  • “You can feel Christ on campus through students and especially teachers because of how supportive they are – you really know they care about you.” Maggy, King’s High School Student
  • “The primary reason why Christian education is so important is it gives students a strong foundation in a world of shifting values and morals.” Raquel Folchi, King’s Parent
  • “It is a blessing to be able to teach lessons, lead activities, build relationships, and encourage leadership through a Biblical lens.  As an educator, leading with faith-based education is a great way to reinforce the discipleship and godly training that is occurring in Christian households and faith communities.  Students being able to share their faith and educational journeys with one another enhances the overall experience of students in the classroom.” Dan Taylor, King’s High School Physical Education Teacher
