Schools in Champaign, IL

“I'm definitely biased because I work here but I love GSLIS. Coming off of a BS at the University of Illinois, I was really wary of another huge campus, small fish in a big pond experience. However, this school is nestled very nicely within the larger University administration without all of the anonymity of most programs. I was able to get an assistantship in my first year (with the fabulous Help Desk) and found that most classes were insightful and well timed. I look forward to seeing where this school is headed and will always remain a proud alumna!”

“Excellent school. Holy Cross offers good academics a very friendly and supportive environment based on Christian values. Students are taught to be independent, confident and competent. An important focus is community involvement for students and parents. Students at HCS grow up to be effective citizens who contribute more than they take from society!”

“We are truly blessed to have found this Day care. If you want your child to be loved and cared for and have a great education this is the place that you want to go. The staff is very loving and compassionate about everything that they do. Sometimes you go to these other day care centers and you wonder what is going on if your child, if they are being treated OK, what's going on after you leave. I never had that feeling at this day care because you could tell by the way the staff treats you and how excited your kid is to go to the school that you know that they are taken care of. If we were not moving I would keep my son Austin in Happi Time Daycare until he started kindergarden. I encourage anybody wants to put their child in day care to take a tour of this place before they even look at any other place and you will see the difference from the get go, the difference from hello. God-bless everyone that works there you really put our minds as a parent at ease.”

“An outstanding Christ Centered church! When we moved to town we started looking around for churches and went here the first chance we got. After that, we became members and have been attending weekly for the past 2 yrs. Great church to get involved with and to worship and learn about God.”
