Private Schools

Dallas Independent School District does not teach kids about morals and daily lessons. its all about TESTING TESTING TESTING.

Great school

I believe this is the oldest African-American private school in Dallas and one of the best. I attended to SWAJA as a kid when it was called City Temple Junior Academy. There have also been many graduates of SWAJA that have gone on to be very important people, i.e: Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers etc and now my own daughter will be attending this year. So excited!!!

We toured every Montessori in town and this one was the best! Very kind teachers and great curriculum

The new director and staff that has taken over since July are absolutely horrible. This Center is disorganized and complaints are not being handled or taken seriously by the Director. I would not recommend anyone to enroll their child in this So Called Private School!

Great school! It is irreplaceable! My 2 year old son knows how to count to fifty, potty trained, and knows all colors. There are some very inaccurate reviews that have been posted. I think these are attempts of defamation. There are opinions and then there are lies. There is not a mandatory bible study and there are some restrictions to help the children develop.

We love the school. They have great teachers.

We love CP Prep, I'm always pleased with everyone & everything!

Great church and very friendly people there

Beautiful campus. Administration completely committed to school's philosophy. High quality materials in clean, well organized classrooms. Amazing, highly experienced teachers. A truly formative experience. Best we've found in Dallas.

Muy hermosa, Dios siga bendiciendo Nuestra comunidad

My oldest has attended Phoenix off and on for 7 years. She started way back when they were Beary Best. My youngest started when she was 8 months old and we have been extremely happy. The staff has been wonderful about accommodating for our cloth diapers, baby led weaning, full term breastfeeding, and other "crunchy" parenting methods. I highly recommend Phoenix Academy to other parents who are looking for a safe and loving school for their children.

Do your research before sending your kid here! We almost made the mistake of enrolling our child here but after the Open House, the headmaster made us change our mind. His name is Dr. John Hill. However, he did not seem too educated on the school itself. From what it sounded like, the entire administration staff is made up of a bunch of fake people. No one knew the answers to many of our questions. Dr. Hill was figeting a lot with his hands as if he was nervous. He has no compassion about him. Seems like a senseless man to me. Most people just called him “John” and now I can see why. Whatever you do, stay away from this place. We are enrolling at the Shelton. It has a much better rating and the people there have more class. Dallas Academy needs a huge makeover and that includes the staff.

As a Highlander graduate and parent, I can't say enough good things about this school! Highlander serves three-year-olds through sixth graders. The coursework is challenging, and the teachers spend time working with each individual child. The reading lists are full of classic, inspiring works, and Christian values, patriotism, and manners are reinforced throughout the school day. The children study language arts, literature, social studies, math, science, French, art, and music, plus P.E. and recess every day. I strongly encourage anyone wanting a warm, loving environment, a challenging curriculum, and an affordable private school education to check out Highlander School.

What a great team of teachers and staff to work with every day. The principal, administration, and teachers all keep positive attitudes and are serious about education. This is a hard working group of people who love what they do. It is a pleasure to see this and it makes going to work a joy.
