She loves school more than anything, to have your child beg to go to school, happy every morning is priceless. She grew to be a confident and kind girl and I am positive the school had an immense impact on this. I always felt heard, communication with leadership as well as teachers have been amazing. The performances always blow my mind and last years robotic show for first grade surpassed my expectations. Truly recommend.

We have had kids at Paddington since 2017, and they love it! Our oldest was very shy when she…read morestarted there, but with the encouragement of one of their incredible teachers, she was totally out of her shell by the end of that first year. Then, were so impressed with their handling of the pandemic in 2020 (we experienced no "covid learning loss"), it was an easy decision to stay on for the primary grades. And we have not been disappointed! We continue to have truly great teachers, that you can actually interact with every day at drop off and pickup and build relationships with them. I highly encourage anyone who is interested to schedule a tour or go to one of the open houses. Not only is it a charming environment, you will be amazed at how much more they manage to cover than just the basics. There is a focus on fine arts and performances, which are so great for confidence building. But they also get into robotics, go on cool field trips, and seem to have more fun events and activities than you might get in public school. The summer camp sessions are great, too! We'll be very sad to move on after 4th grade!

The faculty, staff, and parents are clearly all aligned under a common goal of doing what's best for our students. I can't imagine teaching anywhere else!

The girl who ordered this was wearing a crop top, clearly out of dress code. What is this place?

It is deeply disheartening to witness a school that claims to uphold educational values but instead…read moreprioritizes profit over people. In such an environment, money takes precedence over morality, and the principles of compassion, fairness, and integrity--ideals central to a Christ-centered community--are completely abandoned. At this school, wealth determines worth. Families with financial influence are given preferential treatment, while others are sidelined. Bullying, an issue that demands serious intervention, is often overlooked if the offending family has enough money or influence. This not only fosters a toxic environment for students but also undermines any semblance of justice or accountability. Teachers and staff are equally unsupported, especially when conflicts arise involving wealthy families. Instead of standing by their educators--those who dedicate themselves to shaping young minds--the administration appears to bow to financial power, leaving teachers disheartened and vulnerable. What should be a nurturing educational institution has devolved into a business driven by revenue, not relationships, and certainly not by Christ. The well-being of children, the professional respect of faculty, and the cultivation of a caring community have been sacrificed on the altar of financial gain and branding appeal. TWCA is not just failing in their mission--it is actively harming those it is meant to serve. Education should inspire and uplift, not divide and exploit. Please do your research beyond what their fake advertisement leads you to believe. Good people do not graduate from The Woodlands "Christian" Academy after what these kids are put through and exposed to.

BEWARE! The teacher in this review is moving to the…read moreWoodlands campus next year. Beware, parents! *slight edit* I was just sent an e mail that this teacher is not at the Woodlands Campus but at Greengate Academy in Spring. I've lost count; this may be my 5th review. SHSU Charter has a way of making poor reviews vanish. My child used to attend SHSU Humble campus and I regret leaving him there as long as I did. My own background is almost 20 years in education as a teacher, trainer, curriculum developer, coach and specialist at both the site and district level. Due to the nature of my positions, I've literally been in 100s of classrooms. Most teachers are good, or at least have potential. It is the rare few that should not even be in the profession. The K/1 teacher at SHSU would fall into this category. First, the teacher was very rude and uncaring most all the year. She constantly ignored everyone and never let us know how our kids were doing. Anytime I tried to have a conversation with her she'd roll her eyes, sigh and basically act like a spoiled teenager. Next, it is NOT TRUE that SHSU charter doesn't do testing. They do MAP testing 3 times a year, weekly reading tests, and unit math tests alongside several science and social studies exams. It is also NOT TRUE that all the teachers are experts with over a decade of experience. While my child really liked the PE and music teachers and I heard positives about some teachers at other sites, the Humble teacher had never worked with a group larger than 8 and was in desperate need of a mentor or possibly a job change. Not once did I get the impression that she liked her job, the students and most certainly not the parents. Possibly she went into teaching thinking it would be easy, and lucky for her; her position was. Working all alone in a class of only 7 far from the main office in Woodlands must have been a dream come true. Nobody was checking in on her so she could do as she pleased, or more specifically, do as little as she pleased. Not working was certainly her motto. She arrived each day 15 minutes before class and left when the kids did. Each day the same 2 girls would get "red cards" for small infractions. As an educational coach I know, if 25% of your class isn't focused the problem isn't the kids, it's the teacher. The teacher became upset/ embarrassed when it was discovered she was playing on her phone rather than working. The kids would sit alone doing piles of worksheets while she sat at her desk much of the day. Due to being found out, she started a "new policy" that no parent was allowed 1 inch in the class without an appointment. I spoke to both the principal and superintendent about this, and they seemed perfectly happy with the idea of parents being cut off from their child's education. They disguised the door policy as being something all the sites were doing in response to gun control, but as I found out from a friend at another site; this policy was only placed at the Humble campus. One day I entered about 6 inches past the doorframe and was treated like gum on the bottom of her shoe. Yelling, screaming, eye-rolling and telling me to get out. She acted like a maniac in front of the class and I realized my child would be better served staying home watching TV than in a class with a lunatic. I pulled my child an hour later and he told me he was so happy and he never wanted to be in a class with a mean, bad teacher again.

A school trip, a class play and a research project to top it off in the kinder class! The kids get to really experience education, socialization and learn manners in a structured environment. I can't say enough about the teachers, their patience and attitudes and the program they are running. We will miss this place!

I'm very torn on this review. First, let me say that the teachers were great to work with as well…read moreas Debbie (the owner). They really engaged with my son and worked with him well, showing their commitment and genuine interest in him. The reason for the bad review surrounds the Director, specifically. She was the complete opposite and seemed to have disdain towards my child. She seemed to peg him early on as a "bad kid" and made it apparent that she did not want to deal with him. She would roll her eyes when he arrived and was not pleasant or friendly. While there were definitely some behavioral concerns and things we (the owner, teachers, and I) were working on with my son, she had no interest in this whatsoever. Instead of contributing to an improvement plan, she simply presented it as "not her problem". I spoke with staff about this and they said they were unfortunately not surprised. Today was a tough day with my child being disruptive (talking during naptime) and I was called to pick him up. Her smirk was apparent when I arrived and she seemed very satisfied in informing me that my son was not welcome and they would give me up to two weeks to find somewhere else. I very kindly stated that I did not want my son to attend somewhere that he was not welcome, hoping to get a response that they would continue to treat him well/care/etc., to which she responded "oh ok then I'll just disenroll him today". So, apparently she has no desire to make children feel welcome. Her snide comments and remarks made this experience entirely unfortunate for me and my child, but again the teachers were wonderful and I will miss them greatly.
