Private Schools

Small class size, dedicated teachers, bible based teaching, parent involvement, fantastic school!

Great school the staff really cares about each student

We are so happy to have found this school for our son. Our son had previously attended a public school and two other private schools in the area which did absolutely nothing for him and we constantly had issues. Our son's speech therapist highly recommended Cape Academy. Kris the principal is the kindest principal I have ever met, she truly cares about her students at the school and wants the best for them. Our son has made tremendous strides forward both academically and socially. We are so happy that he is in a nurturing environment and small classroom size. Lee county is blessed to have this hidden gem of a school. If you are looking for a small school setting that actually cares about the well being of your child, and teaches at their level while still challenging them academically, then this is the best school in town!

Looked and found a LCMS Church that was comparable with my home church.

Wonderful place with people who legitimately love the children in their care. I wouldn't recommend any other place in town. The development our infant showed while she was here was awesome.

I was recently at this school for a basketball game and was appalled by the sportsmanship of the parents and players. I am on the team and after a lady came and started yelling at us. I decided to let it go until she started yelling at me for no reason. If you decide to join this school's sports program please take into consideration their sportsmanship.

i moved from NY, and was not sure where to send my kids. Wow. My whole life changed. The smaller classes and attention are unbeatable. This school is a miracle

I absolutely LOVE this school/daycare, they have always been so willing to help my son transition from his first day ever at daycare, to learning his colors, numbers, letters, manners and they stick by the Christian principles. That's so comforting to a mother's and father's heart! We've had a total of four of our kids/ stepkids go to this daycare then on to their school and it has always been a benefit to our children and us! I would recommend this Academy to anyone with kids of any age! Thank you Nicaea Academy Cape Coral for all your love and compassion and patience with us as parent's and our children! God Bless you all!

This school is a huge disappointment. I do not recommend it to anyone. If you do want to try it, here is a bit of advice: spend a lot of time at the school and in the classrooms or kitchen so you can make your own opinion based on real observations. Unfortunately this takes time as people only show their true colors once they get more familiar with someone. I saw the director/staff's true colors and their true intentions. As other reviews have mentioned, money is the main drive for this owner/director. The school is badly understaffed and the publicly available financial statement of this non for profit reveals how much the owner pays herself in rent since she owns the building (also available on Lee county property appraiser's website). I am in no way opposed to getting paid well for hard work, on the contrary. But there is no excuse for not having enough staff and for having the lower and upper elementary classes without a trained teacher. The owner of the school has a moral duty to put the children's education before her personal financial wealth. Lying to families about who is in the classrooms with their children is despicable. Making teachers clean dishes, classrooms, toilets, etc daily is taking time away from them to be able to prepare their classrooms and send weekly communications to parents. Also, you'll find that there is no music class (yes there is a classroom full of exotic instruments but it is never used or accessible for the children), no PE and even no foreign languages which is mind blowing! The discipline is also non-existent as when children misbehave they are kindly asked why they are acting the way they are, and how could they make things better. This works sometimes but most children need boundaries and rules. This school has none. I have posted a picture of what happened when I started asking questions and demanding answers, have a look at the letter I received on a Wednesday saying that the next day (Thursday) both my children could not come back to school... Apparently this is what happens when one questions the management at this school.

My 2 children as well as my granddaughter attended this school through the years. This school definitely enhanced their creativity, helping them excel in positive life choices and success.😊👍

Both my sons attend the "little school." Every teacher and facility member knows their names. Every staff member is kind hearted and takes pride in their work. We love the curriculum and Bible lessons. There are many playgrounds that are age appropriate for the toddlers. They set up many activities for the children (firefighters come to the school, hearing testing is done, Happy Feet, etc). We love the family atmosphere at the school.

The staff truly cares. My daughter has been there for almost a year. I love the fact that they inform me when she is not feeling well. My complaint is that other parents don't care enough to keep sick children home. It's sad when you see children who are sick keep being brought back. Some parents truly need to stop and think rashes, diarrhea, and fevers deserve to stay home 24 hours. The school is making beautiful changes and the staff truly care about my child I love the fact that the teachers know my name and talk to me about the well-being of my daughter.

We have two children in SFX. Great school, staff and teachers.

Amazing school!! Such a blessing to have the privilege to send my son here. He loves it!
