I went to EFCA from kindergarten through 12th grade, and I am thankful for my time there. I made relationships that have lasted through the years, not only with my classmates but also with the staff. EFCA prepared me academically for college as well as gave me a solid Christian foundation for my life. EFCA has a wonderful staff that really cares about the students. I would highly recommend EFCA to any family that values a well-rounded, biblically-based education.

EFCA has always been welcoming of our family and our child has assimilated well. The teachers demonstrate an authentic desire to see students succeed. It's very important that our child receives an education based on a biblical worldview, and we find that at EFCA.

I went there from Preschool to 6th grade. It wasn't that bad. The class weren't too long, most of the kids were nice, and the teachers were very dedicated. Discipline is used when needed but is not too tight. Overall, it was a great school.
