Bayshore Christian School

I am both a teacher and a parent of a student here at Fairhope East (previously known as Fairhope Intermediate). I love our school and love that my child attends FEES! We have both had the best experiences here. I have seen my child grow in so many ways! It is such a blessing to be in a school where you truly feel like you are family.

The principal, Terry Beasley, bullied teachers and families. Classes were stacked, and the administration and certain teachers favored affluent/influential families; it was a popularity contest. There were constant fundraisers. The academics in each class varied significantly, from subject matter to grades to daily activities. No cohesiveness. No consistency managing discipline at all. Some classes were extremely well behaved while others ran competely amuck with no consequences. Props to those teachers leading their classes by modeling respect and self control. Shame on those who look the other way so they don't have to deal with it and who at times participate in the bad behavior themselves.

Words cannot describe how much our family loves ESECC! Carol Saltz runs a phenomenal program. Our daughter adores going to school there. The teachers are compassionate and care so much about each child. We can't wait for our son to get to go there, as well, and get to experience what our daughter has. ESECC nurtures the child's developmental needs in addition to providing an excellent educational foundation & fostering a love of learning!

Our son will attend Christ the King in the fall for Kindergarten. We are excited as all of the teachers and staff have been incredible in the process leading up to the first day of school in the upcoming weeks. Our son sometimes can be nervous of new situations and experience and everyone has been so accommodative in making him feel welcome so far.The classrooms, curriculum and facilities are of the highest quality and we are excited that they are building a new athletic facility for him to enjoy as he matures.I attended catholic schools in Mobile (K-8) as a child and I am elated that my son will have a similar path being able to experience a small catholic school environment in the Mobile/Eastern Shore area. Additionally, coupled with the new Catholic High School (St. Michaels), my son will potentially be able to grow and learn with his classmates for the next 12 years!
