I have used this provider for more than 6 months

In my opinion, there is no other school that comes close to the education that Pilgrim provides. My daughter has absolutely flourished in this environment. Pilgrim has small class sizes and teachers who actually care about your children. They actively take part in your child’s life. They have an excellent curriculum, and Bible based teachings. What else could you want? They teach respect, love, understanding, and forgiveness, along with everything else that is required by the state. But like I said, it is in a personal environment, and tailored to the needs of each individual child. I know this because I was also a student there. The teachers have changed since I was in grade school, but the wonderful environment of people who care, hasn’t. I highly recommend.

My kids started at Pilgrim school since they were both 3 years old. The teachers are so patient, so kind and my kids have both loved going every day. They love singing in church and the weekly devotions. They come home with such a love for the lord and love going to chapel once a week.

My 4 yr old boy attends Pilgrim and we have been blessed by the loving staff, small class size, and Christ centered focused that is at the forefront of their care. Because of the small classroom sizes teachers are able to easily differentiate learning to fit the needs of each student. As a parent I have felt that every teacher has made an effort to make a positive difference in my sons life. With all of the choices out there, this is a great school for your kids. As a parent I recommend this School
