Seeking Private Christian School with Strong Academics & Extracurricular

My husband and I are looking for a private Christian school for our daughters, preferably in the Northern Austin area. We are looking for one that starts in Kindergarten and has a strong emphasis not only on Christian values and education, but also on academics & extracurricular activities. Of course, as with every parent, we want it all! :) We considered Regents, but it isn't quite the atmosphere that we are seeking. I would appreciate any input you could share!

What can I do next?

St. Andrew's is the best school in town. Chapel every day, theology classes, Spanish classes, Latin classes, and algebra by 7th grade. Pricey ... but you get what you pay for.

You might want to take a look at Summit Christian Academy. They are pre-K thru high school. They have two campuses, one in Cedar Park, one in Leander.

Don't know what you mean by North Austin, but here are some options I know of that I think meet your requirements: Hill Country Christian School is a traditional Christian school - they meet on the campus of Hill Country Bible Church NW off 620 near Lakeline Mall. Their website is www.hccsa.org.

Have you considered a University Model School or are you only looking for a traditional 5-day situation? Another option opening in the fall in the Leander area is Sterling Classical School. You can read about them at www.sterlingums.com. The UMS type is 3 days a week for older grades and 2 days a week for elementary grades, with kids working at home on the other days. Another 5 day school, but still different from a traditional school,is a self-paced school where the kids learn at their own pace - neither held back when their classmates are not 'getting' it nor pushed too fast when they are stuck at something. I've heard some good things about that one, as well. It is off 620 near Lakeline Mall - called Harbor Christian Academy. Their website is www.harborchristianacademy.net.

Hope this is helpful!

We go to Veritas and love it! I believe that it meets all of your criteria. it is a university Model School so the kids go to class 2-3 days a week and then we home school 2 days a week using curriculum provided by the school. It has been a wonderful experience for my 6 and 11 year olds because they are committed to academics, athletics AND character education, very supportive of you in your parenting endeavors, and walk alongside you as you seek to raise your children and teach them!

Have you looked at Redeemer Lutheran. They are K-8th and are located at 1500 W. Anderson lane. Both my kids went there (and so did I)they have been there for a long time and are very good both in academics and christianity. They are very loving and have a good student to teacher ratio.

We looked at Regents also and decided on Redeemer Lutheran School located at W. Anderson and Burnet for our son to attend next year. I hope this helps.

I have heard really good things about Brentwood Christian. It is located on North Lamar.

There is also Shoreline Christian School, located just off FM 1325.

Good luck!

My son has gone to Brentwood Christian School since preschool. We LOVE the school and all the people there!

My daughter goes to Brentwood Christian School on Lamar between Parmer and Braker. Please feel free to call me if you would like any information or questions. Take care and Blessings! T. ###-###-####
