Henry Zarrow International School

This school is a danger to children’s safety and mental health and should be shut down!

We have been here a year now and it's honestly the best school for my children..My son has went from never wanting to get up in the morning to walking to school!!Great school,highly recommend!

No he tenido ningún problema con mis hijos los tengo ahí de pk ahora ya está uno en 4 y el otro 5

locked my student in closets and empty offices for hours on end. Never cared for my student with severe Ptsd and instead contently yelled at her. Her last day there the principle threw my student's bag and other belongings into the trash. My student still suffers mental issues with trusting teachers and principals because of this school. If I could put negative stars I would. As a parent should never have to walk into a school and find half the staff yelling and threatening a 7 year old.I also had a niece go to this school until 5th grade. Her experience was horrible as they never did anything about bullying for her. She also mentioned being related to my student to the principal, instantly got even worse treatment.

Now that we have been away from the school for some time and our child has attended another school, I feel I can give a fair and honest review.One concern we experienced was a difference between what was said and what was actually practiced. We were excited to find a school that combined Christian values with an alternative approach to education. However, we later learned that not all staff members attended church. While attending church does not automatically make someone a Christian, it does provide opportunities for spiritual growth, accountability, and community. Because faith was an important factor in our decision, this was disappointing to discover.Another concern was academics. Our son was behind in a few subjects, and it was communicated to us that this was our responsibility to address. We ended up paying for tutoring to help him catch up and get back on track. We would have appreciated more support from the school in this area.We did not leave the school angry. We simply felt it was time for a change. It was only after moving to another school that we realized some of the support and communication we had been missing. The teachers we encountered were kind, caring, and well-intentioned, but there seemed to be a lack of academic support and leadership when additional help was needed. In our current experience, school leadership is more involved in helping students who are struggling academically.Looking back, we wish we had asked more questions before enrolling. This review is not meant to criticize individuals but to share our experience so that other families can make an informed decision.

Peace Academy Charter School on Candler Rd., is a definite disappointment. I could say more but, I'll just say do your research before enrolling.
