Private Schools

Great staff.

Since attending St Mary Catholic School, my third grader is part of a class that scored well above the national average in math. I attribute this academic accomplishment to the St. Mary’s Catholic School curriculum. The teachers have always strived for a high level of academic excellence while maintaining classrooms that focus on exploration of the world and the fun of learning. More importantly, the school as a whole creates an atmosphere of respect for others and promotes the Christian values that are important to our family.   My first grader was initially nervous about attending school. However, this feeling quickly subsided when she was introduced to her eight grade prayer partner, an older “buddy” that sat with her at mass, and worked with her on reading books and doing projects in school. I regularly see the younger children waving to their prayer partners on their way into school. St. Mary Catholic School understands that value of giving older students accountability as role models and instilling a sense of community in the students.

It was a mind opening, heart warming, learning about others and most importantly learning about myself kind of experience. I started in February, and in such a short time and I have grown as a person and focused not just about my career but about life as a whole. What I've gain at Sprottshaw is priceless. The admissions advisor was amaizing. She pointed to all the right places I needed to go to for funding. The staff there is trully helpful and wants you to succeed and they are rooting for you and very welcoming. Go see them, they'll roll out the red carpet for you. At least that's how I feel they've treated me.

My boys graduated with an amazing education. They went from kindergarten all the way through. I am so thankful for a school that offers such an excellent education.

Love it so far! The academics and sports that we are able to be active in really helps us and myself exceed in every aspect of my future life. Couldn't say it any better, but this school is just plain out awesome!

SIATech Independent Study is a great school. I was able to earn my High School diploma faster than expected. The teachers also encouraged me to enroll into a community college. I am now about to transfer to a four year University. The best choice I have ever made!

I've been to this place before years ago and the woman running it was an absolute hag - I know that's pretty strong language, but she actually dared to drag me into her office for a 'private conference' about a personal conversation I had a friend that was *none* of her business - I had brought the friend along to encourage them to sign up for a few classes, you can bet they changed their mind after that little incident - and if I hadn't been close to finishing courses I'd spent a few thou on, I'd have walked out myself. Fast forward several years, I'm back in town and looking for some classes, and I heard the previous woman has retired, so I think I'll try again - I mean, I did like their flexible hours and their easy to follow lessons - it's totally possible it was just a personality clash or that she was just a really terrible manager, right? I wish. I remembered how pushy they were in person, so I sent them an email from an address I use when I'm pretty sure I'm going to get spam from signing up for something, and didn't give a real phone number. All I want is the pricing on a couple of individual courses. Two days later, I get a vague email back telling me they can't just tell me their prices, they have to "work out a personalized package" for me (ie they will push you like hell to take out student loans if you can't afford it on your own). I'm not interested in a business that won't give me answers without getting me in the door first, so I didn't bother answering - and a few days later I get my first spam email. Yup, they signed me up for a mailing list they never asked me if I wanted to be on. That right there earns them a one-star rating. Everything else is just rancid icing on the spam cake.

Christian education is very important to us, and what an amazing group of teachers who love our kids and The Lord. We have 4 kids who attend and all love going to school each day. We are blessed by CS Lewis Academy.

K-12 Christian education, challenging academics, biblical worldview, nurturing environment, small class size. we love CSLA!
