Minnetonka West Middle School

Chapel Hill Academy is an amazing school! The head of the school, the teachers and all the staff are so nice, good with the kids and are always willing to help or answer any questions. I highly recommend Chapel Hill Academy.

We sent our kids to St. John's because we supported the Catholic Montessori style. But after nearly a decade of our family being part of this community we had no choice but to pull them midyear.Our children often brought up concerns to staff but were consistently dismissed or ignored with little to no follow through. Over time our kids stopped speaking up, having learned it fell on deaf ears. Discipline was applied inconsistently, with consequences depending on a family's connection to the administration rather than the conduct itself.When our special needs daughter was physically attacked by a younger student, the student was shielded from consequences outlined in the school's own handbook. The moral environment among students was not consistently in line with Catholic teaching and conduct was often not addressed.We were loyal to this school through a lot and tried out best to make things work. Sadly, it just continued to get worse.

We were struggling with public schools to see that our daughter was ready for Kindergarten. Mr. Limmel (Principal) had us meet with the kindergarten teacher and she also felt our daughter was ready too! It is now school year end and our daughter has learned so much, not only in the classroom but about herself! The staff geniunely care about your child and will do anything to help them succeed!
