I am raising my niece and nephew and someone at my church had recommended Summit Christian School…read moreand I am so glad that she did. The children are thriving; they are learning while being well cared for and I really have piece of mind when I drop them off for the day. Along with being academically and spiritually minded, SCS also has a diverse student body. The teachers and staff are top notch and care not only that the children are learning, but also of their overall well-being. I cant imagine sending them anywhere else.

From the owner: Located in Cuyahoga Falls, Summit Christian School provides educational programs to students in…read morekindergarten through grade eight.

Words cannot describe how much I have loved this school. My daughter has attended for three years,…read moreand she has thrived. I only wish we could stay there forever. When I first walked in the building, I was blown away by how peaceful it is. You'll find children ages 2 and up quietly concentrating on work they have chosen and are excited to learn. The teachers are nurturing, calm, and really care about the kids. The children are kind to each other and learn responsibility. My daughter is reading already, and she knows more about animals and geography and the solar system than I do! I can not recommend this school highly enough. They do classes in Spanish, music, art, and movement. It's amazing!

I attended an open house at Discovery after becoming disenchanted with my child's play based…read morepreschool. It felt like a good fit for our family, so we tried it out. That was three years ago and in that time, My daughter has flourished in the Montessori program. The kindness and care that Miss Lakshmi and the staff exhibit toward the children and their families is truly extraordinary, and the curriculum offered (music, art, French) is above and beyond anything we've found in the area. We feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon this amazing school!

I would not rely on niche for any school review. I wrote a negative review that was never posted. I…read morehave had 2 children at this school for 4 years, and I am less then impressed. If you want a school that you can just brag about your kids going to, this is it. The only thing you're paying for is the beautiful campus and the small class size, which sells themselves. The teachers here are old and need to retire, like most schools. There's nothing special about the faculty here, or the administrators, which are far from lacking. Bullying still goes on at this school, kids with different ethnic background also made fun of, and the sense of entitlement the kids have with each other in older grades is unheard of. It's surprising after 100 years of running a school? How they still don't have it together. If you like to be fed a bunch of bullshit from a PR company, who writes emails about wonderful the school is, when they can't seem to keep it together internally, this is the school for you. You'll also need a back up nanny if you work, because the kids have off more days then you can count. Also, with the location the power goes out a lot and they do NOT have a back up generator. Safety? They rely on the police offer looking for lost cars in the drive way. They don't even call you if you don't show up to pick your kid, they put them in the afterschool program and hope you show up. Several times the faculty never responds to messages. Our children's teachers have many times seemed like they care about anything related to our children's teachers. One even told me in a parent teacher conference she was counting down the days until the break came!! Don't waste your money or be lured in by the pretty setting, it comes with problems.

The absolute best team of "moms and dads" to be mom and dad for those of us who have to work. After…read more5 years of searching for the best environment for my first child, I am so grateful beyond belief to have found Chris, Laura, Alicia and the Goddard team. To say they are above average is an understatement - they are dedicated and committed to helping us raise our children when life hands us circumstances that don't allow us to stay home anymore with our little ones. As a young single mom, choosing a school for my children is EVERYTHING. I cannot function everyday unless I know they are receiving the absolute best care, and Goddard is it for us. My son has been through a tough year of specialists and doctors and the entire staff and school have been so patient with us through all of our challenges. The director and owner are so hands on, you won't find them hiding behind the scenes like many other schools. Thank you to Miss Ariana and Miss Mary for being my little boys mentors and for treating him with so much love. We love The Goddard School of Macedonia!!
