Connection Pointe Christian Academy

My daughter attended second, third and will be going to fourth grade here. For the last two years, she was assigned to a teacher who I believe was not qualified to hold her position. There was no attention to detail and she had no idea how to help my child learn. Despite all my child’s paperwork clearly outlining her disability, the teacher assigned to her case didn’t realize she had a disability until I pointed it out to her. That in itself was unacceptable to me. I’m addition to that, there is really no sense of community at this school. There was no class website, no parent group chat…for the first time I felt like I was in the dark about what was going on in the class room.

Everyone in the office are rude, they don't listen and or care. This place is horrible. Just glad my child no longer goes here

For a school with such a diverse student body, the front office completely lacks diversity and they are not the friendliest.

I absolutely hate this school can’t wait to move out the district in December. I have a child with high functioning autistic. The decisions they have attempted to make for my child have done more harm than good.

Excellent school with great faculty and staff.

Our Middle School child has attended Whitefield now going on 3 years. Previously, our child attended AIS and Morris Brandon. I'm a graduate of Lovett. My wife attended a public school out of state. We returned to Atlanta partially to send our child to the AIS experience-- probably the most unique among private schools in ATL. While foreign language fluency was certainly a bonus, the bullying, overt displays of wealth, and constant political engagement (even at the preschool level) pushed us to switch to APS. The Brandon years for us were COVID, and our child was routinely receiving 100s for just showing up. We felt that public school education was geared toward the lowest achiever, not a great fit.We applied to many of the ATL private schools, and he was accepted or waitlisted at most. We chose Whitefield due to its mission--which is safe learning, within the context of Christian morality, in a supportive environment. We also wanted a school that was a socio-economic mix. Many of the WF families seem to hold similar ideals. Similarly, most of the faculty aligns with the mission--with a large portion actually coming from Westminster-- who universally say they left for the mission. Our experience with Whitefield is consistent with the mission - sometimes for worse, but most often for better. Since attending, the school has removed several families that did not fit the mission (some wealthy, some not). However, the school actively teaches such age-old concepts as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"--and WF lives by this. My child actually came home one day repeating this from a school lesson. He also had a couple of challenges with other children--which the school immediately addressed positively for all involved.The school has also experienced faculty turnover-- however, this turnover was notably less than AIS - we've been told most schools experience quite a bit of turnover these days--especially in recent years. Furthermore, the trend we have witnessed is a continuous uptick in quality replacement.No doubt that WF is not perfect. But, if you are looking for an environment that attempts to instill confidence in your own child's learning identity while empowering acceptance of differences--within a Christian morality context: WF is an excellent school to begin the journey.
