Nashville Christian School

I went to Nashville christian from 5-12 grade which I regret when it came time for me to graduate I had little to no help applying for colleges and felt unprepared for the next step. The bible teachers force their church of Christ beliefs down your throat and if you disagree with them they will not listen to your input. Now I have a son who I just pulled from the daycare because the curriculum was unsatisfactory and they wanted to put him in a class of children 7-9 months younger than him which I believe would severely effect his development. They say they care about the kids but more than anything it's what they believe is right and you are wrong.

At every school and in every class there will be some children that do not learn the information taught as well as others. To say that a child regressed or didn't have the necessary skills is a statement about one child---not the entire group. Many children need additional help. The job of the teachers is to identify this need and and help the school/parents/child to find a solution. How a parent deals with this is the key. Many throw around blame because that is the easiest way to go. If you ask for help at Nashville Christian, you will get it. They are known for going above and beyond with children to make them not only feel better about themselves, but to insure that their academic future will be brighter.

I am a Junior at NCS, and I have had my ups and downs with them. For one this school is very cliquey. To me it seems like the teachers don't even care. I was harassed all throughout my freshman year and even went to someone about it. Nothing happened. I thought this school was somewhere I could feel safe at. I don't feel safe at all.

Our child attended Day Care thru Elementary School. Day Care was great and first few years at NCS were great. However, we began to have concerns with our child's academic skills. This was confirmed when our child entered Public School.

Our child has been at NCS for the last three years, and I can't begin to tell you what a disappointment it has been. There has been very little organization in the classroom lessons, and usually looks more like 'busy' work. Our child actually regressed during the first year there and was unable to perform certain academic tasks that were previously mastered at first school. We have tried to transfer out to other (private) schools in the area, but have been unsuccessful. The reason is being that our child is unable to meet the minimum academic standards of the grade at the other school. I think that is a telling statement, don't you? Some parents here, primarily those who start their kids from Kindergarten, think it is great. Other parents, who have had their kids in other schools, know better.

Education tied with God...nothing like it!

At this school, ' bully ' behavior is not dealt with well. This begins in 2nd Grade. If you have home schooled your children you will fit in well with this school. If both parents, work you will find the school difficult. Before and After care is challenging. Limited class options in high school.

We love NCS! We have 2 children who attend and are thriving. The love of Jesus is echoed through the halls and classrooms daily.They offer cheerleading, drama, music, band, Spanish, cross country team and so much more.

We have a daughter and son at Nashville Christian. I concur with one of the other reviews in that they have bent over backwards for us. In our case, they helped us by creating an individual education plan for our son because he is gifted and was able to actually move up in some courses. It is a relatively small school, but is still able to offer extra-curricular activities for just about everyone.

This school has bent over backwards for us in helping us with our oldest son, who has severe ADHD and emotional social issues. The LIFE (Learning is For Everyone) program is top-notch and I highly recommend it if you have a child who needs a little extra help. My children have participated in Cross-Country, and playing with basketball teams. Music, art & Spanish are taught as well. It's comforting to have your child in a Christian environment where you know the parents of other kids there have the same values that you do. The teachers are wonderful and communication is open. Dropping in unannounced to check on things is welcomed. They have nothing to hide, which is what I have found with the public school system. NCS is more than just a school. It's also your family. It truly takes a village to raise your child.
