Private Schools

My daughter is starting her third year at Pine Drive Christian as a Kindergartner. She loves it. Great school!! Great staff!! Awesome Christ based environment. I highly recommend Pine Drive Christian School.

Really great people, love these guys thanks for everything!

I hate it here

This is a great school!, I love the staff!

The teachers and administrators truly have the best interest of students in their heart. I cannot say the same for the director. She bullied me and threatened to have someone pick up my son without my permission because he was crying at nap time. She said, "either go buy him a pacifier or I am calling everyone on his emergency contacts list until someone can pick him up." When I arrived, he was in the front office, calmly playing with 5 people who work there. It was not an emergency. I do not trust her to handle true emergencies with calmness and care. I am worried that she treated my son and her staff the same way she treated me. She did not respect nor support my husband and I as parents. She insulted us. It is truly sad that we had to withdraw him due to poor direction.

I did my homework when picking a daycare for my son, went on tours and asked lots of questions and I immediately knew this was the place for him when I walked in! For starters the atmosphere at Primrose Victory Lakes is warm and inviting. The staff is amazing and supportive. They are understanding on life outside of Primrose and are there to help however they can. My son thrives at Primrose and I know he is in good hands while I am at work which is the best peace of mind!

Great school!

First Christian Academy is a Christian, Bible Based Child Development Center as well as a Private School. Ages accepted are 6 weeks through 12th grade. There are very good and loving teachers that work with the children. The staff at FCA enjoy working with each other, cover for each other and care for each other. James and Diane Duvall have built this school with their heart and concern for a solid, Christian education for children. This is a very safe place for children to attend school and for little ones to attend daycare. The daycare is not a babysitting service; little ones are taught the basics of learning from a very early age. I work at First Christian Academy and completely enjoy it. I never dread going to work; in fact I go to work early every day. I have developed friendships with parents as well as co-workers. I have fallen in love with the children. Mr. & Mrs. Duvall have been nothing but very caring to me. Since I've been here, those who have been let go have been let go due to their own actions and/or not doing their job appropriately. Parents who have taken their children out do so for financial reasons or they have a personal problem with the school. Businesses are like Churches...you will never find a perfect one or one where everyone is happy. The issues listed below are inappropriate and slanderous. I know personally Ms. Clarivette did not talk to the staff on whether or not they liked they job because daily she walked in, got her children and left. She wouldn't even speak to me although I spoke to her every day. Not to mention, she picked her children up after most of the staff had left for the day. She is not being honest in her remarks, and there are issues with her that could be listed, but unlike her, I will not go to her level and tell them. As far as the negative reviews, if these were true then the writers would not be afraid to sign their names. To sum up, I am completely satisfied with where I am employed, am absolutely satisfied and comfortable with where my Grandbaby goes to daycare and would recommend First Christian Academy to anyone looking for a safe environment for their child.

Can't say enough good things about the teachers in this school, the loving atmosphere, and solid educational foundation my children have received . I have had one or more children there since 2010 and will be back in the fall.

Great school! Our experience is St. Mary’s has been awesome. I have the peace of mind that my kids are not also being taken care of but also learning so much. My son is almost five and already almost reading. It is a catholic school obviously but their approach to religion is not pushy which I like.

I went there 30 years ago and had an amazing time.

We are so happy with our decision to send our son to St. Thomas. He started the Pre-K 3 program in the fall of 2017 and is thriving. The curriculum is broad and we are amazed with his progress academically and socially. Almost everyday he has something new to share with us that he has learned. The outdoor play area is huge with lots of trees, play equipment and space for him to run. We love the low teacher to student ratio and the school’s communication with us. The teachers are loving and the school has an inclusive community that encourages and welcomes parent involvement. We highly recommend St. Thomas to other parents looking for high quality and comprehensive preschool/elementary education.

I have two children at the MSODT Clear Lake campus. We enjoy sending our kids to this great facility. The environment is very loving and enriching. I know that my girls are being well cared for. My eldest started in the infant room at 12 weeks old under the loving care of Ms. Sam, Ms. Seema and Ms. Rita. All are fantastic caregivers and wonderful to work with. My eldest is thriving and has also had Ms. Sam and Ms. Tayyaba as she has grown. She loves all of her teachers including Ms. Rita and Ms. Yasmeen who all are helping her learn every day. My youngest is in the infant room (also started at 12 weeks) back under the fantastic care of Ms. Rita and Ms. Seema. Both have such a loving and comforting presence with the babies and I know she is thriving under their care. The education there is top notch. My 2.5 year old can spell her name, recite her ABCs and knows 1-20 both counting and sight identifying and all of her colors. She enjoys the music and other enriching times that they give the kids. They have been very helpful in assisting us with potty training. The entire school of infants is excellent and that is due to the direction of Ms. Meenakshi. She is wonderful. She may come across as firm at times, but she has the best interest of the kids foremost in her mind. She strives to listen to parents and communicate concerns to the teachers. It has been helpful for us to have her as our point of contact rather than communicating with multiple people and not getting a direct answer. I also think it helps the teachers to not be distracted from class as Ms. Meenakshi can directly answer questions and address concerns. The facilities are also very well maintained by the wonderful housekeeping staff, Ms. Juana. We also like that they have a hot lunch provided to the kids every day along with breakfast and snacks. Its a big help not to have to pack food everyday. It is difficult to place your child into the care of another. But, in the nearly 3 years that we have been at MSDOT we have had no significant issues. Any issues we had were addressed promptly and professionally. My girls are thriving and truly enjoy the Montessori education they are receiving. I highly recommend this facility to anyone interested in quality care.

As a new parent, one of the most stressful things was trying to figure out who I would trust to watch over, teach, and love my son. We did tours of virtually every daycare in the area and when we walked into Goddard in League City, we knew it was the place we could trust. My son has thrived there. They take as much joy in him learning sign language, first words and first steps as we do! They are always responsive to concerns and any feedback. You can tell the teachers are happy and that happiness flows down to their care of the children. I would recommend this daycare to anyone (and I have!)

This is a wonderful place to work! The management, families, and staff genuinely care about each other and the children!

Our son has been attending Clear Lake Montessori since he was 5 mo. old, and we continue to be delighted by his experience over the past 1.5 years. The thing we value most at Clear Lake Montessori are small class sizes, great lesson plans, and caring teachers. I especially like that the teachers involve the parents in the lesson plans so that learning can continue at home.

I the owe academic success of my two daughters to the great system of Montessori. This location follows the standards of the system of Maria Montessori.

Not a good school for international students. They don't respect other cultures.
