First and foremost, I want to thank you for your interest in private schools in Bend and ours in particular, Morning Star Christian School. It is rewarding to know that although current economic times are difficult at best, we as a school continue to grow. Along with the augmentation of our student body, we have a highly qualified team of teachers who dedicate themselves to providing an academically rigorous learning environment, where time is set aside daily to meet with each child. While other schools continue to experience overcrowded classrooms, we have been able to maintain an average class size of 13, which allows teachers to insure a high quality education for all of their students. Our school is growing in several areas, both academically and extracurricular: we offer both Spanish and German foreign language programs, art, music, and a school-wide writing initiative. Students are given the opportunity to participate in fun, educational field trips throughout the year, and grades 5-8 enjoy an extended overnight field trip at the end of the year. An equally important aspect of growing future leaders is to engage our students in local community service projects. This supplements the students in giving them a well-rounded education.
Morning Star is an affordable private Christian school, and it would be an honor to have you come tour our school. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or stop at the school and ask.
Educationally Yours,
Joe Bales
