“I have continually been impressed by many aspects of Family Life Academy. The teachers’ dedication to training children in Scripture and a Christian worldview is evident in all that they do. The staff’s love and care for the academic and spiritual growth of each student is touching to see and the small class size facilitates such development.”

“Having our daughter, Mackenzie, attend the Family Life Academy has been a blessing. They have provided such a great atmosphere for not only a top-notch education in academics, but also an education in the spiritual life. There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t appreciate the support and assistance Family Life Academy has  provided for us, including the teachers, childcare providers, and staff. Thank you so much for offering this great opportunity for our family.”
- Al and Michele Helms

“Since enrolling our daughter, Eliza in FLA in 2008, we have been blessed by the personal attention of the teachers, the commitment to honor Christ, and the focus on developing her knowledge of God’s Word.  In our mind those are indispensible principles a solid education needs to be built upon.  Our thanks to the Family Life Academy staff in pursuing those qualities of a Christian Education.”
