Solano Christian Academy

I find that SCA's staff truly care and the curriculum is quite challenging. Like many schools these days (public and private) they do not have the money to have extracurricular activities, but that is more than made up for by their focus on academics and spirituality. I highly recommend them.

My daughter had a great experience with SCA. We had to pull her out during 1st grade due to financial problems. She has been in public school for two years and the experience was good minus a few problems with the kids. We decided to re-enroll her into SCA. They gave her a great start in school. In fact she is reading two grades above her grade level. The only complaint I have is they don't have enough focus on athletics. For this, I tell the parents to register your kids in outside sport program...we did. She is very excited about going back and we can't wait.

This is a great school for children grades k-5. 6Th grade and up, you're better off sending them to public school. The teachers do not know how to motivate the children. Our daughter had very good grades up until 6th grade. There are no extracurricular activities, so i don't see how that got a 3 star rating. I would strongly suggest only bringing your kids to this school up until middle school.

My daughter has been at SCA for 6 year now and we really do enjoy it. It's such a small school that you really do feelit's one big family. Their focus is on the academics which is great for kids this young. Not to mention they are very focused on respect. As they get into the higher grades, they get more strict and they teach the kids to take responsibility of their own work. No sports programs and such, but that'll come into play when high school comes around. So yes, we wish they had sports programs and music and so forth, but big deal - they're learning at a great speed. As far as being well informed by the teachers, we've never had a problem. Perhaps it's just the amount of parent/child communication that needs to improve. Not the school.

I have two children that attended SCA in the past 6 years. SCA used to be good but has gone down tremendously over the years. The new administration is terrible, they do not care about you or your child and do what is best for them to not deal with you or the problem. As your child gets older you see the deterioration. We have had no more than 4 good teachers. When issues arise in the classroom you are not informed and you're not kept current on your child's progress, it is like pulling teeth, unless you are in the in crowd. My children have learned more from the public schools then from SCA. SCA is not above the public schools, the children are behind when they leave to public. There are no extra curricular activities and the teachers have no special training in any area for the children's progress.

I really love the great foundation and atmosphere of the school. The school does have many great teachers like Ms Gibb & Ms Reed worth every dime and then some. If you get passed the one bad teacher I would recommend this school to others. The school is well equipped with computers in all the class rooms high speed internet , library and great Principle & Vice Principle.

This school is fine for students that are in the lower grades (such as Pre-k through 3rd or 4th), but after that I believe it doesn't offer too much for the upper grades. There are a few outstanding teachers such as Mrs. Q or Mrs. Reed, but some teachers are out of touch with the real world. We enjoyed the family atmosphere. The school doesn't offer extracurricular activities such as music, sports, art, etc. There have been a few changes in the administration over the last couple of years; it's hard to say if it's for the best or not. The academic program is okay, but not every teacher shares the same enthusiasm to teach. We had to speak with the administration regarding two teachers that appeared to lack the proper training to instruct a class. Overall, it's a good fundamental start for your child's education.

SCA is a wonderful school! My child attended SCA for the K-2nd grades. We missed enrollment and my child ended up entered public school for the 3rd grade..needless to say, my child is returning to SCA for the 4th grade! If you are able to enroll your chilren in private school, I recommend that you do--there is nothing equivalent to the teaching style, the personal attention and the family like atmosphere that your child receives at SCA.

I have been affliated with Solano Christian Academy for many years. My children went there and now my grandchild attend. I have watch the school change over the years. The teachers are outstanding and the adminstration has worked hard on lifting the standards. The school is very heavy into technology, with all students from pre-school to 8th in a computor program. I love the warm and homey feel. Great values and morals are expected and everyone is excepted.

The quality of academics at SCA was 'good'. The benefits of this school are the smaller class size, chapel, and more one on one with the children. If you want a small school for your child this is the one.
