Our son did not do well with online learning during the Covid shut down and we were concerned that he would not be able to pull up his GPA.

Small class sizes give the teachers the opportunity to interact and get to know each kids strengths and weaknesses. My son is now flourishing. He is on track with straight A's.

This is a long and detailed review however please take the time to read it before enrolling your…read morechild in this school. This is also the very first review I have ever written on an online forum in my more than 40-year life, so please know this situation was a very impactful one to my son and our family as a whole. Our journey with Alpharetta International Academy (AIA) was mixed. My son attended for two and a half years, and the first two years were positive. The staff seemed attentive, and my son thrived in a supportive environment. During the third year, things changed. Because he was not fully potty-trained, AIA didn't promote him to the 3-year-old class, even though developmentally and academically he was capable of tasks well-suited to a preschool environment. Instead, he was placed in a class with toddlers as young as 18 months, which seemed overcrowded, leaving his teacher (what was perceived to be) overwhelmed. Her teaching style changed, as did her overall demeanor and patience level. As a result, our son became bored and unchallenged, which impacted his behavior. We began receiving calls to pick him up due to what we believe stemmed from the teacher's frustration. These calls came on two separate occasions, one for the teacher's inability to redirect him during circle time and once when he picked up a Montessori-sized chair and when he put it down, it came down on the teacher's foot. Mind you, these two times were the only time in now almost three years that we were called for these things or that there was any type of misbehavior communicated to us on behalf of the school. Both times we picked him up, we were assured by the head of school that his teacher would follow up with us about his behavior, but this never happened. We twice asked the teacher to move him into a developmentally appropriate class. Just two weeks prior to his withdrawal I urged her to move him into the developmentally appropriate class temporarily as a "trial". All of these suggestions and requests were refused. It was disappointing for the teacher to be so unresponsive to our requests to address this clear mismatch in placement. This was the same teacher who had worked wonderfully with him for two years and who had previously shown genuine care and understanding, so we were left confused as to her actions, or lack thereof. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with children, as well as the daughter of two Doctorate Level public school teachers, I understand that children are at their best when they're engaged in age-appropriate, stimulating settings. It was disheartening to see that the AIA staff now seemed unable to understand the impact a poorly suited classroom environment could have on our son's behavior and learning. To add to our distress and disappointment, the head of school sent a disingenuous response to my email with my intent to withdraw my son from her school due to a lack of a suitable and appropriate classroom environment. She did express regret at our decision, saying she loved our son and was committed to working with him. Her email response was a conflicting message, combining both overly kind and positive statements with underlying hurtful remarks. She informed us that we would still be responsible for paying a sizable early withdrawal fee, totaling thousands of dollars. Although we were aware of this fee in the enrollment agreement, my husband responded to explain that, given the circumstances leading to the change, we felt it was unfair to be held financially responsible for their choices and when we were already having to spent thousands to place him in a different learning environment. He also mentioned we would be leaving an honest review of our experience to better inform other families considering AIA. In response, the head of school reiterated the fee due and informed that we should "please understand that any communication perceived as a threat has been formally documented and will be addressed through the proper channels if necessary". This statement was unnecessary and upsetting to us, as we were simply expressing our intent to share our experience honestly. Ultimately, while we value the initial positive experience our son had at AIA, the handling of this final chapter left us with reservations regarding AIA's ability to make decisions that are best for the children they serve and questions regarding their authenticity in their mission statement. I hope this review helps AIA consider ways to better support students' needs and communicate open and in real time with parents. Lastly, I hope this review enables other parents considering AIA to make the most informed decision that leads to the most positive outcome for their child and family as a whole.

When my husband and I began the search for a private school for our oldest who was going into…read moreKinder, we preferred a school that was Catholic and taught our faith and morals. We came across Pinecrest Academy. The minute we drove onto the campus for our tour I knew "this is it"! There was such a sense of peace within all the beauty that the campus has. We met with Mrs. Margaret Frain. She was so lovely, and you could truly feel her love for the school through her tour and presentation. Well, the rest is history. We have been here for 3 years (going on an upcoming 4) and also have our youngest starting this year. Pinecrest has been an absolute blessing. The teachers and faculty are wonderful, the staff is caring, you become a part of the Pinecrest community the minute you begin. I could not have asked for a better experience for my children and for our family.

I have one daughter that graduated from Fideles; she was accepted into every college she applied to and she commented that Fideles prepared for her for college. I have another daughter that has been there for 4 years and will be a senior next year. She loves the balance of 3 days at school and 2 days at home. She can participate in activities like drama, chorus, Beta Club, and prom, but still have 2 days at home to complete work. She's made great friends there and loves her school! It's more similar to a college schedule. Kids have to learn to how to manage their time and focus on academics, but they also have time for other activities as well. The teachers and staff at Fideles are fantastic and they truly care about the kids. My youngest daughter has fallen in love with Science, primarily because of her science teachers. We would recommend Fideles to anyone looking to partner with a great school, to have a great school experience.

The admissions department helped us to get everything in place quickly and very patiently answered all of our questions. The guidance counselor met with us the first morning and got us squared away easily. Everyone has been so friendly and willing to answer questions and explain how it all works. (I ask a lot of questions!) My daughter absolutely loves her teachers and has made a lot of friends. She is dyslexic and STF was able to personalize her course levels to match where she is in different subjects. She's not only excelling in her classes but, for the first time ever, is excited to go to school. Yes there are uniforms, but she's used to that so that wasn't a problem. All in all....I truly wish I could give St. Francis 6 stars!
