Chesterbrook Academy

I think the shcool (the one in Sterling) has a very strong curriculum and it has helped my daughter of 5 y/0 grow tremendously. They give lots of homework and a test every Friday but it has worked wonders! My daughter loves this shcool so much. She reads and writes much better than before, and can solve farious mathematical questions without problems. Teh teachers are great and very helpful. They are strict too but it's needed for Kidnergarten, of course, to teach discipline.

We have been attending for now 2 years and will be reenrolling next year. We are truely happy here and couldn't imagine any better school than this one. Ms. Soto is winderful principal who cares for everyone there. The teachers are very friendly and are willing to work one on one with the kids. I love that they are open early and late since I have a busy worl schedule. My child is above grade level and enjoys every minute of school. We attend all school fundraisers. They are very fun to attend and helps you get to to know others there. This is a school your child needs to go to.

I LOVE this school. My children have been going there for 6 years and have been very happy there. The Principal is the best. She takes time to know each student and their families. The teachers are caring and provide individual attention when needed. I love the low ratios.The entire school goes above and beyond with their students and families.This is a great school. Worth every penny.

My son has been going to the Preschool for 2 years. It is AMAZING how much he has learned. I love the teachers and the Principal(who recently left to go to another Chesterbrook). My son will be transferring over to the Elementary school in September.

Used to be very good, not anymore, after new principle came and changed everything. Large staff turnover. Don't trust the administration. The infant room is small and no place to play or crawl around. They just line up babies on the floor to sleep. Too bad, used to be a great place, but morale is bad. Not going here anymore.

Clearly staff are trying to improve the reputation of this school in these reviews. The school is very weak academically and bad teachers thrive here. Before you choose this school ask careful questions about how many families leave during the year. How many familes return to this school? You are not likely to get honest answers. Be careful in choosing this place. Kids can get away with anything here. The ones who been at this school forever are the worst.

I have read about issues at the Cascades CBA, but not the Sterling location. My one year old daughter has been attending CBA in Sterling for a few months now and I couldn't be happier with the staff and facility. Her teacher has a college degree and has been with CBA Sterling for several years. I visit my child everyday on my lunchbreak and I have never seen anything negative there. Her teacher is an angel and works with me to make sure my daughter's needs are met. Everytime I go there, my child has been fed, diapered, happy, and very well cared for. All of the staff greet me when I come in and are very kind. CBA Sterling is a wonderful facility and works very hard to keep the children and staff happy. The CBA principal and assistant principal have both worked with me to address my daughter's stranger anxiety issue. Everyone who interacts with my child there is always providing me with feedback on how she is doing with the other children in addition to her physical, emotional, and intellectual development. At the time of this writing, the school is very full in the infant, toddler and young child classes. They wouldn't be at such a full capacity if they weren't the BEST!!!

Principal and teachers Not qualified at all. This school is really bad in all aspects. Unprofessional teachers and principal. They only care about money. I had my son there this year. I am not thinking at all about taking him back there. Kids are allowed to do whatever they want. The teachers are not qualified. And even the principal. When I tried to raise the issue that my son hasn't been learing much all the year. She didn't care at all. Please do not take your kids there.

The teachers lack professionalism and are inconsistent. Teachers are often unaware of bullying/intimidation that takes place in their classrooms.

They are worth the money with good education my kids are ready for public and highschool.

I have three children going to Chesterbook Academy, one in 1st, one in 4th and one in 6th. I found all the teachers very motivated and dedicated. One thing that lack here are the extracurricular activites. I wish they had sport teams where they compete against other schools especially for the middle school. I have to say that I found that this school is always looking for new ways to enhance their programs. They are on the accelerated academic program. This is a great school and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation!

Chesterbrook Academy Elementary and Middle School has given my son an excellent pre-high school experience. The students follow a strong curriculum, taught by teachers who make and take the time to motivate each student to be successful. The principal is extremely approachable, warm, and dedicaed to her studens and the school. If you are looking for a community atmosphere with strong academics, this is the school for you!
