  • We love SPJ. When our daughter comes home from school and talks about Jesus and Mary and Joseph, we know we made the right choice for our child. Her scores were in the 99% for the state of OH. To me that indicates SPJ does a great job of mixing academics and religon. Our son will be in K next year and their is no question where he will begin the academic career. Thanks SPJ!!!
