Private Schools

Great school.

Where do I begin? I suppose somewhere in the beginning, middle, and end; it’s all the same. The Goddard School is GREAT! Teachers – BOOM – AWESOME! Oh yeah, some stuff I really liked. My wife and I decided to place our daughter in Goddard. Why? Because we’re smart [I think so]. There are many things to share about Goddard. The education was/is great, but there were little extra things that brought my wife and I mental comfort. Leaving your kid(s) with other people….at a place, can be weird. Not at Goddard. No odd smells, sticky surfaces, odd interactions with staff; education, order, structure, and fun was in the air. There’s nothing but positives, but a few items of personal interest pop out in my mind. Communication. We were always consulted in advance of our child’s progress through written documentation and daily reports via the Tadpoles App. I didn’t really know the power of the application, but it was comforting and very informative. As parents, of course, we all wonder what happens to our kid(s) when they’re not in our presence – normal. What the Tadpoles App did, was to allow parents to check the status of drop-off/pick-up times, daily activities, see pics, see videos, get notes from teachers, reminders, and much more. The impressive thing, the teachers were fantastic at keeping [us] parents informed using technology – EVERY DAY. Keep in mind, the use of this application wasn’t the only thing Goddard did extremely well at. At The Goddard School, there is obviously a focus on learning, but the school as a whole has a very wide range of activities throughout the year. YOU will see and be IMPRESSED! Teachers and parents [us] were in constant communication no matter the circumstance. If my child did well or needed more improvement at home in an area of weakness, I was happy to employ and reinforce practices that helped the teachers during their day with our child. Likewise, I appreciated the attention that was given to our child. I have not a word of negativity to speak; I couldn’t imagine it. Side-note. After spending half my life in the military, I’ve learned a few things about: - attention to detail - communication - cleanliness - training & education - safety - teamwork - security - good times! [Classified] ……shall I go on? Save yourself the dilemma and worry, Goddard has these components and more. If you’re about making good choices, just bless your child with the gift of Goddard. You will not be sorry. You Will Be Happy! ~ Andrejs M.

I went here when I was younger, everyone was so kind and sweet.

It was boring

Friendly, Family oriented, Strong Bible preaching. Great children and teen ministries. Great music ministry.

My wife and I sent our 3 children here and we loved the school. It's large enough to have a professional feel and resources and small enough to offer personalized attention. Christopher Academy played a very formative role in our children's lives, and set them on a solid path to enter junior high and high school with a very well-rounded education. Can't say enough about this school.

Great school, everyone is very attentive and makes you feel like family. I agree with the other parent, if your child seems to have a problem here it's more than likely something they're bringing from the homefront. Private school isn't for everyone that's why it's called PRIVATE school.

Large kids section and large foyer to accommodate latecomers

Outstanding experience for both of my students. Top notch academics brought is here. The Christ centered community is invaluable. This school offers academic and athletic challenge, vibrant clubs and activities and a service minded philosophy. With one graduate now thriving in college another heading to a service academy, we realize this was the best decision for us. And so grateful for the teachers coaches and staff!!!

This is where all of the kids with rich parents go to school! :D

Great school, Great staff, Great people.

great school

We love you! Our baby is very happy here and everybody is very respectful. The lady in the morning (Marie) treats our baby with a lot of love!!! We appreciate it! Wanda is also great. Great staff overall.

The school is dilapidated the plumbing never works properly and the Director/owner is a rude load mouth disrespectful sorry excuse for a human being his wife will put her hands on your children and then lie about it and as soon as you complain about it they try to find a reason to kick your children out also their vans are broken no seat belts no heat and the doors don't work properly. So to all the parents out there if you want a clean safe environment for your children the please if there is any where else in Norfolk then you should take your children there alpha beta is a horrible place so for the sake of your children please find another school and after school program for them

Both of my kids have went to pre-school here and had a wonderful experience.

Our two girls have attended pre-k through third grade. We could not be more satisfied with the academic achievements that they are making. But we are even more impressed with the worldview and character training that the school promotes. They are not just training test-passers, TCA is making disciples for the Kingdom of God by the grace of our Lord Jesus!

i go here too
