The King's Academy

HORRIBLE....STAY AWAY from this school. Nothing about this school is christian-like. The teachers are bullies and allow kids to be bullied! The last three posts describe this school as if I typed it myself! This school's value and the teacher portray a nurturing and loving environment but actually foster a culture built upon negativity.

This school has all the bells and whistles WITHOUT the christian values, The Staff does not exude a loving nurturing enviroment, they seem to be upset ALL THE TIME. Never saw a genuine smile among themselves. They are constantly asking for money and do not care about families in need. what a great dissappointment!!!! The worse part is that The parents are the last to know when their child is being bullied they keep it hush hush with no paper trail. The elementary guidance counselor is prejudice and will keep your child there in her office all day if she feels like it over a little infraction....then forced child to confess over something she didn't do. The Guidance counselor is basically a bully herself. YOUR CHILDS" WORTH" IS BASED ON HOW MUCH YOU DONATE TO THE SCHOOL,

I thought I found a school for my child for the next 12 yrs. Kindergarten was horrible w Mrs. Sexton and Mrs. Roberts! My child lost his always "love to learn" attitude. He was sent home with a negative remark on his paperwork :( I stopped showing him the negative and just built him up on his accomplishments. I also pd Mrs Sexton $40 a wk to tutor.What a waste!His summer tutor after the 1st 2 sessions has him reading at a 1st grade level! The families of Kings are in clicks!..not very warm They are not inviting. I feel like I am in HS again! I expected

We selected this school because we thought it was the perfect educational environment for our child. After all, it's promoted as a top Christian school in PBC. However, our experience has been that this school is consumed by money; tuition costs are unreasonably high; and teachers/administrators are obsessed with disciplining students and imposing infractions for seemingly minor uniform code violations. Instead, they ought to focus on creating a nurturing learning environment for our children and building relationships with them that encourage a thirst for knowledge and the development of character.

Hello I previously attended this school and I loved it at first until the values declined with the new campus. The focus turned to money rather than spiritual enrichment of the students. It's very dificult to serve two masters(God and Money).

My grandchildren attend The King's Academy and I could not be more pleased with the school. I have noticed that their skilss are higher than average when compared to children in the same grade at other schools. I am also glad that grandparents are valued and included in school activities, especially the annual 'Grandparents' Day' celebration.

We are blessed to be part of the TKA family. My two children love it! The teachers and staff are wonderful. The education is excellent!

I attended this school during high school. For many years I wanted to go there. The extracurricular activities here are phenomenal and a great way to meet other kids. I really liked most of the kids I met there, in all grades. In high school, many teachers 'pick on' certain kids for disciplinary issues, and most are unwilling and relentless on uniform codes for certain students (those not involved in chapel leadership, etc.) and not on others. O felt that some teachers worried too much about scolding students rather than creating a relationship with them. One of my substitute teachers said the same thing. Secondary discipline is too involved. Teachers need to make a real impact on students and work on their relationships so that, in turn, their education is solidified. Some students are very nice, some are extremely judgmental if you do not fit into a certain 'Christian' mold.

When my daughter was in elementary at Kings, I loved the nurturing environment. However, her high school experience was below average. The classes were too easy, and the teachers did not seem to know the material required for higher level learning. I enrolled my daughter at a nearby public high school and found that she was way behind in basic knowledge in all academic areas. Very disappointing! With tutoring and help from some exceptional teachers at the public school, my daughter finally caught up. She was a solid A/B student at Kings, so apparently, the teachers there believed she was doing fine. It took us a year of extra help a the public school for her to be a solid B student. I'm pleased that she caught up enough to do well in college - I don't know if she would've been able to succeed at college with her King's education.

As an alumnus of The King's Academy, I would highly recommend for any child looking for education, social involvement, and extra activities. Fantastic teachers, Fantastic Parents, great staff who love the children. And the best part of it all is the feeling og God's love in everything that is accomplished at the school.
