I had two children through the school, starting at 2 1/2 years old and my oldest leaving after 1st grade, and I'm so impressed.

Christopher Academy staff and teachers proved themselves knowledgeable and very supportive throughout my children's time at the school and they made life-long friendships as did my husband and I.

This was…read moreback in the early 2000s, but my parents still say it was the best choice they ever made to this day. We, along with many other alumni, went to a Suffolk private school that was a common filter school for Christopher Academy kids to go to after the 4th grade cut off -- The fact that every single one of us among my sister and I's age groups (We are 5 years apart in age, so about 20+ kids) graduated with straight A's in the top of our classes is not a coincidence. Even now, I still see that many of the recent valedictorians of our Suffolk private high school are Christopher Academy alumni (our high school sends us the graduation mailer every year). Long story short- the curriculum, class size, and amazing teachers here laid a foundation for us all that put us ahead of our peers at our Suffolk private school, college & beyond. My parents STILL donate to this school 18 years later & do not donate a nickel to the previously mentioned school that we went to for middle/high school. We are in the process of helping multiple friends make the change to send their young children here based on our experiences. Thank you CA for shaping so many of us into successful students and leaders.

My 2.5 year old son has been going to Compass Schoolhouse since he was 12 months old. He loves school. He started in the infant room for 2 mornings a week. This year is in the 2's class. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Every time I drop my son off, the head teacher greets him and he dances into class. The staff are nurturing and some of the caregivers/teachers have told me that they sent their kids to Compass originally. Parents are kept informed with weekly emails reviewing what the kids did that week. I just can't say enough. It's wonderful to be able to count on Compass for a safe and stimulating atmosphere where my son plays and learns at an age appropriate level. Next year, both of my kids are attending and I couldn't feel better about it.

So rude! I don't feel comfortable having rude and unfriendly staff in the care of my son! If that's how they act to a prospective parent, how are they treating the kids?!

We're were only there a few weeks and couldn't take it as we were being told something that didn't match up with the daily reports. My kid was also constantly sick the first year which is most likely common. We left the day care since we felt as if we couldn't trust the new care takers. We tried telling them to change and apply diaper cream regularly but they couldn't provide basic care. They also lost some of my sons belonging. Pan the director told us we would get reimbursed and then never did. Not a pleasant experience after the infant room and management didn't bother to ask why we left which shows their care and character.

The beginner adult class is great to get comfortable with the machine, winding a bobbin, and learning simple stitches all while creating your first product (a small drawstring pouch!).

Urban Sewciety also has a small shop on the first level with beautifully curated fabrics and different projects that you can also take home to try. They also run different events (and sales) from time to time, so be on the lookout!

The staff at CHS is horrendous I went for only a year, got put in there disciplinary school with lies of me coming back full time. The head of the child study team told me I would come back for two more classes every marking period and then decides out of no where to have a break from chs and be full time at the disciplinary school before coming back FOR ONLY ONE CLASS each time (lets just say they wanted me to screw up). I had to finish highschool at Saint patricks to get an actual diploma and finish full time under a primary school program. The faculty at the disciplinary school was more then helpful in setting my head on straight though, really good people there. The highschool staff does not have your child's best interest in mind and focus on what will make their school look better instead. They never let me take electives pertaining to graphic design which I now have to take in college, because they told me thats not what I needed even though it's my major now.... lmao yup this place sucks, if you're child is not a stereo typical suburban type and shows any form of individuality they will give your kid a hard time.

Prior to the pandemic, my oldest daughter had attended the school, so I am able to compare. My first daughter's pre-pandemic experience there was good, however my second daughter's experience was terrible. It started with a few months after enrolling her there I found out for two months they had been serving her the frozen lunch I was sending her to school with. They were no longer heating up lunches in the microwave like my first daughter. I found out from my second daughter telling me why she didn't eat her lunch "it was too cold." For two months they had been giving her frozen chicken nuggets and it was my fault (after confronting them) because we did not see the message that lunches were no longer being heated. Next, when I would pick up my daughter the teacher, or helper was coming out and saying she had a bad day today. I was clueless until after a few weeks of this she refused to go back (and I mean refused). She had lost all confidence to go anywhere or see any strangers. It was terrible. We took her to see help and we were told that she had gone through a regression, like a three-year-old going back to a one and a half year old. Confronted the school and they said it was her fault, she doesn't listen and goes around the classroom. That sounded like all three year old to us. We asked the school for her teacher to meet us and show affection to her, but she was cold to her. We felt so bad for her we took her out of the school. It took us months to bring her confidence and self esteem back. When I grew up a three year old was accepted unconditionally and supported to stand on their own. Not so at this place.
