“Our Redeemer has been such a blessing to our family. To watch faith grow in our children’s hearts has been amazing, starting as small preschoolers and kindergarteners and culminating with their personal testimonial of faith during their Confirmation. They’ve been nurtured and loved by the teachers and staff, and now they are equipped to go out into the world and share their faith with others.”
— Nancy, mother of 4

Relationships are fostered over two years with the classroom teacher. Varied groupings can be utilized across grade levels. Multi-age classrooms mirror student interactions in the real world. The curriculum design supports multi-age learning environments. Classrooms adopt a family-feel as students alternate being the oldest students in the room, to the youngest the next year.
