Private Schools

This is a great school for students with reading trouble. The teachers and staff are very passionate with the task of battling dyslexia with the students. Small class sizes allows for more student teacher time.

I think that this is a very good schools and the teachers really care about each individual child.

Good school

This school is a hellscape. I went here and am so glad I managed to escape. There were student teacher relationships, you didn't go to the bathroom because it was unsafe. If you aren't rich the the school doesn't care about you or your safety. All this school cares about is money and their reputation. They don't care about doing the right thing. IF you are a girl and being sexually harassed by other students, they'll blame you because as a woman obviously you are the root of all evil and men are not responsible for their own actions. If you were rich you could do anything you wanted. The classes at the school they are a joke. There is no rigger. This school is the Lord of The Flies, an 80s movie with no fun sound track to mask the poison that is this school. This school is toxic. Your kids will become depressed and they will either be the abused or the abuser. This school corrupts indefinitely. If I had stay another year at this school I would have killed myself. That godly love they speak of it's a lie there is no god here. There is no love here. This place is hell.

Good school with a caring staff.

We absolutely LOVE this school. Our child has excelled and thrived here. The staff, volunteer parents, and students are always happy, pleasant, and helpful each and every time we walk through the doors. Dress code and behavior policies are followed and any issue with a student is addressed right away. I can't imagine any parent having an issue with this school, and have, in fact, heard nothing but praise save one nasty review. After reading said review, I feel it necessary to point out that if you enroll your child in a CHRISTIAN school you can safely assume they will be concerned about your child's spiritual well being. It is also understandable that a school would be concerned about what may be going on at home when a child exhibits behaviors such as "saying things a little girl shouldn't say". Finally, if a parent is concerned about their child's lack of focus on academics, they might want to set a better example of their own, a display of proper grammar would be such an example. Since this disgruntled parent stands alone, I will safely assume the rest of the parents are, like my husband and I, very "gruntled" lol.

I am surprised at some of the negative reviews. Country Day is not inexpensive and no substitute for a lack of parental participation in a child's development. However, the education and experience our three children get from the school is invaluable and clearly setting them up to have competitive advantages in life. Our oldest in second grade is reading on a 7th grade level, multiplying multi digit numbers, dividing, speaking broken Spanish, knows an amazing amount of american sign language and a fair amount of Chinese in addition to participating in hour long drama productions. Our daughter has blossomed in her confidence and drive to learn. She is completing kindergarten knowing how to write simple sentences, read, speak words in Spanish and Chinese, sign words and songs in american sign language, add, subtract and do multiplication as well as perform in drama and make simple speeches with confidence in front of a crowd. Our youngest is in a toddler class (2-3). He knows some sign language, speaks in complete sentences, is respectful to others, and will look you in the eye to talk to you. The teachers meet us every day at drop off to respectfully greet the kids, look them in the eye, shake their hand and say good morning as well as share anything important that the parents need to know. The school has full PE with some fantastic coaches, chess, robotics, drama, a full barnyard of animals the children interact with, equestrian programs, foreign languages, and sign language to highlight a few of the unique opportunities. They have a cafeteria that prepares home cooked hot lunches and if it is important to you they welcome dietary restrictions. One of our favorite points of the campus is they are open to all races and faiths with a completely non bias view. Our children have respectfully learned not to see any differences in their friends regardless of their skin color, bindi, hijab, dread locks or even food allergies. We never thought our children would attend a private school but after our first was in kindergarten we were hooked. We make a point to budget so our children can have such a great opportunity.

Dirty place, terrible smell in rooms, falling down ceiling, unattended children, bad stuff

My son went here for VPK it was outstanding! Highly recommend

I'm not one to make assumptions or jump to conclusions so when the principal left, I got involved...very involved. I served on the parent board, volunteered in the classroom, lunch room, media center, chapel. You name it & I was in it up to my ears & I discovered that this is a solid school that continues to grow. The staff is well picked & well placed. New classes are being added regularly especially for the middle school-environmental engineering, Microsoft certifications, math. The literature curriculum is unmatched! This coming school year 2 grades are adding an additional classroom full of students, still leaving a waiting list. There is no gifted program here because all of the students are above & beyond for this area. The academics are strong and so is the character building & spiritual growth. There is accountability, progress review, curriculum review at all levels. Perfect? No way but there is definitely a short term AND a long term plan for this amazingly friendly school community. Is it the right fit for you? Only a tour & lots of questions can answer that. Too assume something happened for a certain reason without fact checking doesn't do you any service. Come see for yourself.

I used to go to this school when I was a kid, is there any way I can get into contact other the other classmates I went to school there

I went to center academy back when i was in 5th grade and went through until i graduate. and I have to say it is the best school I have ever went to.
