My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour…read more As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter. Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and "extra time," which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could "bring our own interpreter," which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards. We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate. I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.

I was already grief stricken and frustrated that I was late and lost. But to not have signage or even one caretaker there added to it. By the time I finally figured out it was in an auditorium, the memorial was ending. The seating arrangement was full so I signed the guest book and waited in the hall for everyone to exit. There were only two people I wanted to see the most there. The restroom was in the foyer of that building so that was a relief considering I drove two hours straight to get there. The set up of my friends photos and flowers were beautiful. Blue/teal were the colors for Ovarian cancer awareness. I appreciate the staff for letting them set up there for her.

Coming from an unbiased student's opinion, please save yourself the hassle of going through this…read moreschool. At my last school, which I had gone to for three years, I had only one problem the whole time I was there. At PCCA, which I have been going to for not even a year, I've had over five personal ones, and counting. Both general and personal problems include poor teaching curriculums, poor classroom and time organization, little to no arts, nor sports, very few clubs if any, messed up schedules, horrible staff communication, greediness, problems with non-Christian students, and trust me, this list goes on. This whole school honestly feels fake, both spiritually and academically. I am a student that has been in advanced classes for multiple years, passing all of them, and suddenly I feel like I'm being pulled back with poor teaching and environment. The money problems are also super clear. Only two toilets out of 8-10 in the whole North building flush correctly, easy fix to just call someone in. No, let's spend money on TVs and kiosks for digital passes. The staff are also super unprofessional and organized. My dad sent two emails to the headmaster, never got a response, multiple dates and times for events have been moved/messed up, the principal for secondary looks at people crazy when she has to actually do her job instead of just sitting around gossiping all day, my schedule was messed up for almost a month, and updates are almost never communicated properly or are last minute. It's not even just me who has had problems with this school in my family, I had a cousin whose mom pulled him out because he would come home crying every day from bullying, I have another cousin whose mom is constantly complaining about organization, and have another cousin who left the school due to complaints about the teaching. Doing research about this school, it once actually was decent, which is where all the "top school" reviews come from. The arts program had actual theater, there was a wider range of electives, classes like Spanish actually had a classroom with a teacher, and there was a variety of organized sports to play in. This school has clearly fell off, and it might be time to consider if keeping it open is a good idea.

If I could give zero stars, I would. My son has been enrolled in this Christian Academy's summer…read morecamp program for about a month, and in that short time, he has been injured multiple times--physically hit, kicked, and even thrown into a wall, leaving a huge lump on the back of his head. Most disturbing of all? Not once did the camp staff notify me or his father about any of these incidents. I only found out because my six-year-old son had to call me, crying, from his cellphone to tell me what happened. I've brought these concerns to the staff on multiple occasions, both in person and via email. Despite my efforts, nothing has changed. I asked for better supervision--yet every week, he continues to come home having been hit by older, bigger children. Their response? Not to improve oversight or accountability, but to ban electronics--the very thing that allowed my son to reach out to me when the staff failed to. On top of all that, the lack of communication is beyond frustrating. While the camp posts a weekly schedule, they frequently change field trips last-minute--sometimes due to weather, which is understandable--but they often don't inform parents at all. There have been multiple times I've sent my son dressed for one thing (like a movie), only for him to be taken to a water park with no towel, no change of clothes, and completely unprepared, all because no one communicated the update. The disorganization, carelessness, and lack of transparency at this camp is unacceptable. You are paying for safety, structure, and communication--and you are getting none of that. My son was left unprotected, unheard, and unseen, and I've lost all trust in the staff responsible for his care. Parents, please think twice before enrolling your child here. This is not the environment they market it to be.

Most American churches that are catholic use more commercialized English songs. Meanwhile, the choir relates a lot more to Europe, which I absolutely loved. It sounded amazing. Overall
