This school has been going downhill in quality for years. It is folding in on itself much faster than that news report about financial concerns covered last year. The interactions with staff, and between staff have been disappointing to the point that I will also be letting it be known on google reviews. Reviews are to help protect your community, and in this economy-your pockets. The staff are fired or quit in droves. With high turnover like this you cannot possibly expect quality education, food, or before/aftercare services. Look elsewhere if you are going to spend your money on private Christian education. I myself went to school with many former CCA students, after their parents decided it was not worth the trouble. The head admin are intimidating, unhelpful and are indifferent towards staff wellbeing, on top of having poor communication in general. Parents signed petitions to get the Church and school to be separate, due to the funds being misallocated.. supposedly to help the school. It is not evident how this has been implemented at all so far; considering they cut corners everywhere they can. From actual school supplies, to "saving money" in the kitchen, firing at least a handful of staff in the last year or so minimum!! This place is collapsing every corner you look. Pick a different place for your child to learn and grow. I have a feeling it wont be long until the school doors close due to poor management. read more

This WAS a great school but that changed quickly. The head of school that was there for 8 years left due to issues with church staff and finances. That started a flood of information leaking out. It was all over the local news. News reported that staff are leaving along with parents. I'd seriously think twice before enrolling here. read more

OMG this "private school" it's worse than a 1-star public school! No body cares about anything! And they have 20 students in 1 classroom with 1 teacher and what they do is take some kids out of classroom because no every student can get content read more

If you truly want a Jesus centered education than Christ Chapel Academy is the school for your child. I take my son to school daily knowing that he is well cared for and he is being taught standards. He is a happy young man that is thriving amongst his peers, with the support of the staff at CCA. He's been going for 4 years now, started his 6th grade year. CCA is a blessing. read more

I would strongly encourage parents to do thorough research before enrolling their child in this program. Our experience was extremely disappointing. It felt like financial gain was prioritized far above the well-being and best interests of the students. read more

Excellent Head of School/Upper School Principal. Wonderful teachers and staff. My 2 sons attended 9 years and became Christians, were baptized, and love the Lord. read more

We have been a part of the Christ Chapel Academy family in Woodbridge, VA for more than 16 years. Our family and extended family absolutely love CCA. Our daughter attended CCA from Kindergarten to 12th grade and is excelling in college. College is so easy for her due to her academic foundation and the vested interest from her Teachers at CCA. Our son began at CCA from two years old and will continue to attend CCA until he graduates. CCA is a school that provides a strong Christian and academic foundation, many academic and after school clubs, and a variety of sports to keep the students involved. The Administrator, Principals, Teachers, and Staff really love the kids and want to see them win. They are truly invested in their future and for that we are extremely grateful. read more

We had two girls go through Christ Chapel Academy from elementary, middle school and high school graduating with an advance diploma. They were set up for success in college. There were accepted to high level institutions where they are doing extremely well spiritual, socially, and academically. The staff cares for each student and family. They both participated in theater, athletics and leadership positions. Highly recommend. read more

CCA is an amazing place. We have three very different children that each have complex and unique capabilities. CCA has provided a stable, loving, and challenging environment that has allowed each of them to thrive for the past three years. Academics are fantastic - accountability combined with great teaching. Sports and extracurriculars are popular and supported by administration. Students are supportive and engaged, morale is high, and so are expectations (in a good way). Overall, we couldn't be happier. Incredible school. read more

**PARENTS BEWARE** Please ask all the questions you can before paying such high application fees. I recently went on a tour at this school and was looking forward to engaging in the application process. The tour was great! During the tour it was explained to me that spots were limited and I should move quickly in order have a chance at attending. However, my family was in the middle of moving here from California and additional records for each of my children were requested before they were even allowed to take an entrance exam. In a meeting with the Head of School, it was explained that it is competitive to get into this school and 3 teaching references were needed for my elementary aged student. Within a few days I realized this was not what my family was looking for and asked them to consider refunding the $400 I paid for both of my children. I felt that it would have been kind of them to refund even a portion of what I paid because the application was never complete and we didn't engage beyond submitted online. They didn't complete an entrance exam or do any other hard tasks that needed to be compensated for. Christ Chapel was unwilling to provide a refund. The online application does not make references a required field or the additional student records. There was no notification that without these items your application will be considered incomplete. However, they will take your money without telling you all that is needed in order for it to be considered a complete package. The specific application requirements weren't shared in great detail during my tour. As a current school administrator, I understand policies and I also understand unique circumstances and specific situations where exceptions could be made in order to demonstrate kindness, understanding, and grace. My family didn't experience any of that and it is TRULY disappointing. I have had limited interactions with Christ Chapel, but this is cold, heartless, and feels like they are after money and strict policies ONLY. I could never trust them with my children all day. I couldn't place my finger on why my conversations felt so condescending and elitist-however true colors of their administration came out in just a short period. Find another school that will treat your family with warmth, understanding. You can have policies and warmth and grace at the same time. I wonder what they will do with my $400?????? Maybe order lunch? read more

I don't have anything good to say about this school. Perhaps they should change the name from Christ Chapel to Satan Chapel. There is nothing Christian about how the faculty and staff treat parents and students. They come across as being extremely unprofessional and prejudiced with extremely poor communication skills. Sending my child to this school became a nightmare. I wound not recommended. For a so-called Christian school, this is very disappointing. It's like the school has no oversight. Poor management from top to bottom. I could go on and on about the treatment however It won't make any difference. It's one small clique running things and seem as if no outside overhead authority has oversight over the school. The board consists of the same people running the school. read more

