As a student at Carmel Christian from pre-school through senior year, Carmel does an excellent job creating an academically challenging yet fun atmosphere. The teachers at Carmel give exceptional effort and are gifted at teaching. Carmel's staff provides a safe place for students where Christ is centered in all aspects of academics, athletics, and activities.

I wish I had written this review before, but seeing other reviews recently, I felt I needed to share so parents and students can make a good decision about whether or not to attend this school.
