"... I was looking for a private school. ... I went to private middle schools and asked the question, 'Where are the great, enthusiastic kids coming from?' One school kept cropping up... Step By Step.  I was told by one Lutheran School educator, 'The low kids from Step by Step are high here. Average kids at Step by Step are high here, and the high kids form Step By Step are almost genius level here. Furthermore, they are happy, polite and enthusiastic....'

"The caring teachers at Step By Step voluntarily tutored him early in the mornings and after school in the evenings, enabling him to eventually catch up the 1.5 years behind that he was as a straight-A honor student in the prior public school.

"[My son] was given the Stanford test and tested 'post-high school' in his math (computation) skills. No one but Step by Step could have set the bar so high, nor helped him reach it...of this I am convinced. With strong academic focus, this school manages to provide a firm moral and ethical ground upon which our children grow in a spiritually nurturing environment."

"I would like [my daughter] to continue at Step by Step because of the integration of a strong academic program with a strong Christian background. The teachers at Step by Step are not only concerned with my child’s academic development, but with her spiritual and behavioral development as well. I know that she would not get this in public school. She is able to quote Bible verses, sing Christian songs, and has shown regard for others, as seen in her prayers. Her teacher, the principal, and staff are available and willing to help at any time. I also like the parent meetings that have started. I like the advice and guidance of raising children. I have also noticed an increase in healthy competitiveness in my daughter. She strives to do her best in everything, from handwriting to moving ahead on the math shelf. Step by Step has been a blessing to our family."
