Sonshine Christian Academy

EyI have two children in this school and it has been the worst experience EVER!!!! They treat my children like they are a red headed step child. They only listen to your concerns if you go to their church. My children have been picked on my daughter called fat numerous times....she is in vpk....and she is not fat..even if she was it is not very Christianly to belittle a child. My son is treated even worse....he has been physically hurt by other children in his class and when he brought it to the teachers attention she told him she does not like tattle tails......REALLY????? The last straw was when they took them out to PE and did not provide water before or during and it was 80 degrees outside....and the children had on their uniforms...when I brought this to the principles attention she proceeded to tell me that they water the children when PE is over. WHAT???? My son is not a plant. Please do your research first. Also, for some reason they teach that r makes the sound "er" L says "ool" and that M says "mmm". When did the Campbell's soup commercial become our phonics lesson.....

My daughter is attending the vpk program. She's only been in a couple of months and has learned so much. Thanks to the wonderful teachers and staff!

If you want a school that will not listen to you or your concerns, this would be the school for you. My daughter spent 1 semester here before I yanked her from this place. If you want to be talked at instead of talked to, this is your place. This is not a school, it is a joke. I STRONGLY recommend you do your research and keep records of EVERYTHING!!! Make copies. It will benefit you in the end!!!

My daughter just spent three years in Sonshine Christian Academy. It was a good experience and a blessing. This is a good school for children who benefit from a smaller school and more individual attention. The teachers are caring and truly emanate the standards of the Gospel.

I do not know one student who is happy here. Few staff members are helpful, and the curriculum is ignored. After transferring schools, my child found they were far behind. While supposed to be shining the light of God, they are simply scaring the students away from the truth by being overbearing.

I have watched my grandchildren grow academically and in their faith in Jesus Christ while attending Sonshine Christian. I could not ask for a better school for them to be in, or for their mother to teach in. I would give this school a 5 star rating.

Great program..never been disappointed...Christ centered...immediate response to all my inquiries...

My daughters began attending Sonshine in 4th, 6th, and 8th grades. I was fearful at first thinking how would they adjust. The staff was amazing, the curriculum is excellent.

SCA is the best!!! My son attended from K-3 until 9th grade. Very devoted to the children and their needs. We have enrolled my daughter in VPK and now Kindergarten. We highly recommend. They are not afraid to love your child and pray with and for them...God bless them. T.Tapley

SCA has been a wonderful blessing for my three girls. I could not have prayed for a better place to have them educated.

My children have been attending Sonshine for the past 4 years. In my opinon this is the best school around. Lots of one on one attention and spiritual guidance. The communication between the teachers and parents is fantastic. The teachers are not just teachers but mentors, examples of God's grace and mercy.
