Calhoun Academy Of The Arts

This school is great I went there from k5-5th grade!

-Church based school-Non-certified teachers (mom's from the church) and only one per subject. If you don't get their style of teaching, you've wasted your time. There is no additional help provided. My child comes home crying often due to being humiliated in class by a teacher. The "Headmaster" is spineless and takes no action to address.-Good sports opportunities-Bullying comes from the parents, not the children/students. The amount of judging and gossiping is immeasurable, especially from the parents that are associated with the church.-Homework is piled on purposefully to give the impression it's an academically challenging school. However, given the quality of teachers, its merely a smokescreen.-Constantly haggling about giving more money- We attend only because this is the least of the 2 evils between here and Public school and the kids have friends there. Anderson has no other good private options.

I cannot say enough good things about this school/daycare. I rarely do reviews but felt like I needed to for this one. As a parent, it's hard finding someone to trust fully with your children. I am fully trusting in this staff with both of my boys! They have went here for school and now in the summer for daycare. They treat the kids like they are their own. I would recommend this place to anyone!!!!! Amazing place and staff!

As a middle school teacher at St. Joseph Catholic School, I am blessed to be able to educate children in a faith-filled environment. We pray before every class and all the teachers integrate the Catholic Faith into every lesson. The values of faith and knowledge are seen in the actions of all the children; all of the children are respectful and helpful to the teachers and other children. The middle school children are shining examples to the younger children and the younger children are always respectful and joyful! As a teacher, I am privileged to know my middle school students, but I also know the younger children. I know almost all of the students by name. St. Joseph is academically excellent; the curriculum goes beyond the state standards. St. Joseph is a blessed place where challenging academics and a strong faith-filled environment are seen everyday.

I have attended this school since I was two years old and wouldn’t have it any other way. The small classroom sizes force students to learn how to interact effectively with others in an interpersonal environment, which is something you can’t get at a large public school.
