NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you want to send your children to the elementary side, the people are nurturing and consistently just. However, after the 5th grade, I would not recommend this school at all. Most of the adults are rigid, unChrist-like and disrespectful to parents. To be plain, they do not partner with parents in helping your child. Your child will be sanctioned without input from you and if you question their ways, they make it hard for your child to feel safe and succeed with a clear slate. Adults share your child's information with other teachers and admin smirks if your child gets written up, at least that's what my son witnessed with himself. I used to be an advocate for this school; however, my support of PCS has changed significantly after attending the middle school. I would suggest you have your child attend a school where they actually listen to the student, care about their progress and value communication with the parent to be restorative versus punitive. The middle school could be compared to reform school, not a Christian school. Pick another middle school.Parent Review2y ago14 Reviews - Christopher Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had the privilege of having several children attend this school over the years. It’s clear that the children truly enjoy their time here and form meaningful relationships with teachers and peers. The pre-K program is exceptional; my own kids have thrived in it, often progressing far ahead of public school standards. Sometimes, that progress has prompted us to choose to bring the children back to this school when considering public options. The school is blessed with a compassionate Pastor who genuinely cares about the children’s well-being and is constantly working to improve the facility, incorporating more modern principles. Their carefully structured curriculum is thoughtfully implemented, and many of the teachers treat each child with deep care and respect, often connecting with them as if they were their own. My children haven’t faced any major issues here, aside from everyday childhood experiences. Of course, personality differences and opinions can arise anywhere, but overall, I believe this school is truly excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend it. The tuition is reasonable, especially for families with multiple children, as they offer discounts per child with a cap to prevent overpayment. The support staff is attentive and devoted, which is exactly what you want when entrusting your precious children to someone else. I prefer caregivers who are detail-oriented and committed to protocol over those who are laissez-faire. The school has made many improvements over the years and remains dedicated to its mission of continuous growth and improvement.Well, we’ve not had the pleasure of going too far. I can say without equivocation that their pre-K program up through second grade is exceptional. They really stress education and push the kids to do and be their best. Just like anywhere, you have to get accustomed to traditions, but faith is a big part of this. My children bring home many of those principles that we are still at home and that they learn at school.Parent Review3w ago13 Reviews - Toras Chaim
