Good school ,they do a great job teaching the children about Spiritual principals and the law of Kindness. However,the office staff can sometimes seem rude if you ask them for any assistance especially ,Maria Parmenter she acts like she is doing you a favor when she answers the phone.They should extend the kindness lessons to her and Mrs. Kuebler.My husband's first experience at the school was when he was dropping off my son's vaccination records he was greeted by an angry teacher, who yelled at him and scolded him for walking towards the office even after he explained he was a current parent who had called and let them know he would be passing by. Apparently, when he complained about her they told her oh yes that is Mrs. Kuebler she is always that way. They do have excellent assistants such as Ms.Lantingua and Ms.Machado and Ms. Jessica working from morning until 6 sometimes 6:30pm.These three ladies are God sent!The school has a caring teaching/ assistant staff but obviously needs help in the administration department.Because of the teachers/ assistants one can overlook the office, Mrs.Kuebler and the miscommunications or lack thereof of the unprofessional administration,
Excellent teachers...Good participation with parents involvement. A very good school to send your children for learning & spiritual growth.
EXCELLENT SCHOOL! FROM THE PRINCIPAL TO THE VERY LAST POSITION, WONDERFUL PEOPLE. I LOVE THEM ALL. GOD IN HIS MERCY WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS THIS SCHOOL.
Abundant Life Academy has been a complete Blessing to my son's life. The teachers are wonderful, the level of education is excellent and I couldn't be happier. This is my son's first year here after moving to the area, he is in 8th grade and he loves it too. The only negative is I feel they don't have enough activities as far as baseball, instruments ect.. but for the lack of that we have the blessings of a GOD centered school and that is what is most important!! You will not be disappointed with this school at all.
The teachers love the students, the teachers come in every day at 7am to pray for the students, the students are doing work that other students in higher grades in other schools do, the curriculum is very advanced and the cost per pupil for tuiton is very low and the building is very safe.
The principal is a blessing. The teachers are awesome. The interaction between parents and teachers is excellent. My kids and I love this school.
Abundant Life Academy has a great structured curriculum. The principal is the best. Wonderful Christian education.
This school is an absolute blessing! I can't begin to say enough about this school. The teachers, aides & staff are all wonderful. The level of education is exceptional. They not only teach our children but they truly love them and with Christ at the center of it all our children are also being taught about the love of Jesus in themselves and how they need to show that to others. The 'Law of Kindness' is always in place. My son has been here since K4. He is currently in 5th grade. My daughter, will also attend when she is old enough. I truly believe that the financial sacrifice is well worth it. What the children receive in return is priceless.
I believe my child has received a high quality of education, our neighbor goes to a public school in Clifton, the neighbor is in one grade above my child. My child is able to help or do the other childs work, wow! I also love how the older kids are taught to be kind and helpful towards the little ones, the older kids set a good example for the little ones, Lastly it's great to know the pricipal and VP are know so many kids by name and they stop to talk to and encourage the kids.
Abundant Life Academy is a wonderful school. It is a Kingdom school built on God's values and encourages academic excellence on children. They have various activities throughout the year that allows students and parents to participate together. Their best activity is the Kindness challenge wherein the students are asked to earn points by doing acts of kindness. The points are earned to reach a goal and once the goal is reached the whole school has a pizza party. The kindness principle is brought about by being kind out of having Jesus in your heart. It is the effort of the whole community. The school has a level from K3 to High School and this mix turns out good since you would see High School students being role models for the younger kids.
My daughter has been in this school from K-4 until presently second grade. The school is fantastic. It has a warm, Christian atmosphere and the facilities are absolutely gorgeous and top notch. My son also attends ALA. The faculty is excellent and the children receive individual attention. I've visited other private and public schools and they don't compare to ALA. The tuition is very reasonable and the atmosphere is phenomenal.
