I simply love Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy!! My 4 year old son is enrolled in their Pre K program and I love his teacher, Ms. Annette Vick. She is passionate about education and she definitely delivers results. Although our son's R.E.A.L. education starts in our home, it is definitely re-enforced at this institution. We are definitely re-enrolling him for kindergarten next year.
SACA was the best in in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's but now its different. This mostly because of the new students. Since they are giving out academic scholarships more unchristian students have come thinking they can change Saca because they don't want to be there. The funding is also an issue if there was more money to go around we wouldn't be in this situation. But I'm just speaking for the high school. Elementary and middle school aren't really affected by this. High school just needs a makeover.
I was previously a student at SACA and i can tell you that there is really nothing christian about the school. There is a syndrome called big fish-small pond syndrome that passes around through the school and your child will be around many people of bad character and habits. There is no form of discipline and many of the teacher displine students according to how long theyve been at SACA or who theyre related to. Teachers claim to be involved with us but have a very hands off approach to academics. Many teachers abuse their power and when parents come around create inquiries of instilling discipline. They say they want your child to have the best education but Ive noticed that all the teachers i learn the most from have been fired mid-semester
I have 2 children at SACA.we fill that it is a wondreful christian environment my children they love their teachers expecially the ELC. I am glad we are here.
Saca is a excellent school! Everyone is like a big family! I love the school, My kids enjoy being here!
SACA has wonderful teachers, yet unfortunately they don't feel the need to speak up when they feel a change is needed and this affects the children. Our child attended the SACA Early Learning Center and is now behind most other students at other schools. His teacher apologizes for the unorganized nature of their ELC program and also for having too many responsibilities, which take away from her ability to teach our children - - my child. I'm so upset because I had heard SACA was a good school, yet I think it's mainly good for older students - not younger. If you want your child to have a baby sitter - take them to the SACA ELC. If you want your child to learn their ABC's and 123's, try another school!
Early Learning Center very unorganized. Not a place to put your child under 5 years old. School needs a major overall. Old classrooms and outdated equipment. Crazy bug problem in the playground area .
