REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe student there seem to really love it, the campus is beautiful and the classes are small enough for one on one learning so you don't feel left behind. The school offers many various programs all with an underlying message of faith and God.
Kourinthia from Tulare, CA
Always introduce yourself and make an impression, it's a small campus so you'll be remembered or at least recognized.
Angelina from Fresno, CA
A beautiful Christian community with nothing but nice genuine people, professors at the top of their academic game, and a relaxed campus a home away from home.
Acacia from Fresno, CA
The atmosphere at this school is so welcoming. The admissions counselors and everyone on campus is so friendly. It is small (extremely small almost the size of a high school but that just makes it more personable and easy to get around in) and close knit community.
