Gave me false information about financials that cost me significant amounts of money. Out of all…read morethe many frustrations Bradley gave me, nothing was worse than finding out I needed multiple extra thousands of dollars I did not have because the financial office told me I was receiving aid I was not. I consistently had technical issues registering for classes that required multiple meetings with different advisors to resolve. Many classes were offered with only one section and overlapping with times of other classes in my major. Combined with Bradley cancelling classes to save themselves some money it made it difficult to take full time hours unless I was one of the first 20 people to register for a class. Frequently a random fee from something would cause a registration hold, making it far too late to register for these classes even without the technical issues every time. I also consistently had issues receiving credit for classes I completed on my transcript, which caused further technical issues registering for classes and took multiple years of requesting different advisors to fix. Bradley failed to ever actually assign me an advisor after I changed my major at my first semester at the college which was another issue I had to resolve. The video game design program has many nice professors trying their best, but there are a lot of instances in which I felt the program was still being tested and figured out (e.g. board game design class being labeled as writing intensive and just having us write in journals, which was ultimately positive in that I didn't have to take an extra writing intensive class but still odd, or a "Practicum" class in which everyone gets to spend time and money listening to very basic business advice about networking being good and being open to possibilities in your career). I wish I had gone to any other college.

Too many restrictions were applied making it hard to progress toward a reasonable goal. There are plenty of resources available.

All three of my kids attend Peoria Academy and we love this school! The small size means it's very…read morefriendly and all the kids know each other's name. It's like a big family - a great community to be a part of. Coming to Peoria from the UK, we wanted a secular option for our children that embraces all religions, and the cultural diversity - much like an International School - was what first attracted us to PA. The curriculum is varied, challenging, and hands-on. Really engaging for the children, not just geared towards passing tests. I believe the kids really benefit from the experimental learning and all the extras PA has to offer above and beyond the public schools - such as the Outdoor Education Center, (a working garden / outdoor classroom), huge indoor gym, and all the diverse extra curricular activities. My kids have enjoyed trying out (among other things) Tae Kwon Do, Robotics club, lego club, Ballet, Yoga, Gymnastics, STEAM art, Scholastic Bowl, Fencing, Cub Scouts, piano, guitar, ukulele, cheerleading, mathletics, Speech, debate, cookery, and pottery (the school even has its own kiln!) Multicultural Night is a highlight of the year, along with Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, Family Picnic /Movie Night, and the Annual Gala. PA is a special place. I highly recommend coming for a tour.

Kaitlyn and Serena decided that instead of helping the child or figuring out the problem they would record the baby and laugh while mocking her. This video was posted to Kaitlyn's Snapchat where she tagged Serena making a joke of the child. Other children can also be heard crying in the background, none of which were tended to. These women need to be fired and not allowed to work with anyone's children! This video has gone viral on social media and it is very disheartening and disturbing! I hope something will be done about this.

While it has a solid academic reputation for what's "core", we love that art, music, PE, and Spanish are a part of every child's week. It also has programs to help struggling and high-achieving students, and has character education throughout its curriculum and across every grade. St. Thomas is unquestionably a Catholic school, but in a welcoming, inclusive way. St. Thomas is able to make its non-Catholic families feel they are equal parts of the community and it binds Catholic and non-Catholics together through a focus on service. St. Thomas also offers extracurriculars like First Robotics, Odyssey of the Mind, drama, band, choir, a chess club, and the full range of available sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, cross country, track, and - next year - golf). Take a tour or have your child spend the day - you'll see what I mean!

My daughter has been signing with Communication Junction since she was 14 months old. She is now 2 and the amount of communication development I have seen in the past year has blown me away! It is such a blessing to be able to communicate with my child and understand what she wants. The classes have taught her so many words including manners, family members, animals, colors, seasons, transportation, and more. I truly believe Communication Junction is teaching my daughter pre-literacy skills and language development that will set her up for success in school the rest of her life. Could not give a higher recommendation for Abbey Cook of Communication Junction!
