Save your money. This place should be shut down. The teachers are not accredited, the principal is clueless and it’s all ran by men. The curriculum is archaic. They don’t require children to be vaccinated of any sort. So if you want your kids to get mumps and measles send them there. They put uniforms on kids and say they’re “Christian” but they are bullies and think they are better than others. It’s a glorified day care. My kids were super behind academically after they went there. I would not recommend this place I’m surprised they are still open.

My kids were both bullied at this school mentality and physically. Teachers and staff don’t care and just pretend it didn’t happen. The trauma is unreal. The school is not accredited nor are the teachers and staff. All the students are behind in all subjects. I really don’t understand how this school is still open, or how it is legally open. Bizarre!

I could not be more happy with Beautiful Savior! We came from a highly regarded public school where my daughter had excellent teachers. However, she was not thriving at her public school. Beautiful Savior was a game changer for her. The classes are small and the individualized attention she got from her teacher really helped her develop confidence in herself. In general we have found the students to be an amazing group of kind and caring kids - exactly the type any parent would want their kids to be around. There has been no bullying at this school whatsoever. The school itself is beautiful. The classroom are large and the play areas well kept and very nice. I will close by saying that we are not members of the church and we have found that has not made an iota of a difference in how we and our daughter are treated. The school welcomed her with open arms. We have found the other parents to be an extremely genuine and warm group. All in all, I recommend Beautiful Savior to any parent looking for a small, peaceful and child centered school!

We are so thankful to have found Beautiful Saviour! My son has grown in many areas, especially in his faith! It is a wonderful school with kind, caring teachers .

Ridiculously poorly administrated. Sado for the few teachers that are there to actually make a difference.

Not every parent is happy at the school . No one will mention their concerns because they don't want to be treated like other families have been. Just last year an entire family was bullied and shunned for standing up for their child. The school is lucky they weren't sued for their neglect. It's a shame to hear that parents are aware of the situation and keep mentioning it. It shows how they continue to bully people. The administration and board condone it. If your family is part of the church you know everything about all the families. If you are not then you are just and outsider. This is wrong . I am seriously reconsidering being here. Especially after these recent posts and an email telling us to give positive feedback. If you have nothing to worry about then you shouldn't be soliciting .

I am beyond blessed to have this as my school. If you want your child to have a solid foundation in the Word of God and be trained the way he should go- you will find that here. There is great commroadary between the teachers, parents and students. I'm beyond grateful to call this place my children's school. I would encourage readers to come visit the school to see for themselves the truth of what a wonderful place this is to send your child.

Bad administration . Issues with bullying . Your son was bullied and principal did nothing to help. Never returned calls and ignored requests. Children forced to sing at church or family harassed for not attending even though they knew your family was not a member of church. You are glad you took out your son in December .

I absolutely love the school. I've seen my children grow so much the last couple years since attending. The teachers principal and staff are so loving. I couldn't ask for a better place! It's a true gem to find! The teachers genuinely care about the students. There is so much one on one attention given which is wonderful for each child to feel important, loved, and nurtured. I am very happy that I have chosen and continue to choose for my kids to go to the school. The school continues to do really good improvements which is wonderful to see. It allows children of all different types to learn in different ways. What a wonderful school!

I have enjoyed the curriculum for my two children . My son has really enjoyed his time spent here. I know last year they had a lot of bullying issues where they lost good families . This year they seem to have learned from their mistakes . Unfortunately I think it is sad that the principal issues a letter for all parents to write a positive response . That does not sit well with me. This seems like a way of just covering up everything as if it never happened. It's obvious that they are following his request by the flood of reviews in the last couple of days. Why should parents be forced to write reviews . Why include in email that it was a disgruntled parent? Why was the parent disgruntled? It concerns me what is being hidden.

The school provides my son the Christian bible centered education we wanted. We are very happy how BSLS supports our values.

This small school is a hidden gem. Everyone knows each other, and all ages play and are kind with one another. The new 2-4 teacher was impressed with how good the kids are. It's amazing to see 4K-8th grade sit in chapel and not utter a peep. The kids are well-behaved, they are taught a solid academic curriculum and learn about God's love at the same time and it is evident. My 8 year old remembers bible stories better than I do! They learn bible verses as well. He really struggled with reading before coming here but has made large advances. Also, both of my kids have food allergies and the school has all worked together to make sure they are safe in their environment. We love it here and I always feel that is a very special place and am constantly amazed that we found it and more people haven't come here yet!

10/10 we never intended to keep our daughter in private school, but now can not imagine her going to public school. Our son will be 4K age next year and it is our intention to send him there right along with his sister.

I am so honored to be sending my children to this school. It is very accepting, warm and loving atmosphere. My children come from a challenging home situation, so I was so thankful to find a school that was so warm and loving. You don't find this anywhere. And, I went to the same type of school myself and can say that it was a great experience and has only been a great experience thus far. Academically, your child will receive individualized attention. Emotionally and psychologically, your child will be accepted, loved and allowed to grow in a nurturing environment.

Enrolling my child at this school was the best decision I have ever made! Everyday I'm amazed at how much she has learned, evidenced by her high grades on tests. She at 10 years old has the maturity of an older child, looks forward to going to school everyday, easily makes friends and treats all the children with care and love. No school could prepare her for high school better and most importantly she loves the Lord with all her heart.

Our son has attended BSLES for three years with 2 to go, with no intention of transferring, and our three year old will attend when he is old enough, to solidify intent. The curriculum is challenging and is structured with enough flexibility to allow for advancements in subjects where individuals exceed standards. Extracurricular activities are limited, but given the size of the school I would expect nothing more. Volleyball and Basketball are the only two sports available, and music classes are offered during and after school. We are not church members and always feel welcomed and loved. Our son loves his classmates and staff and never had any trouble with bullying.

You get what you pay for. If you want a place where your child will eventually be shamed and feel inferior this is the place to go.

We had three children go through this school. Accredited school with Solid academics, plenty of extra curricular activities- sports, music, art etc. and aggressive balanced curriculum. Additionally, they stress memory work to continuously exercise the mind. Parents should be ready for a rigorous program of learning. The atmosphere is strongly Christian, with a Bible based core set of values.
