I am a parent and alumni of Redwood Christian Schools. I love the community of families in our school. They desire for their kids to succeed, grow in their development and learn to follow and lead as Jesus leads us. In this day in age I believe this is a place where my kids cannot only learn much, but also grow in their relationship with Jesus.
