Parkwood Elementary

Students are excited to come to school. The expectation to succeed is high and it is evident in the growth that students make from the beginning of the year until the end. Teachers are a family here and work together to support all of our students. When students walk down our hall they are greeted by every teacher and are made to feel loved and wanted by all. I live closer to other elementary schools but choose to teach here because of the environment and dedication of every teacher here.

My daughter has been going to MCS for 9 years!!! She started as a toddler and is now in upper elementary in the 5th grade. My daughter is thriving!! The teachers here and the Montessori Philosophy have instilled a major love for learning in my daughter. From a young age she learned what it meant to be a leader and a role model. I see this now as she visits the younger children to read or share one of her projects with them. She loves it and they love it. She is so confident and I attribute this to the teachers willingness to let her dive deep into subjects that she loves, to offer opportunities for collaboration and innovation. We had the most 2 difficult years personally and the one constant for her has been this school which feels like family to her. She has excelled here, even skipped a grade because she finished all the materials in the lower elementary classroom. MCS offers individualized education based on where the children are. I am grateful to all the teachers and staff who commit their time to creating an environment that my daughter absolutely looks forward to going to!

Staff here are treated like trash and expected to do more than what they applied for. All for the sake of everyone being “family” and doing it for god. What a joke, this school takes advantage of staff and upper management supports it. Not worth the insane price it offers. This school is worth no one’s time, not as a student or staff. Your time, energy, and effort will go unappreciated

Both of my kids attended JCA from K4 to 12th. I am so thankful for the teachers that poured into my kids and prayed for them. If you're looking for a school where your kids can grow academically and spiritually, where they can interact with other Christian students and learn in a small classroom environment, where they can have an opportunity to play sports , and where the staff pray over your kids and genuinely love them, JCA is the school for you! Best Christian School in Onslow County BY FAR!
