Mount Juliet Christian Academy

I have to laugh when I read these. I graduated from here a few years ago and I can tell you that while I liked it Ok, I was not prepared for college. Also, as far as "ten percent having an ACT score of 30 or better", well that is 3 kids and when I graduated our score were low. Also if we are going to be honest (and I know that you wonderful "Christians" will be) let's tell the whole story and share that 40% never go or drop out of college, get someone pregnant or get pregnant and still live at home with their parents 10 years later.

The best choice for my high school education. I enjoyed it so much and made some awesome friends! This school has its priorities right, education comes first. They do this by offering a challenging curriculum that has made college a breeze thus far. The new headmaster is awesome as well! Definitely check it out. Being a recent graduate, I can assure you, MJCA impacted my life dramatically.

Mt. Juliet Christian Academy is one of the finest schools in Middle Tennessee. The teachers truly care. This year's senior class had over 10% of its students score in the 30's on the ACT. You can graduate from high school with 36 college credits. Yes, you can go to college as a sophomore if you take advantage of the opportunities provided at MJCA. MJCA also offers competitive sports, drama, fine arts, and much more. Please listen to the facts, and ignore people that have an ax to grind. God has blessed this great school. Come and be a part of this family.

I am a parent of a student at MJCA. I have no intention of ever leaving this great school! The education is very strong (which is proven by the better than 10% of the seniors scoring in the 30's on their ACT this year). MJCA also provides many opportunities for their students. Whether it is music, fine arts, athletics or student leadership groups, MJCA has it. I would encourage any parent to give MJCA a good look.

The people at this school (parents and staff) live in a fantasy world. They think that MJCA is some sort of utopia and believe me, it is severely flawed. Curriculum is dated, mediocre and bland. Teachers are unqualified and most are not state certified (look your child's teacher up on the Dept of Ed website).A friend summed it up perfectly ....This school is not "excellent" at anything. There is no quest for excellence, because of the "everyone is a winner" mentality. For example: EVERYONE makes the cheer squad, soccer, team etc...there are no real tryouts. If you can stand, you can participate. With this philosophy, why would anyone try harder or push themselves. This is why they have the worst athletic teams in the STATE. Look closely before choosing this school. ACT scores are LOWER than the public schools. Get the facts.

As a parent, my child's education and spiritual growth is the most important thing to me. We have attended Mt Juliet Christian Academy for 5 years. Every teacher that has crossed our path has been excellent! We both work in order to provide the income to pay for this school. We have not been on a vacation in 3 years so we can keep our child here. We have gotten more on the return of our tuition than we have paid! This is where you want your child to be due to teacher quality, princial leadership and parental involvement!

My daughter was damaged by the teachers at this school. She attended k-2nd grade and each year got worse. Her second grade teacher belittled kids, screamed, threw books and my daughtewr even saw her hit a child with a ruler. I went to the Principal over and over and I know that other parents did too. As far as I know this teacher is still there. My daughter is in middle school now (at another school) and she STILL tells me things that happened in that classroom that are hard to believe. Please ask othersthe community about this school before plputting your child here. It is one of my greatest regrets.

I did not listen to the negative things I had heard about this school. I went with it for covenience and a christian atmosphere. I now know why I got that "strange look" when I told people where I was sending my child. It has a reputation in the educational community as a second rate school with poor leadership and pathetic athletics and I understand why. We were there for one year of high school and I saw the light....quickly.

Excellent school! Teachers are top notch, the curriculum is challenging, and the administration is always available and helpful.

second rate...at best. I taught here for one year and could not believe the unethical things I witnessed. Parents run the school, certain kids get priveleges while others don't. I saw grades changed and behaviors overlooked. It was unbelievable...and as far as being ahead of the public schools? what a joke.
