Christian Family Academy

Facebook mission says that this school is to train ministers and missionaries. Although we all should minister to others and share Christ, the parents need to know if this is literally what the school is for. There has been a de-emphasis on the importance of education and college prep because it has been said that the school is there only for spiritual growth of the student. Spirituality is important but the payment for education is for the child to receive an education. The school is not without harsh criticism of people that don't see the same vision as it does. Is this Christian love? This is a family run organization.

Operates 6 hours daily, less than 180 days , and has less than 100 students. Three teachers dismissed this summer because of low enrollment. Two specialized in math. While choosing Christian education, I agree with the first comment that parents should be involved in it. No young child should be counseled on serious spiritual matters without parental involvement. I would challenge the "highest test scores around "comment too. As compared to what? The scores are not posted. The students are prepped prior to the standardized testing. Yes, it is important that children be taught values and a Christian viewpoint, but a school has to offer strong educational components too. God needs Christians in all fields many requiring college degrees. Sometimes Chrisitan institutions become so small and unique that they become exclusionary and fearful of the world. They discourage any thinking that is different from its leaders. Communication is a problem.

I recommend this school to everyone I know. The teachers are wonderful. They truly love Christ, and it shows! The school offers advanced learning, many activities, and wonderful chapels. There is a specific schedule that is stuck to. In regards to the first comment, children actually receive 30 to 45 minutes of playground time daily. I'm not sure why a parent said differently. Great school! If you are looking for a Christian school in the area, check this one out!

Love It! We have only had a child in the school for 1 year but we could not be more pleased. My child not only hears the Word taught but sees it in action daily. My child has excelled academically and can not wait for school to start again.

Highly recommend. I have been involved with several Christian schools and have never seen anything close to this school. Your child will grow spiritually. Teachers invest in students in a very personal manner. Classes are hands on and make learning fun. As a result, this school has some of the highest test scores in the area.

Fantastic school! We love it! Excellent curriculum and wonderful teachers. My child is soaring academically and spiritually. There is a great structure and children are encouraged daily. I recommend this school to anyone looking for a Christian school. The staff really has a love for Christ, and it shows!

Would not recommend this school. Very disorganized. Very little communication to parents. Parental involvement not encouraged. Educational guidelines unclear. Very little science or history. No computers. Too much emphasis on spiritual decisions without parental permission or input. Chaotic. Financial difficulties. Gets smaller every year. Children are on the playground more than they are in class.
