Annual Parent Survey
Conducting an annual parent survey is a critical part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best educational experience possible to our families, as well as a critical piece of our accreditation process. Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the surveys linked below. Please prayerfully consider your responses as the feedback we receive will be part of the overall evaluation of our programs. The survey will be open through Saturday, March 6.
You will notice that the first question asks for the grade level of your child. Please complete a survey for each of your children with that specific child's experience for the 2020-21 school year.
