The teachers and administration went out of their way to connect on a personal level with students. The science and math departments were excellent and they offered many in-school duel enrollment options. The arts and clubs opportunities were somewhat lacking, however, they are making a serious effort to grow in those areas and it is working.

I was also well prepared for college and found that the high level of academics was unique and helped me adapt to college rigor easily. I loved the community of Shalom and my husband and I chose to send our children there when it was time to make the important school decision.
