New Chapel Christian Academy

I am a parent at New Chapel Christian Academy and I love it there. I have two children there and they are doing really well. True NCCA does not have a library, but that's not important. The prices are very reasonable. I agree that some of the students need to be in special education classes, but that's up the parent. Foreign language is good, but not necessary at the elementary level. The teachers are very caring. Overall, NCCA is an excellent school.

New Chapel Christian Academy is a good for beginner students; for ages 2-5. However, the older students should enroll in a school with more to offer such as, music, special education, math, science, computer lab, foreign language, etc. There is no library. The school staff members are wonderful , warm and caring. I would recommend this school but there are more I came to realize that is being offer in public school.

I would say overer NCCA is a good school. Sure there is room for improvement , but what school doesnt need improvement. My main concern when my childern go to school is their safety and well being, next I wanted to see if my childern were learning, and yes they are learning. Parents remember no one thing nor person is perfect. The office staff is very help and understanding, lately at time I may cant pay tution on the date they request, and they ask me so when are you able to pay, just let us know. To reply to acomment about their child learned something that you would learn in public school, yes that is so true cause it happen to my little girl, but its not the school it was the students bring topics and comments to school that they learn outside of the school. I reccomend NCCA 100%

I would have to agree 110% with the comment that was posted: 'This school is very disorganized, staff and administration are very inexperienced. The school is not conducive for learning and growing academically. The school is supposed to be Christian; however the staff is not very Christ-like. As a parent I was very displeased, and would not recommend this school to my worst enemy.' But I would have to add that it is not conducive for growing spiritually either. The things that my child learned (and reproduced) while attending this school, could have been learned in a public school. If it were not for us, I don t think he would have gotten any spiritual support. NCCA needs an overhaul and prayer.

New Chapel is an excellent school and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone. It provides a safe, christian and loving environment for children. I'm so very sorry that I had to put my son in public school because we could not afford tuition and childcare at the same time. I find myself trying to figure out how to fill the void that New Chapel filled with religion, extra curricular activities. They also have excellent male role models which I especially miss. I thank God for the New Chapel ministry and the wonderful impression the staff has left in my son's heart.

I must say that this is not even on the list of schools I would recommend. The school doesn't even have a library. They have no extracurricular activities and the language is not always Christian like. They are extremely unorganized and you will find at least half the staff out at the same time. Administration holds grudges and acts in a very heathenistic way. Test scores have been ruined by flooding and they are not in this century as far as automation is concerned. The school is too cheap to offer staff development and they lack testin to ensure that they are enrolling students that they can handle both academically and behavior wise. I have no idea who or what is being glorified at NEW CHApel and you should really look at this school before enrolling your son or daughter. The principal knows nothing about child development.

When our two-year old started this Summer, we couldn't have imagined it to go so well! The staff from Door to Door have welcomed us as Family. It's not every day that a child really wants to stay at school, and our daughter does! We have seen her grow Spritually and Emotionally over the few months in this great environment. We can't wait to see how the school year goes! What a comfort it is leaving our child in a prayed up, loving AND educational place. We are so grateful for NCCA!

NCCA is a very good school. My son started there in K-3 this past school year and he loved it. His K-3 teachers were great and very caring. I was also impressed by my son's growth and all that he has learned while at NCCA.

I also agree that NCCA is an excellent school. Their focus is on the students and not trying to glorify themselves! I love that about them. They are so friendly and the tuition is very affordable. My didn't begin attending NCCA until his kinderdarten year and I thought he was going to be behind as well because his pre-school did not push him as much. He was ahead of his pre-school classmates, but the teachers there did not push him to go further. At NCCA, they push him to his fullest and more. I love NCCA!! The teachers, faculty, security team, administration ... everyone has been so helpful and friendly and they are like another family to me! I am happy with how my son is learning. Much KUDOS to the K-5 instructors and the assistants for the 2007 - 2008 school year!!! I thank God for NCCA! Mrs. B

My husband and I made the rough decision to switch my daughter during the middle of the school year b/c we were so unhappy with her current pre-school. Upon entering New Chapel, she was behind and I informed her teacher I though that would be a problem. Her teacher informed us that she would help get her up to speed and that indeed she did. My daughter was caught up and excelling thanks to her teacher one-on-one devotions to helping my daughter excel. I am very pleased with my daughter education, she is learning bible vs. and is excited to attend school. We are so please my son will soon be one and he will be attending in the coming year. I am just very please with the teachers and staff at New Chapel Christian Academy.

NCCA is an excellent school. My daughter has been a student there since K3. She is now in the 4th grade. There is nothing I can say negative about the school, principle or staff. The curriculum is excellent and the teachers are doing a wonderful job in teaching the students. NCCA is family oriented; they care about the parents and students concern when issue is at hand. I thank God for NCCA and all it has provided for our daughter in her education.

I am extremly satisfied with New Chapel. I removed my daughter from a center very close to New Chapel because I was not satisfied with the school or the teachers. My child is 3yrs old and they still had her in a 2 yr. old classroom. She was bored and uninterested. At New Chapel she is excited to go to school and looks forward to seeing her teacher. Her language and advancement in a matter of weeks has tremendously improved and I am so greatful. I informed her teacher that I thought she was behind and she told me not to worry she would handle it. I just want to say ahe is indeed handling it. My daughter is learning so much and enjoying it. She is even learning spanish and saying what she learned at home. Thank You New Chapel. We have found a definite home for the remainder of her elementary years.

New Chapel Christian Academy is a wonderful school. I must say this school was heaven sent to me. My husband and I had visited so many Christian Schools in this area, and none of them can compare. I feel our money is well spent. My son is currently in K-4, and I can see his growth academially in just these few weeks into the school year. He looks forward to going to school each day, and that means the world to me. That lets me know they are taking interest in the children they teach. I would recommend the school to anyone looking for the best for their child. We just wish we would have known about this school alot sooner.

I think the academic program at NCCA is exceptional. I have my two daughters there and they both are doing excellent in all thier academic studies. I will recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a caring invirorment for theire children to be. I am not say NCCA don't have it share of challeges but what educational faculity doesn't. I will keep my children for I as long as I can.

Unfortunately, I don't have many good things to say about this school except the principal is wonderful and some of the aides are caring. The teachers appear to be uneducated and uncaring. The office staff is there to socialize. They don't seem to be prepared to teach children based on need, they teach all at the same level when some are more advanced than others in that age group. Try boredom for the more advanced student. I was not impressed. My comment is inexperienced educatiors and staff. Not enough diversity, children need to be exposed to all people not just their own race. Culture shock upon leaving this place.

New Chapel is a wonderful school. My son has been going there for 2 years and he has excelled. I was really happy that in K-3 they had homework every night and spelling test by the end of the period. He will definitely be ready for kindergarten, if not ahead of the class. He is currently in K-4 and is able to complete some of my nieces 1st grade work. The teachers are great as well. His first few weeks last year were an adjustment but the staff cared for him as if he was a family member. If you are looking for a school that focuses really educating, try New Chapel. I also enjoy the that he is learning lots of things about the bible. He has learned bible verses,prayers and even lead class devotions. I wish I would have known about the school sooner. They take kids at 2.
