Covered Bridge Academy

Covered Bridge Academy has a diverse community of students and lends itself to providing an enriched education. Although there have been some changes at the school, the leadership and teachers alike have been empathetic and quick to accomodate any concerns. CBA strives to provide a nuturing and structured environment to foster optimal education.

Covered Bridge Academy offers an enriching and rigorous curriculum for primary students during the regular school year. The Academy's summer program, however, could be much better. The first two years of the summer program were fabulous...swimming lessons, great activities and themes. This past summer was a different story...the school's swimming program fell through and there wasn't any attempt to replace it with another activity(s) or program. The summer theme started out well for the first two sessions but by the middle of the summer the 'theme' disappeared. t went from "physical education' i.e., learning about the human body, movement and different types of physical activities to coloring sheets about butterflies. I hope that the program next year will be better.

My son was in the summer program last year which was terrible. He takes medication daily and they forgot to administer and were not even aplogetic.

My son's teacher is very good and he is doing very well academically. The administration is not very friendly or helpful, they create a negative environment. The summer camp program was terribly last year, disorganized with few activities and a high pricetag for nothing but baby sitting.

I am a new parent at CBA elementary, and I cannot sing its praises high enough. Already they have had an overnight campout which was a huge success. My child will remember this experience forever.

I agree that the school runs on the strength of the dedicated teachers and staff who work there. They know all the children and parents on a first-name basis and are always willing to do whatever is needed to help each child.

All four of my children attended CBA over the last 20 years. It was a positive experience for all of them, even when one or all of them had an issue that needed to be resolved. The owners are committed to Montessori. This school is a lab school for a Montessori teacher training center, so you know they mind their P's and Q's. Overall, their strength is in the teachers. This school attracts A+ teachers who are committed to Montessori. My children still talk about the teachers they had at this school. They are in highschool now, making great grades in gifted academic and performing arts. We went for a visit recently, and my children went directly to the shelves of Montessori material and started doing the work with big smiles on their faces. Montessori works!

CBA is a wonderful place for children. The staff, especially the teachers and office staff are warm and caring. My three children have flourished at CBA. Even if my children hit a bump in the road, it was dealt with in a nurturing manner. The school offers Spanish, Music, Art, and PE as well as a host of afterschool activities from piano lessons to soccer. The PTO is active and strong. This year, all the classes received new laptops and programs to track student progress to ensure greater accountablity. What is interesting about this, the teachers asked for it! I am proud to be a CBA parent!
