The classrooms at Global Learning Academy are bright and cheerful. The school itself is beaming with positivity. It feels as if you are walking in a mall or downtown Pensacola. The school grounds are well kept and the staff is friendly.

I have two children at this school. My home unfortunately falls well below the poverty line, yet my children are thriving here! We lost their step father last year during the summer, and the level of care and support the school gave was phenomenal. The teachers truly care about your children, as if they were their own! They try to make sure every student truly understands the material, going well far and above expectations anyone should have. I'm grateful to have found this school. My children were not doing well in our zoned school, and attend gla through the school choice program. I love this school and all of the staff!!!

2023-24 is going to be even better at Global Learning Academy! We are fully staffed with fully certified teachers, plus have funded 9 extra positions with Title 1 funding--and those are also filled with highly qualified teachers. Our theme this year is "Own the world!" Join us!

I've taught and have worked in different positions at this school for 5 years. I know firsthand how hard the faculty at this school works. The administration works tirelessly to increase family involvement. We hosted curbside pick up during COVID. Our principal has gone out of her way to create an environment where students, families, and teachers feel heard and respected. I am currently taking a leave of absence but will return for my 6th year in 24. If my grandson lived closer I would have him come to this school. Test scores never tell the whole picture. Our school will offer you a tour during school hours to see just how much work is being done. Proud to be a part of Team Global.

I am the current principal of this school and would happily and confidently place my own grandsons at Global Learning Academy if they lived in town. We are a free Pre-K through 5th grade public school, fully staffed with certified teachers. 59% of our faculty has been on staff more than eight years. In K-5, we only have 1 first year teacher and she is doing a great job! We are a school working hard to meet every individual student's needs and we are all human, so we aren't perfect but we sure are trying to be!

I have two sons who are currently attending this school. The principal, vice principal, and staff are working their butts off to create a more caring, friendly, and educational environment. As long as they keep showing me all their positive intentions, I would gladly recommend this school for any child.

The staff and teachers are awesome but a bunch of thank you’s to the afterschool teacher she is awesome I could not ask for someone better to take care of my child. A lot of respect to the hard work y’all do.

There is no support from administration, the teachers that have been at this school more than a year enjoy having low expectations and little teaching experience. The students at this school have terrible behaviors with no consequences and teachers that deal with the behaviors are looked down upon as if it’s their fault. There are numerous teachers that have bogus titles which allow them to roam around and do nothing instead of assist teachers or run iss. 20 new teachers had to be hired this school year and admin will have the same on their hands next year because their is no support for staff and no consequences for students. Classes have disproportionate numbers of behavior problems and new and inexperienced teachers are expected to be successful with what they are given. If you are considering this place for employment or to send your student run away now!

This school is amazing from the building, technology, excellent teachers, dedicated staff, and great administration! Every grade focuses on a different continent. At the end of 5th grade, your child will truly know about the world!

This school is terrible. My daughter has been bullied and discriminated against. The administration is a joke. They WILL NOT return phone calls or answer the phones more than half the time during school hours. I do like my daughters teachers but get the impression that their opinions, ideas, or issues fall on deaf ears. My daughter WILL NOT attend this sorry excuse for a school next year.

I have a son who has gone to this school for two years. And this school is only two years old. They do have some bully issues, but that is something the parents should control. Teachers can only do so much. It all starts with home-training. I have personally had great experiences with both teachers my son has had. And I have only had good experiences with all the other staff as well. Now on the other hand, I do believe they need more teachers.

I just had a bad experience with this child care facility. I get off work to pick up my baby. He has a big knot on his head. There was no incident report file and no one in the daycare facility knew what happen. This is unacceptable. I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. The co-workers are not professional. They don't care about nothing but a paycheck. They have cameras but it still did not change anyone.

I agreed with the first comment about the best technology but not the teachers, nor the staff This school was a worst nightmare ever. The teachers don't care and don't know how to deal with the kids. If something happens they will always call you, even small issues. They just want you to bring your kid home. My child is being bully many times there. The teacher didn't even care and didn't even know how to deal or help my child. The school ranking's D of last year. I've 2 kids attending to this school. I'll take him out of this school and take them to Private school. If you're interested to this school. Please be aware of what's gonna happen to your child.
