I LOVE EWA - We have been at the school for over two years and it is great. The teachers truly love what they do and care about the kids. The head master is amazing and the programs are varied and challenging and engaging for the kids. Parent involvement is highly expected and appreciated. I can't

My children entered EWA from a private school environment. What we learned from the private school is 'show us the money', don't bother trying to be involved in the classroom--we'll take care of your child, and if your child needs additional academic help learning a concept -- that is what 'tutors'

There is no cost, no 'class conflicts' because all of the children wear the same uniforms....parent involvement is welcomed and if your child needs help, the teacher's are wonderful to offer it. What a blessing to be able to send my children to the same school from Kindergarten through 12th grade! No concerns of reassignments or children at separate schools or schedules! I wish there were more options like this for parents -- May the Lord continue to bless the school, the teachers and the administrators! Read less

It is a priviledge to be a EWA family! After waiting for more than two years on the waiting list I can honestly say that its worth the wait! The teachers at EWA are not only certified but they love teaching and most importantly they love the students. The family atomosphere is second to none - the

The cost of uniforms is a drop in the bucket compared to what you would pay elsewhere to attend a private college prep k-12 school. Discipline issues are handled promptly and are not tolerated. While the teachers are loving, kind and patient persistant classroom disruptions are not an option at EWA. My children have received afterschool academy services for EOG prep, math tutoring, etc. All of these services are offered by their teachers at no cost....find that somewhere else! EWA = Great!

EWA has been a tremendous blessing to our family. We have been extremely pleased with the education our son has received.
