Both of my boys attend QPA and they love it! The academics are superior, the teachers are more than dedicated, and the school spirit is unlike any other school I have experienced. What I love the most is the faith based education. My kids bring faith home to me. I love to hear the kids sing 'We Believe'.

The spiritual presence at Queen of Peace Catholic Academy is one I have never experienced before. Due to my job, I have had the privilege of visiting most public and private schools in North Central Florida and none surpass the quality of the diverse education at Queen of Peace Academy. I am honored

It is true that the public school system receives specific funds to serve ALL children; QPA does not receive this same funding, but does an excellent job in delivering appropriate accommodations when needed. I highly recommend QPA to all parents who want a high quality education grounded in social justice. Read less

My children have attended Queen of Peace Catholic Academy since the 2nd year they opened. The school has proven growth, and consistently scores in the top 10% percent in the Nation. The students, parents, staff and administration have a great deal of respect and compassion for each other, and it is apparent

We are blessed that the children of the Academy are given an environment to grow in that is safe and conducive to learning. The lack of tolerance for inappropriate behavior is very much appreciated. The school reinforces what we as parents teach at home and my husband and I could not be more proud of who my children are becoming. Read less

They will not always help everyone no matter who you are. God may have created all children, but if they end up developing out of the norm they are neither equipped nor highly motivated to do anything constructive to support that child. My child was labeled a problem because of behaviors that stemmed

Also, a lot of Gainesville affluent families attend this parrish and/or school that heavily influences the overall attitudes of the to seem more what I would expect from Oak Hall Prep School rather than a humble institution of God. I am also disappointed in a lack of reaching out or support of any kind during a family crisis that was well known to enough staff. If you have a more superficial frame of mind and your children are in the box you'll probably think its a great choice...no offense intended. Read less

This school is just what it says it is: A faith based, nourishing and enrichening experience for today's children. No where else could my child have gone from being 'the class clown' in Pre-K, to a Duke TIP recipient in 5th grade. My child has been shown the correct path of travel to succeed in life.
... Read more Thank you very, very much Queen of Peace Academy. None of the negative responses here by other parents should be given a lot of weight. If they would have toughed it out, their reviews would have been very different. At QPA they care about ALL of the children. In life there will probably always be victims and bullies. At QPA, they want to empower and care for a victim. But they also want to help the bully become a loving and caring student. QPA will always help everyone no matter who you are. Read less

Well, the education was alright, but the teachers, staff, and members were terrible. They we're very unkind, rude, and disrespectful. They take the smallest infraction and turn it into the biggest deal. They over react to just about anything. Definitely not recommended. We actually took our sons out

At QPA my children have been given the opportunity to learn not just the academic subjects, but how to serve others as well. Our academic programs are excellent, and this year we have added Chinese to our foreign language curriculum. We offer music, band, chorus as part of our music curriculum, art,
