Caldwell Academy

We have been at Caldwell for several years. There are many things I do love about the the school, but as of this year more that worries me. The Staff does not handle problems in a Godly manner. Much favortism is shown at this school and not much is done about bullying. I have been very disappointed this year and am not sure how much longer we will be here, along with many others

When we started this school it was a wonderful school. Over time adminstration changed and over the next few years the school started to become a "Money" business instead of a school that cared. My child didn't get the education we paid for. When they went to College, they had to take basic classes to get them to college level. My children hated Caldwell because the student were VERY mean, not showing God love and grace. They came home crying a lot, because the kids were mean. One of my children was touch by some boys in places that you should not be touched, and they also said horrible things to them, several times during class and teacher ignore the behavior. If you work for the school or you're on the broad your kid can get away with just about anything... School Not Worth Paying for... my kids have gotten a lot education from public school.

I really don't like this school at all... The teachers were good back in elementary school but once we got to middle and high school it all went downhill. i mean not a single one of the teachers i had this year (9th grade) could teach. The ciriculum (sorry i spelled that wrong) is really hard and I found myself studying soooo much and still failing the tests. Also, a new addition this year was the humanities class. It lasted three hours three times a week and it might be THE most pointless class i have ever taken. I learned a ton about the church in the middle ages (why do we need to know that?) and thats about it. Also you do not get as much credit for doing more work and getting good grades as you do at public school for doing less work and getting decent grades. Some people like this school. i dont know why. I think its because they like the people. Once again i don't know why but i respect their decisions. This school only teaches about God and almost nothing else. It just goes way overboard on Christianity. Well thats about it... I'm so glad i'm leaving this year.

My child started Caldwell in high school and previously had only been homeschooled. The adjustment was easy, The staff and students for the most part have been wonderful. My child has been able to manage sports and keep up academically. There have been a few issues but everything has been dealt with very well and we are very pleased. We really love the headmaster program and the transparency of the school/classes. Teachers and staff have been very willing to meet with us to discuss any issues and or tutor our child when extra help was needed. We feel it is a priviledge to attend Caldwell and it has been very benefical for our child. Lord willing, our intent is for our child to complete high school at Caldwell. It is a wonderful oppourtunity if you can afford it.

i do NOT like this school i am a student here and i have so many problems with staying focused because of my ADHD and no one cares. I am very shy and just overall anti- social and have trouble making friends here. i don't like the uniforms ether because they make you feel uncomfortable and gym is weird. But popular athletic like kids that are social like this school, of course.

its OKAY but its hard to make friends because most everybody has friends. everyone is nice and stuff but thats doesn't mean they are your friends. school work is kinda a challenge but it i can deal with it.

we have been at Caldwell for many years and have saw a lot of changes... It used to be a great school, but over the years we have seen it decline in all areas... The adminstration is great until you have an issue and they don't have a clue. We have had teachers who have said they don't care if our kids pass or fail. There are a few really bad teachers and a few really good teachers the rest fall in the middle. Caldwell is not worth the money......

I am an A plus student here. But I would much rather go to another school if I had a choice. Really the only thing different is the teaching of Bible and Logic but I don't really care. As Christians, God told us to be missionaries, but how can we do that with only Christians around us, and not time because of school to really do that. If your child is an athlete or someone in the dramatic arts, do not send them here, they will not like it at all.

Father of four: The leadership and teaching methodology at Caldwell is excellent, focused on developing personal character and excellence in eduction as building blocks for our kids future. Opportunities in the arts and sports grow each year. Caldwell is a Christian school, but not religious. If you ever wanted a school who supports your moral worldview and educational desires for your children, this is the place.

Caldwell is a great school, they encourage kids younger and older to do the right thing.
