I highly recommend this school to any parent who wishes to instill the best qualities in life and the best education imaginable. TCA is teaching children to live their life with respect, discipline, consideration, love and with a commitment to God. The children start their day with a burst of positive energy from singing, to worship and prayer to discussion and praise. Is the curriculum difficult? At first, yes. But is it worthwhile? Most definately. This school is not for parents who are afraid of their children being corrected for bad behavior, for parents who want the easy way out, or for parents who feel like too much to early is not a good idea. This school is for those parents who want the best education for their child and for those parents who want their children to be respectful to them as well as others.

I do not recommend this school. Parent involvement is not encouraged in any way. The environment is outrageously stressful for children in all grade levels. My child was enrolled for 3 years. Towards the end, she was crying every morning and complaining that she didn't want to go. The headmaster is not professional, open to criticism nor encourages any interaction between the teachers or families that attend. The main focus is on extravaganza and not education. So much is thrown at the child that the basic building blocks and foundation to grow is not planted. The final straw came when I began to see my cheerful, happy talkative child becoming a stressed, withdrawn and easily upset child. Mr Robinson either chooses to look the other way or has no idea what is happening in his own backyard. I was very disappointed to say the least.

This is my 3rd year as a Carver parent and I wouldn't trade the education my kids are getting for anything. With 3 languages and many technological upgrades, the main focus of the Carver Academy is respect and discipline. I plan to keep my kids there as long as possible and encourage any parents interested in the school to go for a tour and see what its all about. You'll be as impressed as I've been.

This is a wonderful school my son has been attending since he was in PK. He is now in the first grade and is very ahead in many areas like reading, math, german,spanish and jap. This school focuses on leadership and discipline. I encourage any parent who wants their child to be ahead, to put them in The Carver Academy, if they are accepted. The drive is worth it and the staff is wonderful!
