I like the small, close-knit, Christian environment.  The teachers are the main reason we are at the school. They truly care about the students and help my children learn academics and morals on a daily basis.

What makes Gloria Dei special is the people.  The teachers, students, and other workers are extremely helpful and share the love of Christ with each other on a daily basis.

-we have palm trees on campus!  plus very interesting spider webs near the music room
-we've got a wonderful secretary with a bonus New Yorker accent
-our registrar collects hello kitty memorabilia
-the coffee never runs out
-the teachers get to have devotions and meet every morning together
-parents can rest assured their children are in a safe environment...unless the coffee ever DOES run out...
-we work together as a school and a church, combining our efforts
-and last but not least, we have a wonderful leader as a principal!

And that's my list...off the top of my head...at the end of the day.  That's why ya got the funny responses.

Because attending school at Gloria Dei is more than just going to school - It is coming to know Christ, as well as academics.
