It is truly a blessing to have my children attend this school! The teachers are like a family and the effort they put into the student’s IB education is exceptional. Very exciting to see the journey the school has been on and the direction it is going. Highly recommend to anyone Pre-K 3 through high school!

The early years program at CVWS is top-tier. Every single teacher and staff member treats the students as their own children-- greeting them by name, looking out for them on playground, and helping get them to and from class. Students are provided a breakfast snack, lunch, and afternoon snack and have circle time to begin the day. This is when the foundational lessons are laid & the integration of the IB Learner Profile occurs. The Units of Study focus on social-emotional learning, exploring, and play. All learning is conducted through play at this stage, and the stations & centers are filled with open-ended activities to develop a child's fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, & collaboration with others. There is a rotating schedule for art, Spanish, music, and theater, so the students are exposed to different forms of expression as well as a variety of safe adults from a very young age. The outdoor environment provides a safe space to explore & connect with nature & animals.

For our family we value the nurturing and holistic environment for our children to grow in God. The school fosters a strong sense of community, with passionate educators and a supportive atmosphere. The emphasis on inquiry-based learning and the integration of nature into the curriculum creates unique, enriching experiences for our elementary-age children. During our time at the school, it has grown tremendously in terms of campus, services, and students. Like any growing institution, there are opportunities to streamline communication between administration, staff, and us as parents to ensure clarity and consistency. When a concern does arise, the school is quick to talk and develop a plan together and stay connected to our children’s growth. We are excited that the school continues to grow into high school and expand its programming, such as athletics and career experiences, as our oldest was able to begin participating this year. Overall, the school’s focus on a values-driven education has allowed our children to grow academically and spiritually in a loving environment.

This IB school has completely reshaped my understanding of what education can be. Their innovative curriculum and inclusive environment are truly remarkable, creating a space where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired to grow. As a parent, I’m grateful to see my child thrive in an environment that prioritizes curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion, equipping them with the skills and mindset to navigate the world confidently.

Creation Village World School is a wonderful place where students can grow academically and personally. The school creates a positive and supportive atmosphere that helps kids feel comfortable while striving for success. With its strong focus on the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, students gain not only a great education but also valuable skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and global awareness. Outside the classroom, the school offers a variety of engaging clubs and athletic programs. These activities allow students to explore their interests, build confidence, and develop leadership abilities. Whether through sports, arts, or service projects, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and learn from. The school is committed to helping students achieve at a high level while also growing as individuals. Creation Village World School truly prepares its students for bright futures in a well-rounded and supportive community.

I enrolled my child at Creation Village World School with high expectations, hoping for a nurturing environment with strong academic and social values. Unfortunately, our experience has not met those expectations.First, communication from the school has been inconsistent and frustrating. Important updates about school events, closures, and changes in curriculum were often relayed last-minute, leaving parents scrambling to adjust plans. Additionally, when issues arise in the classroom, it's challenging to get timely responses from staff, and even then, the feedback is often vague and lacks concrete solutions.The curriculum itself seems underwhelming. Although the school emphasizes a holistic, balanced approach, I found that academics sometimes took a back seat to less impactful activities, leaving my child inadequately prepared compared to their peers in other schools. The emphasis on individualized learning sounds great in theory, but in practice, it has led to a lack of structure, with my child often feeling unchallenged and disengaged.Class sizes also seem to be larger than what was advertised, which has had a noticeable impact on my child’s ability to get the personalized attention they were promised. Teachers seem overwhelmed, and the support staff doesn't seem equipped to handle issues that arise in real-time.While I appreciate the idea of a global, values-based education, in reality, it feels like this school is struggling to deliver on its promises. We expected a community-oriented environment but found a lack of consistency and accountability. I wouldn’t recommend Creation Village World School if you are looking for strong academics and reliable communication.

Creation Village World School has been one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve encountered. The leadership is highly unprofessional, as the Head of the School (who is both the owner and the principal) and the Head of the Mission (the owner's wife) have virtually no background in education. Aside from the owner teaching English in Shanghai for two years, neither has any real educational experience. They hire uncertified teachers to teach classes, or worse, assign certified teachers to subjects they’re not qualified for. For example, a PE-certified teacher was asked to teach 7th-grade math, and he frequently had to ask for help from other math teachers due to his lack of subject knowledge.Creation Village World School only seems to care about money. As long as a family can pay, they’ll accept any student, regardless of their academic background or educational experience. There's no real focus on maintaining academic standards or fostering a supportive learning environment. The admissions process feels more like a business transaction than a commitment to quality education.With unqualified staff and priorities that are completely out of line with what a school should be, it's clear they're more interested in filling seats for profit than in students' growth and success. I will be withdrawing my child and cannot recommend this school to anyone who values a strong, meaningful education.The curriculum at Creation Village falls far below state standards. Instead of focusing on academics, students spend an excessive amount of time on "reflection" or performing chores for the school. They are required to clean classrooms and care for the school’s animals daily. The school even forces students to participate in 4-H, a program designed to teach farming skills. We did not pay tuition to have our children trained as maids or farmers!I will be removing my child from this school and cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone—unless, of course, you’re looking for a farming or housekeeping education.

Students spend too much time on gardening, taking care of school animals, stewardship, and theater, instead of focusing on academics. They informed parents that students do not need to take EOC tests because it's a private institution. However, the school did not adequately research the fact that some top colleges require academic scores. CKV students' academic performance is significantly below average. Moreover, CKV has many uncertified teachers. Several classroom teachers were substitutes from the nearby public school (Celebration K8 School). The school invests time and money into building new buildings and an auditorium but lacks in hiring qualified teachers or supporting staff. Most support staff end up as classroom teachers' replacements since many teachers are leaving. The school plans to completely stop using the state curriculum. Many of us have raised concerns, asking questions like, 'What if a student transfers to another school, perhaps a public school? How can students be successful at their new schools without a curriculum?' The school's response has been dismissive, stating, 'This is not our problem.'

Our 4-year old daughter loves Creation Village World School. Facilities are modern and clean. Classrooms have a main and assistant teacher. Lots of toys, activities, books and coloring. School has a full time security guard which I love. There are also Spanish teachers, music teachers, Physical education teacher's along with a fun playground area, auditorium and farm area where the students grow plants and food along with taking care of chickens and goats. It’s a Christian based school. All staff and faculty seem wonderful. They have a social media app and try to upload photos and videos from class every day so parents know what is happening in school. Tuition is $285 a week for a full time 8am-3pm student. They have early drop off and late pick up available for an additional fee. It’s walking distance to the celebration library, so we often get new books after school to read at bedtime. The only downsides is that I wish they had a security camera in each classroom to record any incidents or allow parents to check on their children. Also, the school charges you an extra 3% processing fee on all payments which should typically be covered by the business, not the customer.
