The school is definitely not worth the amount they are charging parents for.

My child attended this institution for 2 years and I was not impressed. There is a disconnect between the administration and the staff. The school appearance needs improvement. There needs to be a better selections made when hiring staff (make sure staff has the appropriate certifications to teach). There is no set curriculum or syllabus given out at the beginning of the year to be able to gage where your child should be with learning throughout the year. There is no emphasis on teaching Pre-K (4 yr. olds) to read. The last month of school this year, my child had to turn in 3 class projects so we had to rush to complete this instead of them being spread out throughout the year. There was only 2 PTO meetings held the entire school year this year....the others were disguised as PTO meetings but really just a ploy to get parents out to support the Elementary school age kids' awards ceremony. The fundraisers are done last minute...meaning, it is announced and then you are left with a week or two until the money is due to be turned in therefore causing the fundraiser to be unsuccessful or have low participation. There are lots of teachers who visibly have no patience for children and on several occasions I have overheard the tone in which they take with the kids which is not cool. They do not provider a scheduled orientation where you go in at the beginning of the year and meet the child's teacher, take a school tour, etc. This school needs some serious restructuring. The only value in this school is that it did provide my child with a basic understanding of Christian principles and he really enjoys that aspect of it.
