I loved most of the teachers at Brethren, and eventually I was accepted as a part of the class...

This small school has been underestimated. It has a staff that is innovative and a "family" school climate that builds student success. Many students earn scholarships to colleges throughout the state and cutting edge methodology and technology keep it one of the best. It is a "Points of Light School" and renowned for civic education and service learning.
