    Are you excluding Catholic schools or are they considered Christian too ?

    Jim,
    
    Why not provide the information and let the guy decide on his own?  The
    note wasn't entered to spur a discussion of this nature.
    
    Please,
    Nancy

    Well, I just wanted to be sure cuz there are two in Leominster itself.
    
    St Ann's on Lancaster St,( rt117) 
    Julie Country Day on 365 Lindell Ave
    
     Both are in the phone book.

    ooopsss...

Whitensville Christian School in Northbridge/Whitensville would be
an excellent choice. We placed our daughter there during the year we
lived in Ma. We found the school to be of very high standards and reasonably
priced for the area. The school is K-12 and the teacher Laura had for 6th
grade was tough, but fair and exactly what she needed. Kept her mind
off of missing Colorado.

They also have one of the best Suzuki music programs in the nation there.

    Thanks! Nope, I can certify that I am not a guy!
    
    No problem Nancy!
    
    RE: JCD and St. Anns/ Yes, I know of both of those schools. Looking for 
    something a little different but thanks anyway.

    The Assembly of God in Worcester has a K - 12 school in/near the
    church.
    
    My pastor's children go there and his wife teaches there - I'll try 
    to find out the proper name of the school this weekend and post it 
    here.

    P.S. Welcome to the conference Marjie!

    
    I don't believe the Assembly of God school in Worcester goes up to
    12th grade yet.  I believe their highest grade is 6th.  As I under-
    stand it they try to add a grade every year.

    My daughter has attended the First Assembly Christian Academy for
    the past two years.  They are indeed adding a grade every year and
    are starting grade 10 this year.
    
    It is a fine school, our daughter did very well! We had placed her
    there because she was being bullied by other students (and teachers!)
    in our Lancaster Middle school.  The turn-around in performance was
    *amazing*!!!
    
    This year, she's going to Nashoba Regional High school because we're
    out of bucks, getting her there every day was not fun (my wife and I
    both work at Shrewsbury) and we feel she'll do well at Nashoba.
    
    The Art'n'Drama teacher at F.A.C.A. is a dynamo! Very creative and
    enthusiastic.  Having our daughter involved in the drama and arts
    at F.A.C.A. has been a great experience.  Really brought her out of
    her shell!  F.A.C.A. has a very dedicated staff.

    re: .10  Art & Drama teacher is my pastor's wife....
             Robin Koroskenyi - she's terrific, very creative.
    
    

    Thanks for the information on Worcester Assembly. I graduated from 
    Nashoba Regional in Bolton. Send mail if you'd like more information
    regarding NRHS...  Anyway, transportation to most of these schools
    is proving to be very challenging. Currently I work in ZKO, there is
    rumour that we might be moving back to Littleton again but I just
    don't know right now.. School starts on the 31st in Leominster and I'm
    running out of time/options. 
    
    Keep sending any suggestions/information/whatever via mail as I don't
    always get a chance to get into the notes files during the day.
    
    I sincerely appreciate the information comming my way!
    
    Thanks again.

    While we're at it folks, how about christian schools in the Nashua
    area.
    
    We live about five minutes from the Milford rotary.
    
    Thx.,
    
    -Jack

There is a far better way.

See note 236.*

 RE .13...I'd recommend Victory Christian School in Londonderry, but it may be
 a good haul from Milford..but we have a lot of folks who bring their kids from
 Nashua..

    New Covenant Christian School in Ashland.  508-881-6844
    K-6
    
    
    

    My daughter graduated 10 years ago from Lexington Christian Academy. 
    I'm sure that there have been many changes over those years (I know 
    that there is a new Headmaster), but her experiences were mostly good
    ones.  
    
    If anyone is interested in sending a child to one of these private
    Christian schools, you should look into the availability of scholarships 
    to help with tuition.  The schools should have that information
    available.

We sent our son last year to Whitinsville Christian (7th grade) and are sending
him back this fall for 8th grade.  The school is over 50 years old and has approx-
imately 500 students enrolled from K-12.  For the first time in my son's school
life, he's had to study to get good grades.  Also, the teachers really seem to care
about the students.  This was a real switch from our public school (Jr./Sr. High).
Many of the graduating seniors have gone on to some very good colleges.  All in 
all, we have been very happy with the school.

Marjie,

My kids went there for a couple years, then due to $ and the long commute,
we put them in public school. They were in Grades 1 and 3 at TC, and they really
got a jump ahead of the public school. They tested a couple of years ahead of 
their grade level, after going there.

Some random comments :

The teachers at TC are fine, dedicated Christians who want your kids to
know Jesus, first and foremost. They have to do a LOT of homework. Bad 
behaviour is NOT tolerated. MUCH love and caring is shown to the kids.
The stuff I heard about too much legalism (from folks who didn't have kids
there) turned out to be baloney. Both my kids cried when we told them they
would have to go back to public school. They say they LOVED TC, even though
they were made to work much harder and accomplish much more.

FYI - we are members of Fitchburg Assembly of God (Pentecostal), but there were
no doctrinal issues with our Baptist brothers and sisters at TC.
They tend to give STRONG emphasis to knowing and living God's Word,
and NOT to quibble about doctrine.

I wish it worked out that we could keep our kids at TC, but we now feel that
God has prepared our kids for His purposes, and that they will be Lights in
the public school. We just moved to Milford, NH, and they will go to public
school there.

Dave
