I am a graduate of EPA and the people who think this school is anything less than above any other curriculum or atmosphere are too ignorant to see whats in front of them.

The only things the teachers require are a good attitudes and a want or even willingness to learn. The people who don't enjoy EPA are the ones who don't want to put any effort into learning. This school is God's plan and it will prosper. Go Patriots! Read less

I am a former student at EPA and Id have to say that this school is not a good school for anyone above 4th grade.The education offered to us was not good at all and we couldnt learn as much because we only had subjects that should be required such as English,Science,and History for half a year. I found

This school is awesome. It has changed so much over the past two years. The new faculty members are wonderful as well as the new principal. Our children have thrived in the environment and are doing exceptionally well on standardized tests.

In the nine years that our two children have attended EPA, we have watched them grow confident in their ability to learn and strong in their Christian faith. Their teachers have challenged them academically and have contacted us when they were concerned about our children's progress. Our children have

Our headmaster is new to EPA this year and is a fair and consistent disciplinarian. Contrary to another review, there are no 'owners' of EPA. EPA is governed by a Board of Directors that does not benefit monetarily from the school; in fact, the opposite is true. EPA tuition is very reasonable compared to many other private schools, and EPA's SAT scores are great. In our opinion, the tuition we pay to EPA each month is one of the best investments we can make in our children's lives. Read less

I am a parent who had one child attending EPA. I agree with others who have said that the headmaster pays parents a lot of lip service and no real action.

Many of the parents have come to the conclusion that this is because they do not want to upset the parents who donate the most time and money to the school 'the clique'. While I have nothing against a christian based education, in my experience, that is all you really get here. Average education at best. Read less

I have read some of the reviews posted previously, and would just like to say that our family is not a wealthy family but our children have always been treated with love, and kindness.

We're human trying to make the best school that we can for our children, keep in mind that the staff of this school are also parents of some of these children. God Bless EPA! Read less
