Enterprise Preparatory Academy

As a current university student and past student of EPA, I can unreservedly say I am thankful I left before high school. As a biology major, I speak with authority when I say the religious dogmatic curriculum is unfit for teaching science. The curriculum teaches anti-evolutionism and anti-conservationism. Granted, this may fall within your own religious leanings, it is diametrically opposed to the central teachings of modern biology -- which is necessary to master before going to medical school, dental school, graduate school in the life sciences... Much of the physical science curriculum goes by the wayside when learning about only Bible-believing historic chemists and physicists and not about many central figures in such disciplines. Additionally, historical, governmental, economic, and literary texts are presented from a hyper-conservative and unilateral point of view. In short, I feel this is not a school in which one can foster intellectualism necessary for future academic success at the highest level.

What a joy it is to come to Enterprise Prep everyday. This school is not large in size, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for with HEART! Our children are given a safe, Christian environment to come to each day. The administration, teachers and staff work hard to give the students the best possible education. Our headmaster ALWAYS has her door open to listen and parents are encouraged to be a part of their childs day.

This school is owned by a couple and not is not facilitated like most schools are. It is very different. Some issues are resolved and some are not. We liked it but may not be coming back. I'm not sure if it is really worth the asking cost. I think you should know this before signing the agreements. You will have to pay for a lot. Including the lunches with are super expensive. Some work does not come home too. You may wonder where your child is at times with his work. A safe place overall. Field trips could improve. And I wish they would not allow some trouble makers into the school for financial reasons.

Enterprise Prep Academy does not have the problems I have read in some of the one star reviews. The school must have changed in the last few months because my children have not experienced any negativity from the teachers or the staff. We are happy with the ability to be able to pray and have chapel in school and are pleased with the education the children are receiving. Thank you for being a beacon of light in Enterprise.

EPA provides a wonderful Christian education. Our family is so happy with EPA and my children are excited to go to school each day.

This school is terrible and this is really reflected in it's graduates. Well over half are not in college/and or not succeeding in college or even public schools. Get your child out before it's too late! Most of these 5 star reviews were probably written by staff/principal such as the one below. Teachers ARE NOT QUALIFIED. My son was a straight A student at EPA and now is struggling to catch up in public school.

You go into the school and tell you of all the Christian benefits and the family atmosphere. But my child has been hurt by this school for way too long. The teachers make unprofessional decisions and dont act as teachers. Most of the teachers that are assigned to teaching a class arent properly educated in the subjects. I do not agree to how they run the sports programs. The kids most of the time sit and listen to the teachers rants rather then running around getting Physical Education. Their schedule is always interrupted by the Coaches or other teachers. The children miss up to 4 classes a week between chapel and interruptions. They are very un-Christian like in many circumstances. My child has grown up in the Enterprise Preparatory Academy school system and I wish that they would have prepared him/her more for college/new school. My son/daughter is behind on many subjects and His/her credits are not as if they should be. I am not impressed. Once we decided to leave the school they turned there back on my family and many other families which decided to leave.

Horrible school above the elementary grades. Their middle and high school programs are not acedemic at all. Seriously, I wouldn't send my dog there. The owners are not concerned about students. When I went to them with concerns she told me, "We are a business first. That is out primary concern."

EPA has been such a blessing to our family. The teachers are committed to our children and the kids are so motivated.

EPA is a great school and I am glad I am a student here. I would not ever want to go anywhere else. We need to support this school. Where else are we going to get a school that Prays and says pledges to the American Flag, Christian Flag and the Bible!! We carry our Bibles and we READ them at school and we pray in the name of Jesus. Why would anyone put that down??

My child attended prek here. She is at public school this year for kindergarten. And while I was happy with her academic progress at this young age, I was very disappointed with the administration. Constant fundraisers through the year, hidden fees which were not revealed prior to enrollment. Also, school was cut short for my child by approximately 2 weeks with only one weeks notice prior to the end of the school year. Not impressed.

The administration and staff are very disorganized. This is not a prep school. Many of the teachers are not qualified. It professes to be a ''Christian'' school, but it's not. They talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. Don't waste your time OR money!!!!

This school is not, I repeat not, worth anyone's time or money that is over the 6th grade. This school will not prepare your child for anything above the 6th grade! Majority of the teachers who teach high school are not qualified to teach the subjects they are assigned to teach. The administration is very unorganized and has no leadership. This is not a Christian based school. The sports at this school is not based on one's talent, but is based on favoritism. This school has too many cliques and many of the kids curse, are very rude, and two faced. This school is so fake and will not ever prepare your child for college. The curriculum combines Christianity/the subject. Your child will never learn from this. Do not expect anything great and grand from this school.

The administration is very disorganized. With the exception of the Goverment and English teachers, this school has no quality teachers. The students often have to explain concepts to the teachers, espeacially in chemistry. An A here is equal to a low B in public school. The only saving grace about this school is the small class size.

I am a graduate of EPA and the people who think this school is anything less than above any other curriculum or atmosphere are too ignorant to see whats in front of them. If you can complain about pitching in for 15 minutes at the end of the day to sweep a gym you enjoy using, then you don't have very much responsibility or work ethic. Enterprise Preparatory Academy provides an opportunity to go above and beyond where students ever thought they could go academically and spiritually. The only things the teachers require are a good attitudes and a want or even willingness to learn. The people who don't enjoy EPA are the ones who don't want to put any effort into learning. This school is God's plan and it will prosper. Go Patriots!

I am a teacher at EPA and has been for three years. The school is growing and gives each student a great start on a spiritual life. All the teachers are wonderful. The foundation and moral values of the school is what all students need. The individual lesson pland, attention, turorting, and help your child nee willbe provides at eaver level. The school is completely child/student centered. Your child best interest is what is important. We teach the four year olds ot read and write in print and cursive. And yes, they can do it. This school will provide your child with an advantage spiritually, morally, and educationally. I love it.

I am a former student at EPA and Id have to say that this school is not a good school for anyone above 4th grade.The education offered to us was not good at all and we couldnt learn as much because we only had subjects that should be required such as English,Science,and History for half a year. I found that as I went to public school this year that I am struggling to keep up because I only know half of what Im suppose to know when we reviewed the first day!!!! (and I was an straight A student at EPA) The school itself was barely standing as it is. I mean the walls were made of barely more than paper (litterly) and there was not heat in the gym during winter.We would also have to clean the gym during our class periods because the school couldnt afford a janitor.I meen

This school is awesome. It has changed so much over the past two years. The new faculty members are wonderful as well as the new principal. Our children have thrived in the environment and are doing exceptionally well on standardized tests.
