I can't say enough about the positive impact Schaeffer Academy had on shaping the hearts and minds of our 4 children who have all graduated from this school. They often comment on things I don't have knowledge of. When I ask them how they knew that, their answer is consistently, "we learned that at Schaeffer." We are especially thankful that they stayed at Schaeffer for their high school years. Their breadth and depth of knowledge, including the helpful and challenging insights provided by caring teachers, was strikingly different from what my husband and I experienced in our own public school experiences. Is the school perfect in every way? No. But the school is responsive to concerns when they are raised. Was it worth every penny we spent? Yes! A thousand times, "yes!" Close Quote
