Parents & Students Love Onward Life
Onward Christian Academy is designed to create a better educational experience for the entire family!
“I knew I wanted to teach my daughter at home ever since she was a baby, but I feared I wouldn’t have the knowledge or discipline to do so. The loving and well-educated teachers at Onward are incredible...I love having the lessons planned out for us. The two days a week she is at school are so beneficial for my daughter and me as I think we both need that break, but I love that I get to be with her the majority of the week.”
“Onward is truly the best of both worlds. The school provides excellent instruction, fosters creativity, and instills a love for learning, all in a caring environment where everything done and said points straight to Jesus! We love Onward Christian Academy.”
