Unfortunately, this school is all talk with no follow-through. Their strategy seems to be very Charismatic, hyping up the quality and how easily their fundraising goals are accomplished because of God. However, we have found that the curricula is insufficient, setting children and families up for a difficult time transitioning to new schools. My husband and I share concerns about the quality of the work we see from the upper level grades displayed throughout the school. The entire "theme" of the school year is determined by what the head of the school believes "God told her" and then imposes that personal revelation, corporately, onto the entire school community. Furthermore, decisions to contact social services are made on whims, not logic, and disagreements are ultimately blamed on Satan's desire to destroy Christian unity, per their handbook. We have watched this school's quality deteriorate since we have been there and we do not recommend it. There are much better options.

Cannot say enough about how much we love Redeemer School. Our children (elementary and middle school) are thriving here. The Charlotte Mason approach to learning spreads a broad feast for the kids to learn from... nurturing their love of learning along the way and growing them as a person and in their ability to make connections across disciplines. We love how Redeemer strongly values parental partnership as well, including a requirement for volunteerism and parents teaching a short class to their kids' grade / class once or twice a year. The Headmaster and staff are wonderful and deeply care about students and families.

HORRIBLE, treated my child terribly and said learning was impossible. Curriculum Coordinator said litigious statements such as "your child can't learn, and doesn't have the tools in the toolbox" DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE, if your child learns other than from worksheets, RUN!!!! Middle grade teachers arrive without plans, unprepared, makes up plans as they go and do not help students who need extra help. Children whose parents teach here get special treatment and get away with bullying. Ive known other parents whose children were run off from school by headmaster who claims to be a Christian. I believe it is evil they way they treat kids with learning differences. Check the education credentials, I sitll wonder if they have educational degrees. DO NOT PAY FOR THIS MISERY

My Child has attended Redeemer School for 4 years and overall the experience has been positive, but not a panacea. The school excels in whole language, whole child learning, with an emphasis on literature and the worship of Christ. Truly, this is a rare combination. Class sizes are generally between 10 and 13 students with a lot of personal "hands on" instruction. However, Redeemer Schools' strength is also its challenge. The small classes offer little room for special learning needs or social maneuvering. Frankly, if you child has learning differences the school is somewhat accommodating, but offers more lip service than help. If your child has a conflict with another student there are 2 classes to choose from and the only other option is to get used to it. Bottom line. If you love God and want your child in a Christian environment this school this is for you... So long as your child doesn't have or develop any learning differences.
