Don't we want our children to be held to high standards, it builds their character and values. The love and support that the students receive is incredible, and undescribable. I can't say enough about Morninside Christian Academy. Read less

There are things I really like about this school and there are things I really dislike about this school. Things I like: my son is learning a lot, far above the public schools. Things I don't like: it seems they want money all the time. Every time I turn around I'm handing money over to them for something:

So if you think you pay the overpriced tuition and that's it, think again, nothing is included. Like if you forget to turn in the money on time for an art project, then kid just sits there while everone else get to do it. Read less

Not a good value at all. Do your research before you enroll your child. Some of the kids who attend public school after attending Morningside have a hard time adjusting to public school. They become too sheltered. Which may sound like a good thing, but the kids do have to eventually live in the real

I have 2 children that attend MA for the five years. I have been nothing but pleased with the school the entire time of their attendance. My children love going to school.

This year I am very happy that they will be offering dual enrollment classes at no additional charge for 11th and 12th graders. They offer much more than other private schools in the area. At the lower school, they have Spanish, orchestra, choir, drama, and will probably be adding a chess club this year. My children's class sizes have been around 20 every year. My children will be staying in this school until they graduate. Read less

This is a fabulous school and our daughter will continue there for 3rd grade. Unlike public schools, she can celebrate Christmas, Easter, and other holidays. Computer, Spanish, art, music, PE, violin (optional) & chapel are part of her regular curriculum every week. She takes piano lessons too. Did

The upper school is in semi-permanent Modulars, not trailers, and a full size gymnasium with classrooms, large cafeteria, etc. will be under construction soon. Computers are in every class, the science & computer labs are being expanded & sports. The school instills values into the children, not overly strict practices. If you could see the children during assemblies or in classrooms, you would see behaved, well mannered, happy children. Read less

I would not send my child to MA again (she was there or 5 years) ....it is not worth the money! PSL's public school are just as good. If you can teach the Bible and good values at home your child will be much better served in a public school.

Morningisde Academy's Upper School is an absolutely terrible high school experience. The students sit in trailers (yes, they are trailers) for all their classes, the academics are very unchallenging, and the many of the teachers really don't put that much care into their students. There is little to

I have no child in the Lower School, so I can't comment on the lower school part of Morningside. I would strongly suggest you look at others schools before sending your child to such a school. Don't be fooled by the Lower School, Morningside's Upper School is downright horrible. Read less
