Private Schools

Friendly team, great teachers, very flexible to work with families who may just be looking for one or two class options for kids

My son has been a student here for years and we love it. The owners are genuine in their love and care for the students. I can honestly say I have not had ONE issue since he's been in attendance. The turnover rate is low, which is rare in this industry. In addition, the owners are always seeking ways to invest in the school's curriculum to keep the children challenged. My son has learned so much more than I would have time to teach him. I highly recommend this Goddard to any parent looking for quality childcare.

Agritopia 1st grade I gave 2 stars because the facilities are nice, however my child's teacher was very disingenuous. After sharing with her teacher on many levels and many times about a medical situation she spread rumors to other teachers who so rudely wrote me a email about my child's inability to follow along in music due to her medicine, etc. I would hear how wonderful she was doing one week, then hear how horribly far below expectation she was performing the next week, to hearing how she is chosen for the national christian spelling bee. I would write notes in hopes of understanding what was going on only to receive the same short answer EVERY time, "Needs to practice at home", I put my child in tutoring weekly, and we practiced at home, yet the teacher didn't want to see that it could've been something happening in the classroom because, well, that would mean she was failing at her job. I don't understand how a teacher with a masters in teaching has such a hard time with only 11 students and 5-7 volunteers who cover all her reading/bible/math stations etc. She made my child feel awful as she would write these things on her folder for her to see. The school is very money motivated, you even had to pay for Trunk-Or-Treat, its ridiculous. The botox, and fake body image is also a sour note in my PERSONAL opinion because it teaches our children you have to be fake and perfect to be accepted in this world. I thought this would be a great school, it was a disaster. No Thanks!

Awesome place. Great teachers and staff. Never had a single problem with anything here and have never once worried about my kiddo's safety or how he's treated there. Daily updates and frequent special events.

This school is amazing! Terrific directors, loving and patient teachers, and a top-notch curriculum. The icing on the cake? I get pictures, videos, and updates DAILY through their app. I toured many schools before I made a decision and kept my kids here until kindergarten. I haven't EVER regretted my decision.

Lumos has been able to create a superior level of education that could not be duplicated anywhere else! Our 15 year old has grown so much at Lumos, he is able to be himself in an atmosphere that is so positive and so uplifting. He is learning, growing and coming home happy and excited about school. The staff is phenomenal, they go above and beyond!! Im sure there will be a waiting list for next year so I would highly recommend inquiring now. Take a tour and meet the staff. You cant help but smile here, you can feel the happiness!!

Both of my daughters have been here since they were around three months old. As a career educator (teacher, administrator and consultant), I try to temper my expectations and desires for my children's school experience with an understanding of what the reality of classroom life is like. No need here! The teachers my girls have had are utterly devoted to children, setting clear and loving boundaries, holding them in high esteem regardless of age, and helping them develop independence and autonomy as they grow and learn the world. Every classroom/house I've visited has the same warm, calm, joyful atmosphere as the children move through their work with a sense of purpose and clear compassion for one another and their teachers. I joke with my friends that I have the only kid who cries at pickup! She always wants to stay a little longer, and is full of stories at home of the adventures she had at school. As a working parent, the peace of mind I have knowing that my daughters are here all day is invaluable. I know that they are well-looked after, challenged, and loved. The teachers, school director, and office manager are proactive and communicative, and it's been a joy to be part of this community of families and educators for going on three years.

Both my boys have been going here for over a year and a half. The growth, skills and developement have far surpased my expectation. I have read the 2 negative views will disagree 100%. In my opinion it sounds like the one is just trying to discredit the MIS system because he is a "Arizona Certified Teacher" and cant wrap his mind around the fact that test taking and progress reports prove nothing. Believe me my pogress reports were horrible and then I did extra credit to get the grades up. My hard work was what got me the better grades. Progress reports didnt matter. What matters is the passion these kids have to learn and how much they love to go to school every day and they continue to grow and develope skills. Keep up the great work MIS.

I could share why our family goes to Kimber 'until the cows come home', but the shortest version is that this school is simply better than we could have created on our own if we could have hand picked every detail. We simply did not know school could be this valuable! Our family is forever changed because of this inspired school. This school's mission is God, Family, and Country. Our whole family has truly become more faithful, with stronger family bonds and better outlook for what it means to be an American! The reason we looked into Kimber Academy: NO 'Common Core' including, NO National Standard Testing.

I love the school because I go to it . It's Miranda

I am currently an Instructional Manager and general technology specialist here at Legacy Academy International. I cannot express in words how incredible this school is - and we're growing for good reason! I wish I could have attended this school and I'm grateful to be a part of creating a 21st century learning environment. My students love 3D printing and modeling and have taken ownership of their education with amazing results. The staff and students hear are truly something else and I seriously recommend you check it out for yourself.

My daughter started attending CGL when she was 2.5 years old. It's the best decision we have ever made! The teachers are cream of the crop, they truly care about each and every child. My daughter has gained confidence, made lifelong friends, and is learning about God. The amazing thing is that's not it... Every person, from the front desk to the custodian, show God's love towards you and your family. We are so glad we made the decision to join this school. This fall my daughter will begin Kindegarten here. Did you know you can attend K-8 here, too!? We are also attending "Tuition free!" Thank you to tax scholarships. Very pleased with our choice to be where we are. This group of people is exactly the "family" we want around our children. We love CGL!

I’d like to start off by saying this school is the best around!! The director and assistant director are amazing! Every time I walk into the school they greet me with a warm smile and are very welcoming. They always ask me how I am doing. This is a big plus for me. The school is very family oriented and it assures me that my kids are being well taken care of. One thing that I enjoy most about this school is that they have had the same teachers for a long period of time. High turnover is something I worry about when choosing a daycare but the fact that their teachers are staying tells me they enjoy what they are doing and where they work. Many of their teachers have education and are certified in child care. The ciriculum is upstanding and they schedule a lot of crafts and events to support what they are learning. My children love going to school and seeing their teachers and they have learned so much. I have struggled trying to potty train my 3 yr old... because of the teachers strict routine and positive encouragement I was finally able to get him potty trained. Thank you PCA, your an amazing school and I wouldn’t choose any other place for my children to be!

Overall, this school is very great in their religious foundation. The idea of going to las once a week is good for the child's faith. But in terms of bullying, it is not very good. They take care of the bullying, but never punish the bullies. My son was bullied by the same person for a whole 2 years and the bully kept on getting chances, even since his kindergarten year from what I am told. Also, the curriculum taught is VERY behind. My child was sent there already knowing all of the processes (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division), But when he went there in third grade, they were JUST learning how to add thousands. If you want you kid to be so far behind in learning, go ahead and do it. I strongly suggest to stay in public school if you don't want your child to be bullied.

Love the staff , teachers and administration . Great school !
