My children has started school here this year. I can see an improvement in their learning, i love the small class sizes, but bullying is a real thing. Many of the kids that have been there for a long time tent to get away with a lot. They also pick on the new comer to the school, with no repercussions. The senior and junior class are straight bullies. These children are mean and malicious. Even after my children bring up these incident to the teachers, nothing is done. There are racial comments being made that i can see makes the few African Americans in the school uncomfortable. If you speak up for yourself, you will be labeled as confrontational.. i understand close knit, but this is something else.

Hello, I didn’t think I would have to address this situation because I had very high hopes for this school but I guess I was wrong. My son came to me and told me there was SEVERAL occasions of racism being witnessed in class around the teachers and nothing was done. Racial slurs, bullying, ect. Anyhow, my son addressed the situation to the staff members who said they would do something about it and absolutely NO changes were made. A student I will not name who, was being discriminated against for their facial features that are not that of the average white person(s). In result of this, people made drawings and nicknames mocking them. Last of all on this topic, my son was being singled out for leaning more on the leftist side of politics, which SHOULD NOT be a problem no matter what school you go to. A long with this are teachers who are failing to give the proper education needed for exams and advances into their futures. Do better SCA, you are scamming people of their money. My son will be finishing up this school year and not returning. Parents NEED to see this.

A thoroughly detailed list of why we feel the way we do about this school can be read in my detailed review. It offers many explanations as to why we felt the tuition rates did not match the educational needs of today's children...in our opinion.

Amazing teachers that care about their students! They want to see them grow academically and spiritually. I feel as though the staff and administrators are an extended part of my family.

Our child has attended K-2nd grade so far at SCA. We really feel like our school community is family for the parent/teacher involvement. The teachers and staff are truly investing their hearts, knowledge, and care into a great education and environment for their students. This is of critical importance to us, since that environment and instruction are foundational and impact so much of our child's future. We feel so grateful and blessed to be able to send our child to SCA.

Awesome!! We have great teachers that give individualized attention. The principal and school board keep the end result in mind, but don't sacrifice the here and now for that end. Facebook posts for parents help to keep us informed of special days, etc. Would recommend this school to all races, cultures, religious back grounds. Great place for education.

Suffolk Christian Academy is a great school. This is my children's first year here. I have a 6th grader and a kindergarten. I am very pleased with the academics and even happier with the small teacher student ratio. Its nice that my 6th grader is not in a class of 32 students. My children are extremely happy. I feel very at home here. I would and have recommend Suffolk Christian academy.

Suffolk Christian Academy is a fantastic Christian school with great academics and low student teacher ratios. My child has attended since Pre-k and is now in 4th grade. Since it's incorporation, and the new school board, the school has truly flourished! I would recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional education for their children.

Great school with a family feel and a rigorous academic program. Strong values and learning through a biblical worldview, serve to strengthen the educational experience and enrich the child.

My 7th grader has attended SCA since kindergarten. I'm satisfied because she has small class sizes, individual attention, & few distractions present in the Suffolk Public Schools where many classes K-5 remain at 30 + students (several websites report 19-1 student/teacher ratio but that's incorrect. I'm a teacher in the system & we were in the Virginia-Pilot newspaper a years ago when it was revealed 55 classes K-5 had hit the 30+ number of students. This remains the same today-it's just not being reported.) This means "assembly-line education"- a teacher simply can't keep up with demands & I'm not willing to sacrifice my child's future because the schools can't get it together. SCA has provided a caring environment; my daughter has had some wonderful teachers who go the extra mile. Also, she needed a faith-based education-another thing the public schools can't offer. I see everyday the result of students who haven't the advantage of faith in Christ & the disservice they unknowingly suffer at having nothing to hold onto when life gets tough. My daughter knows/loves Christ. They partner w/me to prepare her to be a loving, principled, educated adult.

This small school is a true gem in the western Tidewater area. The education provided is rigorous, the teachers are dedicated and motivated, and the overall school environment is extremely positive. The Christian label is appropriate as faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of the school s entire operation. As a parent of two students at this academy I am very pleased with the return on my expense.

First Baptist Christian School has made some exciting growth.The new name is SUFFOLK CHRISTIAN ACADEMY and serves K-12 grades. It is now incorporated having a school board to govern the school not a single church committee. It is also supported by four other churches in the community and are all actively involved. The new strength and stability will surely allow for continued growth for this school in the future. I am super pleased with the structure, challenging curriculum and godly environment that my child encounters daily.