Amazing teachers and staff who really cared for my son!! He had a wonderful first year of High School and I am looking forward to my daughter starting middle school school this year! read more

I would not recommend Christ chapel academy. The teaching quality is severely lacking with many teachers not provided the necessary Support or resources for the students to succeed. Discipline is highly inconsistent with some students facing harsh consequences, while others get away with similar behavior. Bullying is a major issue and seems to be ignored by administration. My child came home crying because of bullying. If a child's parent worked for the school.Or church, there's a noticeable favorism, which creates an unfair environment for other students.Overall, it's not a positive place for learning or personal growth. I'd also like to mention that My child had been getting in trouble for the stupidest reasons to the point she might get expelled. Me as a parent already has to pay for the tuition, but they make us pay for other unnecessary needs just for my daughter to get a good grade. This school only cares about money. I will let my child attend Evangel Christian school from now on. read more

I would not recommend this school. I previously had two children enrolled there and could not wait for the school year to be over to get them out. The administration was terrible. The teachers were not engaged and not truthful regarding assignments and grading. read more

Our kids have been going to Christ Chapel for 2 years now! What a great community! Let me start with talking about the kids who go here! I have the privilege to be able to substitute for this amazing school and students. They are a phenomenal group of students! I see such amazing potential in all these kiddos! There is amazing sense of peace in this school! The curriculum has pretty high standards, as it should be for what we are paying. It is strict and not an easy ride. Therefore, the kids are always kept on their toes! Now the staff ;)! As someone who has been able to engage with almost every teacher, administrative assistant, supporting staff, and principals--they are AMAZING! Believe me, I'm such a picky person when it comes to who gets to school or help raise my kids (it takes a village!) They are always praying over all the kids and having such a godly approach to their teaching and sometimes disciplining! They are constantly wanting to improve and update to maintain high standards for the kids! Everyone works together! Everyone gives their all! Whenever a teacher needs a break, someone is always there to step in and help! From Ms. Brenda to Mrs. Burnette, there is constant love and dedication to ALL STUDENTS! So thankful for the work and constant prayers received by CCA! read more

My son just started Christ Chapel pre-k and he is learning so much so quickly , his language skills are much improved as well as his spelling and reading . They take the time to work with him on his areas of need. read more

Wonderful experience so far. I am impressed with the opportunities the school has for graduating high school with an associates degree.

I love this church I go here for Wednesday church and it's really great for the youth to learn more about God. Everyone is very nice here and wonderful teachers read more

DO NOT GO to that school- School year 2015-2016, we are extremely dissatisfied of that school, the principal, teachers tell you what you want to hear but after nothing changed- it is a school of bullying, thefts and non respect ... Be very careful of that school, when this school was unsafe and we had to pull our son out, they required 3 months notice and they will use their fancy lawyers to get your money- This private school is very bad. Do not go there. read more

This school is average at best. The only reason they are rated best private school in the county is due to brazen pushes for families to vote them so in a yearly survey. My son attended Kindergarten through 4th grade and, with the exception of the first year, it was more of a struggle each year. Very laced teachers who never received training for enhancement any year we attended. COVID-19 proved they woefully inept technologically. They've used the pandemic for capitalizing on public schools going virtual and never even polled parents for input. They've stolen two months of advanced tuition from us and eight other families we know of and refuse to return it. The administration waited until the day the second of those withdrawals took place to release their quite inadequate opening plan. The school is tiny and cannot accommodate CDC guidelines. This is not a Christian school. It is a money game. read more

My daughter came to CCA and was struggling academically the first year, but this year it has turned around and she is on the honor roll and has A's and B's all around. We took a hands-on approach to meeting with teachers, and enrolling her in tutoring courses offered by several of the teachers. On leadership - CCA takes this very seriously - with leadership, sports leadership and weekly offerings to students who are ready, willing and able to make the effort to attend, these classes are before school starts (7:45 a.m.). In addition, many of the teachers are retired military and could be making much more money elsewhere, but they are dedicated to raising up the next generation of leaders and that's something I appreciate. Finally - they are are dual-enrollment school with NVCC - which means my student can get both high school and college credit for the same price. Is the school perfect? None are. But I have been impressed with the school's dedication to the whole student body. read more

From January 2015 to June 2017, i loved this school. The preschool director, Miss Sheila, was a phenominal resource. She was always willing to help families with challenging situations and always tired to offer a solution. Unfortunately, after sudden departure, the compassion and Christian values have seem to go out the door with Miss Sheila. It appears they are more interested in money than children. With the exception of some teachers, the staff is indifferent and lacks empathy. To include the administrator, the so called Pastor, who insulted me and spoke ignorantly about my child without actually ever meeting him or me for that matter. So sad. I planned for my children to graduate highschool at Christ Chapel. Now my son will never step foot again in that school. Awful and unChristian environment. They should remember, God does not like ugly. read more

Well went to the open house today, 12/2/2016. At first I was very impressed, the intro presentation gave me info that I wanted as an overview. My husband and I was pleased with the tours of Elementary and Middle school. To be honest I was ready to enroll, we just moved here due to Military, and wanted to get them started in the new semester. That all changed when I went to the office to discuss admissions, offerings for child with slight learning assistane, etc. I had a warm feeling until then. I felt dismissed, rushed, and what was presented during the initial presentation/tour was not the same as I was hearing now. The fellowship of families did not translate when starting to discuss cost, enrollment, and slight special accommodation. Guess we will just have to start looking at other Christian schools. I have it 2 stars due to the initial presentation and the individuals who did the tours of Elementary and Middle School. If I was to give this review strictly on the front office it would be a 1, only cause I could not go lower. read more
