For seven years our daughter has attended Christ Fellowship Academy in Palmetto Bay, Fl. She has been provided a well-rounded education in a Christ-centered environment. The campus is welcoming, safe and feels like home. Exceptional administrators, professional, passionate teachers and staff. Everyone goes above and beyond. Amazing parent involvement. It is a blessing to be part of the CFA family! I highly recommend Christ Fellowship Academy.

Amazing school! Our family has been a part of CFA for the past 8 years. We were looking for a school with high quality education and Christ at its center, and we found it in CFA. The staff and administration is amazing. We are so thankful for CFA!

My daughter has been at CFA since Kindergarten and we have been so blessed to be a part of this community! The care and love shown by every teacher and staff member as well as the high academic standards are a few of the reasons why we love CFA.

This year, we summized our 5th at CFA! We look back and thank God for how He has blessed our family through CFA. We came when our son was entering K3. We could not have asked for a better school experience. In all areas, we have seen our son flourish. He had a slow start with reading and is now a thriving, avid reader, with a reading level almost 2 grade levels above. He also came to know the Lord as Savior through one of his teachers. This is all thanks to the hard-working teachers who have invested so much in his life. Providing academic rigor and classroom structure, they keep children engaged with exciting, hands-on activities. Students participate in fun, educational specialty classes weekly, with an emphasis on the arts and technology. Help class, scholars, and interventions are also available for students needing extra in any given area. The love, care, and true focus on being Christ-centered is evident. The teachers, staff, and administrators go above and beyond to serve their students and families. Even in difficult situations, the administrators seek God first and handle each situation with prayer, love, and genuine concern for all parties involved. You will not find a school with administrators who care as much! They desire to see God glorified in all things, and for parents and students to know Jesus on a personal level, because they know that's where true life change occurs, and that is the most important thing. The perfect school doesn't exist. However, at CFA, you will find all that you have been looking for if you open your eyes to see what God is doing. He is blessing this school in ways only He can. If you're looking for a Christ-centered school with strong academics and a heart to serve families, this is your home.

I cannot speak highly enough about CFA! Our family was welcomed with open arms right from the start; our kids felt loved the moment they walked into the school. CFA has challenged our children academically and spiritually, cultivating our children's God-given talents and gifts. Their teachers have been vigilant and dedicated to my children's well-being, fostering a genuine relationship with them. We have been so blessed to be a part of the CFA community. I have seen tremendous growth in our children, demonstrating that academic and biblical formation is essential in preparing our children to be confident in themselves and their future. The CFA administration has gone above and beyond to serve our family, leading with compassion and grace.

This school throughout the past years has changed but not in a positive light. They do not have the best people working within this school, it seems as though they are in desperate need to hire and just hire anyone. Sadly, if a family member works in the school favoritism will be extremely obviously seen with the student of the family member employed, and not the nicest family members are employed (they should do better background checks and evaluation). If you want sincere Christianship all around in every aspect unfortunately this is not the school for your child.

My overall experience in regards to education and family engagement at this school is good.However I can agree with both of the negatives reviews given.The entire school year we were presented with behavioral assessment recommendations. My son was 5 in kindergarten and reading and learning at expected level.However we were made to feel other wise. I'm not sure if they receive some type of kickback but as I read the other reviews I can see I'm not the only parent who experienced this. After giving us behavior recommendations testing,the talk of retention my son was then awarded the prestige award of " Class Clown" ridiculous. The children get Daily progress reports with about 20 abbreviations to decode as to the child behavior.If your child is a baby Einstein,without fault and created to perfection this is the school for you However if your child is human please find another school.

This school is probably great, if your child is perfect, but should they have any need, you and your child will be immediately ostracized. I’ve never felt so unsupported, embarrassed, and systematically discriminated against in my entire life. I’m a realist, if the school isn’t able to help my child, that’s fine, but it’s how they dealt with it that was humiliating.

I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge how continually impressed I am by CFA. I have had a child at the school since 2018 and each year blows me away. I am so grateful for the way they handled COVID, I agreed with every decision that was made, and challenges that you all overcame to get our kids back in school. I believe God made us to need each other, especially children, and I felt throughout those times that the staff loved our kids enough to make it their priority to do what was best for the kids.The teachers have are there to support my family, every morning with a smile and the confidence that the children feel and trust. Over the past few years, as I have grown as a mother, the teachers has been there by my side to support our family. Bad days and great days, one thing I know is the teachers and their assistants will be there to fix hair, give hugs, show up, and teach my kids how to be good. As a Mom, it makes me feel at ease to know my children's support is in my corner, that's not upset when we forget something, always understanding and patient and helps like a member of the family. I could go on and on. I know the work that goes into educating children and am writing this review because my family appreciates it. We are truly blessed that we found CFA and I'm grateful for each member of the staff that makes it exceptional.

From the day we visited the campus for a tour, the staff was absolutely attentive, caring and willing to answer any and all questions. It has been a blessing to see how much both our children have grown and succeeded under their guidance during the past four years. CFA also embraces military families like ours and is completely understanding about the challenges military children face when a parent is deployed. We highly recommend this school and will be forever greatfull that our children attended their school.

Very dissapointed with this school... My experience was awful, under qualified teachers whom lacked patience and knowledge towards developmental stages... Unrealistic expectations, poor communication... Principal non supportive and simply disregarded my concerns.

CFA is great school and very family oriented environment. You receive the best of both worlds at CFA, world class academics and spiritual teachings and reinforcement for your child. The teachers and principal make a point to have a personal connection with each child and their family. The tuition is expensive BUT very much worth and definitely less expensive than some neighboring private schools. My child loves the school and I couldn't imagine her anywhere else.

This is the best school in Palmetto Bay, you learn how to love JesusChrist and learn moral values since early age. The foundation in each society that is the respect for everybody.

I recently decided to send my daughter to this school based on others review's. I was greatly disappointed. On day two I was told my daughter could not speak. I was appalled and could not believe my ears. I questioned myself when I should have been questioning the ethics of the teacher and the school. Within two weeks I was removing my daughter. I find that this school talks the talk and does not walk the talk to say the least. Everyday I picked up my daughter from school my stomach was in knots. All I ever heard was the negative. Never did I hear the positive. I can not imagine how my daughter was treated in class. I made the effort to reach out to the higher up's and felt disregarded. I feel that if you can't function at an optimal level as a teacher when a child doesn't meet your expectations then you need to re-evaluate the situation and try another approach. I believe this school is smoke and mirrors...not willing to face the truth. I know I made the best decision to remove her because in her new school they actually care. Moral of the story.....don't always believe what a teacher says about your child. Teachers are there to guide not diagnosis.

It saddens me I am unable to send my grand daughter to this school because it is soooooo very expensive. It is a lost spiritual and educational opportunity for her.
