Bradford Academy

Jennifer Darragh was my child's teacher. She messaged me on DOJO because my kid wasn't following what she was teaching. She asked if my child had a head injury or ADHD. Imagine saying that to a parent of your student. He had neither. He needed glasses and had expressed he couldn't see the board. She accused him in front of his classmates of drinking all the water because he asked for a bottle and she forgot to give it to him so he waited 3 hours and worked up the courage to ask a 2nd time. I sent his own case of waters so not to further agitate his adult teacher. She told him he couldn't sharpen his pencil and when he was shoved 3 days in a row during reading group, she would not move him to another group despite bullying. The school refused to move his class, so we pulled him out of school as my child was being bullied by his own teacher and I needed to know he was OK and considered for 6 hours a day. That same child is now in GCA, 4H, Junior Civitans, plays sports, and maintains straight As. I will never forget this experience because Jennifer Darragh leaves a stark contrast between herself and every other educator that my child has ever had. If your kid gets Jennifer Darragh- RUN!!!!!!!!!! She is not only a bad educator, she is incredibly cruel. Look into her history.

My children and I are more than pleased with this school and the staff. We love it!

I can’t possibly list all the wonderful attributes of this lovely school! Our son and daughter have been attending Bradford for nearly three years, and for the first time in their school lives, they are genuinely excited about going to school. The classical education format is both engaging and challenging. The teachers are exceptionally knowledgeable, well-prepared, and highly educated. The school staff truly cares about the students as individuals. My kids feel loved, appreciated, and respected. The curriculum is unapologetically God-centered, and the school environment is family-oriented, with many teachers having their own children enrolled. Students are gradually given more responsibilities and freedom as they mature. They also have plenty of opportunities to participate in sports and develop their athletic abilities. Families are actively engaged in sports events, family gatherings, school recitals, and more. As I mentioned at the beginning, I can’t possibly cover all the good things about this school.
