REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingSan Diego Christian College is a beautiful institution. The academia is that of a liberal arts college, but it is distinctive with its motivational faculty. It is unlike any school I've heard of, and its unique, albeit unorthodox, methodology is refreshing, constructive, and revolutionary.
