    Our two youngest children began attending this fall. We have been so pleased with the transition. Teachers really care and helped identify learning issues. It’s been a good move for our family.

    FAITH is an academically challenging and spiritually uplifting school for kids of all ages. The families and staff that make up this community is outstanding. I highly recommend people of Wausau choosing FAITH to educate their kids.

    I graduated from faith and found myself very well prepared for college life. I’m still friends with several of the staff and teachers from FAITH and I am so thankful for the way they invested in my life when I was a teenager!
