I am a Piedmont parent, and my son is going into the fourth grade this year. I absolutely LOVE this school! The dedication of the teachers is unbelieveable! If you are looking for a school where the teacher really knows and wants the best for your child, Piedmont is that school! And that same commitment is contiued in the adminstration! This school is excelling in academics, and your child will be ready to attend college! PLEASE be in prayer for your attendance at Piedmont. They would encourage you as well to be in prayer! May God bless you!
we thought after 4 years at Piedmont we had found the perfect school, sadly the last year proved us so wrong. We suffered with constant substitue teachers week after week. The children we had enrolled at Piedmont were not exceling, and when they were tested for a new school we were sadly informed that they were behind. We had several issues that involved the principle and when addressed the principle became very defense and it became a one sided issue. Pray hard before enrolling.
This is my second year at pcs. The elementary is great. I'm a freshman this year and I've realized that there's a serious lack in extracurricular activities. As for the sports, I played soccer,co-ed, and volleyball,only girls. Basketball is also offered. The sports aren't as great as public schools but they're still fun. The teachers are really interactive with the students and they care alot. The curriculum is pretty easy if you're a fast learner, some students struggle with it. It gives a good Christian education which is needed these days. Most of the kids are pretty nice, some have a very unique personality. Its kind of like a brother-sister environment which can really get frustrating. If you like honor classes, this school probably isn't for you because everyone has to learn at the same pace so sometimes students are held back. Go tour it before you decide, and pray.
I would like to write from a student's perspective. Piedmont is my school and I love it. The teachers are the best and the principal works harder than anyone I know. The teachers and principal love the students unconditionally. In response to the person who wrote the negative comment, if you don't like the few video courses that is ok. But please don't say negative things about God's school and cause someone who needs to be there to not come. That would be sad for someone to not know Jesus because you don't like Piedmont. I am a Christian and have self confidence because of Piedmont. I am reaching my goals and getting a great education in a Christian atmosphere. That's all I could ever ask for.
I really thought we found the perfect school, but was sadly disappointed. The older kids are being taught on video for most subjects. Some of the teachers are very closed minded and sometimes actually mean to the kids. Lots of family and close friends tied to the school so some partiality happening, this is w/ the older and the younger. Please ask lots of questions make sure you're on board w/ what they believe because it will be taught even if they say it won't. Pray before you commit!
I am very thankful that we found Piedmont for our child. This school is a Godsend for us. Upon graduation my child will be ready for college - spiritually and acidemically. The teachers and principle are great-very kind and caring, and professional. The teachers are always willing to give extra help if it is needed. Being a part of this family has been a blessing for my child and for us.
We had a great first year with K5. I wanted a more spiritual experience for my children and was uncomfortable with the exposure they were getting to strong religious undertones. This school was just not for us.
My daughter attends K4 here. I have never been more sure of anything in my life. She is meant to be here. It is a loving environment, this is the first time she has been away from me and she had no withdrawls. She is 4 and has begun reading. We are amazed and thrilled. We highly recommend this school. A great place that still says grace before each meal. Highly recommended school.
This year was my sons first year at Piedmont he is currently in the K4 class. I must say everyday I find out something new and wonderful that he has learned at school that day. He has truly come a long way this year. He will be attending Piedmont as long as we live in the area. It is very affordable and worth every penny. I wouldn't dream of sending my child anywhere else. It is a very loving environment that the teachers and parents work together to maintain. Piedmont also has extended care after school which is nice since both my husband and I work. A Christian education + Love + Caring Teachers and Parents = Wonderful happy children.
The Christ-centered curriculum is the primary reason to send your children to this school. Simply, the school motto states it all - 'Educating Children for Eternity.' Tuition is low. The academic standards are very high. The elementary school offers the highly-acclaimed and widely-used A BEKA curriculum. The elementary school students attend gym, art and music classes in addition to weekly visits to the library and computer lab. There are sports teams (basketball, soccer, and volleyball) which compete locally with other private schools. There is a weekly chapel service involving the entire student body K4-12 with student performances and weekly speakers. All parents are openly encouraged to volunteer and attend all activities. Unfortunately, the 9-12 grades are lacking knowledgeable teachers of upper levels in math, science and foreign language. Therefore, knowledgeable instructors are on videotape with tape-handlers in class. The principal can be abrasive on occasion. Overall recommendation: excellent elementary and middle.
