My 2 youngest children attended this school from k-4 thru 8th grade. Both excelled in high school, due in part to the solid foundation that was laid by the instruction they received. Great teachers, caring warm environment, and great leadership have made ABCA a great educational choice

This school has terrible academics, and teaches extreme hate and ignorance against other religions. Students have been put into extreme danger by both trusted peers AND faculty for having differing moral opinions, and, unless you are part of the body of hatred or you wish for your child to carry deep emotional scars throughout their lives, this school is not the one for you.

My son has been at ABCA since K-3. He is now in 2nd grade. At the end of K-4, he was reading. Since he has been there, all of his standardized test scores has shown him above his grade level in all subjects. The atmosphere is very nuturing and the administration is very good. My son loves his school and as a parent, I have had a very postive experience.

My son has attended ABCA since K-3. He is in his fourth year there in 1st Grade and is ahead of public school children in reading, language, computer skills and mathematics by at least one grade level. The small class sizes and unbelievable love and attention by the teachers is superior.

I have 3 kids attending ABCA and I am very satisfied with the curriculum and the learning environment. My 4 year old entered prek 4 last year, not knowing much of his alphabet and having difficulty adjusting to a school setting. By the end of the school year, he was reading Step 1 readers. ABCA teachers have worked wonders with my other kids too.

My child attended ABCA for 8 years. It is evident by visiting the campus that the teachers and staff provide a loving, caring environment for the children to learn in. The curriculum is challenging. The administration is great. Would highly recommend this school.

My children have attended Arundel Bay for the last 10 years. This is a wonderful school. The teachers are wonderful and new principal (Tammie Hall) is a breath of fresh air. I would strongly recommend this school.

My child has been at Arundel Bay for 2 years and he has learned alot. This is an excellent school, the teachers are wonderful and the administrative staff are great. The principal (Julie Simpson) is a very respectable person. She is always available to answer any questions or concerns that at parent may have. Principal Simpson is an important asset to this school.

Arundel Bay has an accelereated curriculum and an academic program. They offer Music, Art, Spanish, and PE two-three times a week. It is incoroporated in with the curriculum. It is a loving, nurturing environment. The parents are welcome in the classroom and the school welcomes parental involvment.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
