RLCA is one of the best and reasonably priced private schools in the state of Florida. The teachers have an amazing commitment to the students and to the Lord. Both of my children love attending the school and don't miss public school setting one bit. Dr. Long, the headmaster, is a witty, intelligent and funny person and really wants what is best for his students. If you are even just thinking about RLCA for your kids, I would highly suggest it.

My 7-year-old daughter attended Real Life "Christian" Academy for two years. During that time, she…read morewas a respectful student with good grades and no disciplinary issues. She was kicked out innocently due to this below. The conflict began after I preached the Gospel outside the entrance of Gatorland before a school field trip. I recorded a video and posted it on social media. According to the school, students from another school may have appeared in the background. Dean Dawn contacted me and demanded that I remove the video from my social media accounts. I declined, believing I was exercising my constitutional freedoms of speech and religion. An elder from the school later became involved and also requested a meeting regarding the video, which I declined. The family then spent months trying to preserve my daughter's enrollment. Eventually, I removed the video in an effort to resolve the matter. However, I was then presented with restrictions that I felt were unreasonable. I was told I would only be permitted on campus for drop-off and pick-up, and that attendance at events, ceremonies, and other public parent activities involving my daughter would require prior authorization. I informed the school that I would not attend field trips, would not preach, film, or pray for students on campus, and would respect those boundaries. During a meeting, I was also told that one concern was that I had prayed for students on campus. As a parent at a Christian school, I found that surprising. This experience left me questioning what biblical principles the school follows. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." As a Christian, I take that command seriously. Another disappointment came during my daughter's elementary ceremony, where students performed songs from The Greatest Showman. Not one song was Christian, and not one song was focused on God. For a school that identifies itself as Christian, I expected faith to be more evident in its activities and culture. Based on my family's experience, I cannot recommend this school to families seeking a Christ-centered education. We found the environment to be far more aligned with worldly values than with the biblical convictions we expected from a Christian institution. I wouldn't even say they are lukewarm. I would say they are worldly. You might as well send your children to public school--it's practically the same thing. Just add a few Bible classes, and now they can call themselves "Christian" while charging outrageous amounts of money. One more thing: they changed the school uniforms three times and did not reimburse families for the unused uniforms they had already purchased. They also required families to purchase a specific black jacket from a company that embroidered the Real Life logo on it. The company went out of business, and many families never received their jackets, including myself. Yet families still had to pay $65 and were never reimbursed, nor did their children receive the jackets they paid for. And since they unjustly removed my daughter from the school, I requested a refund of the registration fee I had already paid for next year. Can you believe they emailed me back saying they needed to send the request to leadership? Are you kidding me?

Attended my nephews music concert a few weeks ago on a Friday evening…read more The school administrators never informed the parents & concert-goers ahead of time, that a mandatory entrance fee was being imposed, such as $5 for adults & $2 for children. As far as I knew it was normally a donation based fee. To do such underhanded act is disgusting of a school administration. To top it off, they also charged for beverages, candy & popcorn; why? You already charged a mandatory fee to all visitors, therefore why do such a sneaky underhanded act? It is in the school administrations best interest to inform all parents ahead of time, when any future concerts are held of any fees imposed. I overheard many people complain because some did not have cash handy. If you want parents & families to pay, have a credit/debit card machine to also facilitate those who do not carry cash. I've never seen such tackiness of any school administration & I've visited several in different states.

Review for South Lake Montessori School…read more Our family has had the privilege of being part of South Lake Montessori School for over 25 years, with multiple children attending throughout that time. Each one of them has not only thrived during their years at SLMS, but has continued to grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals -- a testament to the strong foundation they received here. The care, dedication, and consistency of the educators over the years is extraordinary. The Montessori approach at SLMS fosters independence, curiosity, and respect -- values that our children have carried with them well beyond the classroom. From early childhood through their transition to elementary and beyond, our children were always supported, challenged, and truly seen as individuals. We are deeply grateful for the role South Lake Montessori has played in shaping the lives of our kids and for being such a steady, nurturing presence in our family's life across generations. SLMS is more than a school -- it's a community that helps raise thoughtful, lifelong learners.

South Lake Montessori School has been life changing for my child. He started school here at age 4,…read moreand knew basic academics for his age (shapes, colors, the alphabet and counting to 20). Fast forward to just one year at SLMS in the primary classroom, and my son can write in cursive at a beginner level. He is also reading beginner level books on his own at the age of 5. Beyond that, the focus on practical life has made a huge difference beyond the classroom. My child enjoys cleaning, cooking, helping take care of his younger sibling. These are all things he does daily at SLMS. The director of the school, Mrs. Sheldon along with the primary teachers, Mr. Gonzalez and Ms. Dass have been absolutely amazing. They provide an authentic Montessori education, and they are always willing to take the time to speak with you and offer advice. They are patient, kind, and extremely nurturing. This school has become like a family to us.
