Gateway Legacy Christian Academy

My school is Called Lift For Life Academy A Chapter. SCHOOL I WENT TO central before I Was In 2Nd /4th Grade I had A Twin Brother Name Kylon I Guess You Don't Remember. MY mom Keva. She passed Away on Feb; 8 2014

If this school had more resources they would be able to do more for the children, I have dealt with a few very hard working teachers that give 110% everyday.

Worst Private School Experience, we do not recommend OLG School. Our child had an IEP which we understand is not treated the same on the Private school level. But, despite us emailing the school that there was an IEP and the school from last year sending over school records. They were not aware of the IEP or so they claimed. Our child was bullied by another student and for some reason the School did not feel it was a big deal. There are no discipline procedures in place (i.e. 1st occurrence in school suspension, 2nd occurrence suspension, up to and including expulsion). Instead there seems to be more of a focus on profits/tuition. An expelled child means less revenue, so regardless of your child having issues, it will be swept under the rug. Escalating concerns to the administrative office falls on unconcerned territory....requests for meetings get placed on the backburner. We felt that the tenured students got preferential treatment when issues are reported and new students get detained and questioned as if they were the instigator. We did not have a good experience with OLG, it was nothing but stress and a high level of disregard. Even up to and including requesting to withdraw our child. FACTS, which is the tuition company would not close the account per our request and the school needed to notify FACTS. We were still receiving statements from FACTS, we never contacted FACTS to setup the payment plan, the school set it up on our behalf. We ended up involving the Attorney General to get some type of resolution. All that happened was that the Archdiocese legal counsel sent a very sarcastic reply that they are not obligated to work with FACTS to close accounts. We had spoken with another family that had issues with OLG not closing their FACTS account and they were not able to get transcripts for their children, it was long drawn out issue and we did not want to be in that scenario and tried to stay on top of the issue. The dismissal is very unorganized when it is cold or raining. One day you walk in and can go a certain route to pick up your child. Literally, the next day if you try going the same route some self-entitled staff member will scold you like you are a student and tell you not to walk that way and to go another way. They make up rules as they go along. We sent an email to the regional director in Dec 2023 and her auto reply said she was out in July 2023. We are sure families love OLG, we are not one of those families!

Overall, we love St. Ann! We transferred from another area Catholic school due to the former school's non-commitment to safety and structure to my child. I only wish we had known about St. Ann sooner!! My child started off play soccer against, then for St Ann. We were so impressed with the students and familys, we made the decision to transfer to St. Ann. My child does not feel like an outsider because she started St. Ann in grade 3, but like a valued addition. She has made friends fast with both her grade and others.

my child loves going to school here, I love the staff, if I have a question for the teacher I get a response almost immediately, there is a great sense of community.

Awesome Learning system. Teachers care about their students education.
