All I can say is...DO IT! This school is incredible. The teachers are fantastic! They are so good with each of the kids, and really understand how to relate to each child on an individual basis. Their approach is not a "one size fits all," but rather, they take the time and care to figure out what each child needs and how they can best support them. Springfield academy is one in a million, and I recommend it to any parent looking for a school that teaches children values, love of learning, and wants a staff that is caring and dedicated to their child(ren)s wellbeing!

My son has been attending this school for about two years now. He has learned so much from his teachers and continues to thrive. I am looking forward to sending my daughter here when she is old enough!

We are a military family and started at Springfield Academy several years ago. We have been extremely pleased with the care and individual attention our children have recieved. The staff is honest, genuine, and professional. Our children have learned beyond their grade level, and continue to soar academically and spiritually. We are so thankful we made this choice for our family

The faculty and curriculum at Springfield Academy are what we value most. Our kids developed a love of reading and looks forward to going to school every day. The staffs are so loving and I recommend sending children to this school.

My daughter has attended Springfield Academy for the last 5 years and absolutely loves this school. Teachers and staff really get to know and care about each of the children. Every day is a new adventure, and the learning environment is exceptional. My daughter will be starting a kindergarten in a few weeks and is already leaning to read independently. We love this school!

The only positive that came from my child attending school here is the fact that it is a nondenominational christian school and the children learn about the Bible. The school does not know how to handle bullying and will allow bullies to torment children without reprimanding them. They even had the nerve to accuse my child of lying about another child hurting her. They don’t think that 4 year olds are capable of bullying, but my child was bullied and when I complained about it, they offered for me to transfer my child to their sister school down the street, therefore inconveniencing my child, rather than getting rid of the problem child that was causing issues for other kids as well. Also, I don’t know where they get their teachers from because SOME of them are clearly not qualified to be teachers, especially the teachers for the 3 year olds. I regret sending my child here and would not recommend this school.

Our experience at Springfield Academy has been outstanding. The school is very well run and is a safe, fun place for children to learn. The staff is very well trained and are committed to each and every child having a fun and safe environment in which to grow. What we love most about Springfield Academy are the staff and curriculum. Our child has gained a love of reading and is excited to go to school daily. It is such a relief and a blessing to know your child loves his school, teachers and friends. Being a private school and based upon Christian values and principles, we know our child is in a Godly environment where he is learning how to be a loving, independent and responsible child. We could not be happier with the love, caring, support and instruction our child has received at Springfield Academy and have recommended the school to many of our neighbors and friends.

My daughter goes to Spring-N-Dale Private School which is one of the branches of the Springfield Academy. She loves this school very much and actually asks me to go. The school has also worked with myself on several issues and the Teachers are excellent. I recommend this school to anyone looking.

This school would be a complete failure if not for a handful of wonderful teachers, the weekly field trips during summer camp, and the swim lessons. I would love to be able to express my views to the management but the communication lines are so broken, you can not even send an email to the school. If you drop off early or pick up late, forget about talking to any primary teacher or management. Once your child is out of the phase of written reports, there is no way to know what is going on day to day. I would love to be able to tell the school about the horrible representation its new aids are representing in the community. I was witness to several of them in a local establishment speaking loudly about the teachers, staff, students, and parents. Only a few comments were kind. They were smoking, cursing, and speaking about the pregnancy status of various employees. The school boasts ZERO security and communication (barring the occasional note sent home) and only a handful of teachers express any enthusiasm. Unfortunately these negatives overcome any positive experiences and our family is currently seeking alternative arrangements.

I'm really pleased with this school. My child has been going there for about 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. I love the diversity, I love it being Christian based, the tuition is affordable, & I love the curriculum. My child had been going to another school in the area and all she ever would come with were pictures. I understand arts and crafts but I'm also trying to get her prepared for kindergarten. How about some writing? Springfield does writing everyday, my child is now starting to write in cursive (which I understand is not largely being teached anymore), she has homework...I'm really pleased. I am glad she now has another teacher though b/c the other one in pre-school was really sweet, but she didn't seem to have a handle on the classroom. The kids were routinely loud when I came to pick up my child everyday. But from what I understand, there had just got a new teacher in there so take from this review what you will. I'm a first time parent and learning as I go but you can always tell by the stuff your kid talks to you about at the most random times.
