I had some of the best teachers while attending this school. When I went to college I felt I had more knowledge than my peers in certain subjects - especially English and Math - which are core classes to complete any 4 year degree. College felt like a breeze thanks to the great education I had received at SDA. While at SDA I felt like the teachers really took an interest in my progress and offered their help if I had any trouble. One of my teachers encouraged me to apply for private scholarships in order to be able to pay for my college education - of which I received plenty to cover my first 2 years of college. I will always be thankful to SDA for having such a great impact in my education!
Currently I am attending San Diego Academy and found the school to be an excellent place to grow spiritually and academically. I love the highschool activities and family atmosphere. The atmosphere is very trusting and i enjoy the feeling of being safe. The teachers are great. The small classes help develop a one-on-one relationship with the teachers, which i enjoy because it helps me realize that i'm not simply a number waiting in line, but a student who needs attention.
I currently attend San Diego Academy, and its the best decision I've ever made. I have grown academically, as well as spiritually.
My 3 children attend San Diego Academy (grades K, 2nd and 5th). I find the staff at San Diego Academy from Principal, to Front office staff and teachers to be outstanding! San Diego Academy is a K-12 private Christian school with a wonderful music program with dedicated music teachers for all 12 grades. This year K-9 grades presented the musical 'Annie Jr.' with raving success! I have found the elementary teachers to be wonderfully kind and loving, besides being outstanding in academics. The teachers take personal interest in each child and class size is limited to 25 students. With 3 children in the elementary grades I find myself looking forward each year to the stability of low staff turnover (in otherwords, next year my youngest son will have the same fantastic 1st grade teacher as his older sister and brother before him). I'm an alumnus myself from this school!
Seems OK, very serious about getting their money, wish more parents were as interested in participating as I am
My children have been in this school for most of their education. The actual level of academic excellence has varied from teacher to teacher, and grade to grade. Many parents feel frustrated with the difficulty a number of students have transitioning from junior high to high school at this school, but it seems this year the staff is responding to the issue. I am glad my children have a place to go to school where there are teachers who care, and other children who believe like they do. I believe it is worth the sacrifice (if there is one) of having a teacher that may be a little less qualified on paper, for my children to be in an environment that promotes christian values, and teachers that seem to want them to succeed. I am thankful for this school!
I attended this school and it was the greatest expereince of my life, because of the great expereince I had at this school I highly recommend it. It is a good place to be.
The teachers are extremely dedicated. I appreciate the fact they work here at this school at a lower salary than they could make elsewhere. I also appreciate the christian atmosphere and discipline at the school. My three children have been so blessed to attend this school. The curriculum is of much higher standards than public schools and also the music program at the school is great. Praise be to God for this school which provides christian education and higher standards to young people.
