace if you are lookinf for a kinder garden

Loved the teachers, loved the experience. Glad my kids got to start out their school careers at this school.

Alumni and current parent- wouldn't think of sending our children anywhere else. I was extremely prepared for a top tier academic school and I see the same foundation poured into my own children. It is more than a college-preparatory education though, it is the Biblical worldview that makes it stand out. Excellent fine arts and athletic program add to the culture of LCCS!

I have to say, I was nervous transferring my son to a new school. We have been in the Primrose family of schools for all three and half years of my son's life. He absolutely loves this school! When I came to pick him up, the music was going, everyone was playing and having a blast, he almost cried because he didn't want to leave. Every picture they send me throughout the day through tadpoles he looks genuinely happy, which warm's this Momma's heart! This entire staff of teachers and faculty are all "The Apple of My Eye"

Covenant has been an extraordinary experience for our children. The classical, Christ centered ciriculum was exactly what we were looking for.

Love love the atmosphere here. Teachers and staff go beyond expectations.

Well, thank you to the reviewer from three years ago. It sounds like TCA is just what I'm looking for!! God works in mysterious ways, indeed.
