Private Schools

It was always uplifting experience and pastor always has great message.

Though this school mostly has caring teachers and does help a variety of LD students, jersey mom is not wrong. The administration needs work for sure and communication is absolutely terrible. She was correct to say a lot of the good teachers are leaving, not all by any means, but it is trend I think everyone has recognized. If you have done any research into The John Crosland School you have probably seen the school promoting the new Odyssey Project or blended learning. I cannot speak for elementary or middle school, but in the high school all the “blended learning” actually consists of is using an online course instead of text books. Most teacher-made assignments and tests have been replaced by the assignments and tests created by the course. Everyone also gets a personal laptop for the course. For a school trying to say they help LD students with special teaching methods and curriculum, you would think they would not use an online course designed for a typical student, but they do. The online program they use is called Peak12 or Aventa Learning. It is full of typos and errors, honestly I’m not sure that anyone proof read the text before it was published. Often times the text from Peak12 is either extremely confusing or so simple it seems like a waste of time to read it. I have never actually heard a student or parent say that like this program, some say that they don’t care, others say they hate it. The school tries to promote itself by saying it helps teach to everyone’s individual needs by using “blended learning”, but personally, I think the “blended learning” has done quite the opposite. There are special programs that specific people use aside from Peak12, but most people in high school do not use them. I do not consider it worth $20,000+ a year. Tuition does not include the fee for the laptop and the online courses, you get that bill in the first week of school. Jersey mom was right when she said this school has potential. The small classes sizes and extra help does make this school unique and helps many students. It does have potential and it does help certain students, but there are a lot of problems that need to be addressed.

My experience at VCA has been amazing, the teachers and staff are everything i hoped they would be and more. We're coming from the public school system and its a big change but in such a positive way. I'm very excited about the future with VCA and i can't wait to see what VCA and God has in store for us. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and thank you for your stern but loving structure you have provided for my daughter and myself. Its not something the teachers and staff in public schools are allowed to provide much anymore but so badly need. Really i cant say enough postive things about our school. However, anyone reading this should get the point. God bless you all.💗😁

Loving environment.

Amazing school and center for kids!

I have tried for two months to contact someone at this facility with no success. I have left numerous messages and no one has yet returned my call. Not impressed.

Post Robert Urkel, the lawyers are running the faith. Gone are the self confident men of faith that once made this a truly great religion. The once plentiful holy orders are truly missed.

The daycare workers are great!

We are thankful that we are a part of PCCS. Our children are learning so much through the curriculum and through all of the extracurricular activities that are now available to middle and high schoolers. We're looking forward to taking full advantage of the CCP classes and getting a jump start on college. So grateful that we are a "B" school! Go Patriots!

The staff is great. Administration and teachers are so good with the kids. My son loves going here.

Outstanding Daycare and School.

Awesome teachers great kids.

We attended Cedarwood for 4 years until we moved to Atlanta. My daughter attended from K-3rd and my son for preschool. I am very proud to have been a member of such a loving, caring and dedicated community. The needs of each child are addressed on an individual basis in such a creative environment. The instructors use their knowledge of multiple methods to facilitate the best learning process for each child and the multi-age environment creates a nurturing atmosphere for respectful communication from older to younger and vice versa. At Cedarwood, there is a unique blend of academic focus with outdoor exploration that we feel has enhanced the development of our children. Their minds are active in a flow of work and play throughout the day. There was a vibrancy they always came home with excited for the school days to come. In addition, the preschool creates a very gentle immersion for children that are native Russian speakers. It is a joy to see the younger children communicating verbally and nonverbally as they build their relationships. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic School!

An amazing place to learn
