Advent provides an exceptional learning environment with bright classrooms and teachers who encourage each child to learn and excel. The children grow academically and spiritually with a Christian education. The Parent Teacher League works together well, and the Principal has been a wonderful asset to the school. We are very pleased with our child's experience at Advent and would recommend any parent looking for a quality education for their child or children to come see what Advent has to offer.

For the first time in Advent Elementary's history, the school, church and child development center are working together. This is due to the new exceptional principal, pastor Paul Bickel. Pastor Bickel brings an impressive spiritual and academic resume to Advent. We appreciate his leadership, guidance and willingness to listen. Advent will continue to grow and strengthen under Pastor Bickel's direction.

Advent Lutheran has been a wonderful school for my child. We tried the public school system and had a terrible experience with bullying and other issues not being addressed. Advent is different. I have found the teachers and Pastor Bickel to be very responsive to any questions that I may have had. The Parent Teacher League which consists of all parents is consulted and provides input for the school. There are many opportunities to be involved from volunteering at library to hot lunch where you can see the children are learning and happy. We are not members of the congregation or Lutheran but our child has benefited greatly from a school that cares. Advent has been able to help my child excel academically. My child currently reads several levels above grade and is being taught from materials above grade level to continue advancement. My second child will begin kindergarten there.

I'm a proud parent of an Advent Lutheran Elementary student. My child has excelled academically and spiritually since we joined Advent. There is a strong Parent Teacher League that has open lines of communiation with the School, Church and Child Development Center. If anyone is interested in our School I would suggest they contact a parent. You don't need to be a member of the church congregation to be actively involved with your child's education.

My son is in the first grade at Advent Lutheran Elementary School and I am very pleased with the quality education he is receiving. The teachers are excellent and encorage each student to excel. Pastor Bickel provides exceptional leadership as Principal. There is a very active Parent-Teacher League where the parents, teachers and administrators work closely together to ensure the success of the school. I encourage anyone who is seeking a quality, Christian education, presented in a safe and nuturing environment, to consider Advent for their child.

This school was grossly misrepresented to us and we find its mission seriously misguided. While the building is beautiful, the direction of the school is controlled by an elite few associated with the church. This does not allow for a thriving school unless you are part of the church congregation. Communication is nonexistent and key decisions are made in vacuums. We decided this school is far from an acceptable fit for us and fear for its longevity under these weighty issues.

Under the leadership of Pastor Paul V. Bickel, the students at Advent Lutheran thrive. I am impressed with the strong curriculum, the Christ-centered environment, the wonderful teachers and the beautiful building. If you want a quality Christian education for your child, send him/her to Advent.
