I could not be happier with this school. They are helpful, caring and friendly. The others that complain about the school have not been to other schools. It doesn't matter what school your child goes to a down payment will be due. That is not a bad school that is called a job. They teachers have been so helpful our children's learning. I am very happy with the program that North Texas Christian Academy has. We will be coming back in the fall.
This is our first year in the elementary school, and we have been very impressed. The academic programs are excellent, and the class has a warm, loving environment. The communication from the school office and the individual teachers is amazing. We get emails often with updates and important information.
I have been very impressed with the quality of leadership and teaching as North Texas Christian Academy. I am very happy with the class sizes, personalized attention that my son is receiving and the curriculum. My son has advance so much in such a short amount of time it is truely amazing. Thank you for NTCA for the awsome education my son is receiving and for the values and morals that are being instilled in his character.
We love this school!! We love the Teachers & the Administration!! Our daughter loves going to school each & everyday! She has been attending North Texas Christian Academy for 5 years for Pre-School & Elementary and year after year we are more and more pleased!! NTCA is fully accredited by the National Christian School Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. As a parent, I feel connected with each of my daughter's teachers and feel that they not only teach her to be an excellent student but also show her God's love in her life. I am surprised by the other comments!! NEVER have we felt lied to or uninvolved. I pray that you will give your child the opportunity to be loved & shown God's love.
Very Unsatisfied! I have not experienced the love and nurturing spoken of by the other parents. In contrast, I have seen a very rude staff, unfeeling head master and a strict, domatic agenda. The only real contact has been to discuss costs, and getting those paid ahead of time. Even to the point of owing a $1 and being repeatedly called about it. If you give a deposit you won't have any chance of getting it back. I think the teachers are ver good academically speaking, and my complaints with the school are the lack of Christ's love I see shown. I see dogmatic bible curriculum, but little of Jesus love and compassion shown toward the kids or parents. It appears to be very "exclusive" and hard to break into the inner circle. If you go to the church, you should be fine, otherwise I would suggest another school.
I cannot agree more with some of the other unsatisfactory reviews. My family and I had some of the same problems when our son went to preschool there for less than two weeks. Number one you have to pay your deposit and for the first month before your child can start the first day. Don't expect to get your money back if the school is not a right fit for your child. I also agree that they emphasize structure too much for preschoolers, and they did not offer ANY opportunities for the children to participate in creative play or liberal arts. All of which new research shows, produces little ones with a lifetime appreciation of learning and school. I was also not pleased with how unfriendly the staff were every time that I sent my child to school. I could go on, but needless to say NOT happy!!!!
The director and staff have no clue how to relate to small children! Were met each morning with sour faces and barely spoken to. There is much said about structure but little said about nurturing, this should have been our first clue. The class room does not cater to a childs imagination nor does it understand that children learn best while having fun. Stucture and repitition work well for producing little robots but does little to crate a life long love of learning. The staff is unfriendly and at times rude. This is not an environment I want my grand child to be a part of. He has a new school now that he loves and is learning through creative play and self problem solving. Most of all he is met each day with smiles and hugs and made to feel secure and welcomed!
My husband and I were lied to by this school over and over again, we were told just what we wanted to hear. We decided to not enroll our child, but make sure you are sure before you give them any money, because you won't get it back!
North Texas Christian strives to show love and Christian values in all areas of the school. The school has a committment to provide the highest academic standards in a Christ-like environment. The teachers are highly qualified educators and wonderful Christians who love what they do each day. If you are looking for a nurturing, highly academic environment for your child's education, then NTCA is the place for you.
Greatest school ever!!!! I came here in 08 and I loved!
