Student Success

"When our children graduated from the 8th grade from the Academy, their academic level surpassed other school levels and their faith was solid on the foundation of the word of God. Because of this foundation, they could have easily transitioned to any school setting and been successful. We were grateful for the impact that the Academy teachers made on our children! Their faith walk and hard work produced a successful outcome in our children's lives."
  - AOE Parents of two AOE graduates 

"AOE has been worth every cent. We loved the school already, but when our daughter recited the pledge of allegiance while driving by an American Flag, we knew we had made the best decision."  - Current AOE Prek Family
