My 3 kids have gone for five years.The PACE curriculum is difficult for kids, who need instruction.Most kids need instruction- and the PACE system is more of an independent style of learning with self-grading (they grade their own paces).The instruction in the classroom is minimal because everyone is doing their own PACE (subject matter). Kids are bringing hours of homework home, and needing tutoring to “catch up” with basic math lessons that they should be taught in the classroom, not left to figure it out for themselves.

My son attended from grades 3 to 8. Was a wonderful experience until he hit Jr. High. I don't recommend any school having the same teacher teach the same group of kids consecutively. Esp. if that teacher was not the best. Also the pandemic was not good for kids esp. if they have a learning disability. Discipline for not completing PACE work is disheartening and discouraging. Kids need to eat with their friends, play with their friends and attend PE. The support from the faculty at the school is not what it was. I feel my son was written off, especially after we did not renew enrollment for HS at CCS. It's heartbreaking.

Teachers are there for the ministry of Countryside. The administration works hard every day to provide a safe and effective learning environment for each student. Students are welcomed into a loving and productive work environment. They have the opportunity to do all of their work during the school day and homework is usually to a minimum if they have completed their daily tasks. The school has been around since 1974 so that speaks volumes! Check them out!

I would highly recommend this school to anyone who has a child that can’t or won’t sit still and likes to learn, they try to work with students on an individual way!

Ten stars and not one single complaint with a teacher or staff member in the almost five years my child has been going here. We love Countryside and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. You child will receive an excellent education, learn the word of God and gain an extended family in the process.

I would not recommend this school if your trying to send your child to private school for a better education. This was a huge disappointment.

This is my sons second year at Countryside and I could not be happier. The teachers are wonderful. They are patient and kind. They are firm and discipline behaviors when needed and it is not a one size fits all. The front office staff are amazing and Mr David has been an enormous blessing in our lives! Even though it is a private school it doesn't feel like they are run by money. So many times you run into a private school and all they want to do is make you pay for everything and beg for money. I am so happy with this school!
