Excellent teachers and staff. The building is very old and a remodel. Any time it rains the roof leaks. The layout can be very confusing at times but you get used to it. read more

I never thought I'd be writing a review like this after spending thousands in donations on top of…read morenormal tuition. The school does not live up to its marketing pitch. However, most of ESK's flaws will not be readily apparent to those visiting. You'll likely assume that your kids are in a small class and teachers are working with them. But, if you read no further than here, I suggest that you consider what ESK is actually teaching (the actual core curriculum) and compare it to national, local, or other private school standards. It falls drastically short - particularly in reading, history, and science. They don't even have textbooks or teach basic phonics in the lower grades. Problems: 1) While they hang their hat on the student/teacher ratio, the additional teaching assistant more often just allows the teacher to slack off. This surprised us because, like most people, we thought that more teachers would mean more attention. However, that didn't happen. 2) Instead of the usual schoolwork, a lot of class time is spent on projects designed to continuously impress the parents. Regularly, you'll get something like a laminated book with a storyline about how mom and dad are awesome. But, at the expense of this, there's not much time for the true nuts-and-bolts of teaching your kid. Among other things, ESK skips over phonics and does not even have textbooks to send home (just copies of worksheets). Since ESK doesn't conduct tests or assign grades, parents may not notice deficiencies until it's too late. It's a "participation trophy" philosophy that is, in the end, harmful to kids' academic success. The fuzzy standards also help teachers do whatever they want in teaching. This is particularly true for one 1st grade teacher who favors studying butterflies and outdoors over reading and writing. Likewise, in Kindergarten, our child went many weeks without doing reading assignments because the teacher just didn't send anything home. In second grade, the teacher had a love for Civil Rights, politics, and Black history. Again, fine material for older kids or college, but not for 2.5 months of class time in second grade. The peculiar history lessons also created confusion since there was no clear timeline or context (as one would have with most American history textbooks). 3) Schools should be apolitical. As a middle of the road guy, I'm bothered by right or left political indoctrination of my elementary school kids. In this instance, ESK has a decidedly liberal political agenda and incorporates it into the curriculum. They also teach inappropriate content at a young age. We had enough when our 7 year old child was assigned a book entitled, Maya Angelou: Journey of the Heart by Jayne Pettit. On pages 16-18 of this book, there is a graphic description of a young Maya Angelou being molested by her mother's boyfriend. 4) If you plan on earning money to pay the $15,000 tuition, be prepared to take a lot of time off for the various activities during the school day. Very little, if anything, is scheduled for after school. 5) The new headmaster is an ineffective leader. He previously led a NC charter school ranked average by that state. Moreover, unlike the former headmaster, he lacks charisma and was unable to handle routine issues. 6) If you are a Christian, you'll be disappointed by the fact that ESK seems to shy away from embracing the religious aspects that could offend someone. During the holidays, there was always an email practically apologizing to non-Christian students for having Christmas and Easter events. Overall: There are much better options in Knoxville. ESK puts on a good front. But, it is woefully deficient in how it prepares children for later academic success.

Within 3 weeks of class, she was reading... and FAST! She also tells me certain arithmetic facts and wants me to quiz her. She's made great friends here, and I love that she gets to play outside often. The teacher incorporate outside activities into the lessons. I appreciate that her weekly schedule includes P.E., library, art, music, and two foreign languages. I also like that the cafeteria food is farm-to-table. Parents are encouraged to participate and visit. The students attend chapel every day, and I love when my daughter tells me what she prayed about. I have no complaints about ESK.

My online live instructors were extremely knowledgeable in their subjects and were patient with me when I didn't understand part of the lesson. The online learning environment was intuitive and an easy way to learn new material with plenty of opportunities to watch examples, practice on your own, and ask questions. Valerie was my Power Hour instructor and I was very impressed with her seamless instruction - in just an hour she was able to instruct us on the basics of using PivotCharts to summarize large sets of data. As a data analyst, this power hour and my three online courses (SQL: Fundamentals, SQL: Advanced, and Excel PowerPivot) have been invaluable to the efficiency of my work and the growth of my skill set.

I have found all my classes at Strayer to be both thought provoking and intellectually stimulating. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Strayer and I am honored to be able to say I have had the privilege to attend such a fine University with a team of the most caring, understanding and motivational professors and advisors (Academic, admitting), that encouraged and supported me every step of the way; which gave me the strength to achieve my degree even in the most trying times of my life.

Let me begin by saying there are a lot of genuine, kind hearted people at Crown College. Many of my teachers genuinely had a heart for their students and wanted them to succeed. I am from Knoxville and so is all of my family. Crown college is in a convenient location for someone who lives here. A few years ago, I began my journey for a degree in elementary education. I was attending an out of state school because of its credentials and accreditations. I soon learned that Crown College became accredited and through discussion with a Crown advisor, I made the decision to transfer to their college. Through discussion with this representative, I was given the impression that Crown now had all I needed to become a successful teacher. I was even told that Crown will help you find a job upon graduation. In my mind, this was a great opportunity for me. I went through the grueling years of college and the intensive work. To me it was worth it because, in the end, I would be able to obtain my dream job. I reached my final semester. I was completing a 40 hour internship, additional outside projects for the education program, three additional classes, and a full time job. It was grueling. I averaged 3-4 hours of sleep a night. In the end it would be worth it. In our very last semester, we had a meeting with all the student teachers. In this meeting, they told us that while crown was accredited, they were not licensed. While it is something they were and still are working on, we could not take our praxis or get our license through the crown college. If we wanted to obtain a license we could contact another institution and possibly take their masters program and then apply. I spoke with several other colleges and some do not even accept credits from crown. To take a program with them, I would need to start from scratch. I understand that it is a Christian college and most graduates want to teach in a Christian school. But even most of the Christian schools in my area do not consider teachers without a license. Because I graduated from crown I do not have a license and do not know how to get one. I have tried to seek council on what route I need to take if the road requires more work. No one has been able to help me, if I do not want to re-begin my bachelor's journey. My education degree is virtually useless and I cannot find a teaching position remotely close to where I live. A year and a half later, I still work for the job I started to get me through college until I could have a job I love. I am not a teacher. I understand Crown is a private institution and it is their prerogative to be as successful as they desire. But their duty to their students is to make them aware of what they will obtain through their institution. Ignorant college students are just that, ignorant. They come to college to learn success and how to obtain what they want to obtain. Through guidance is how they succeed. If you go on letting them believe your accreditation is the highest standard of what they need to succeed to the highest degree, they will believe you. They have come to you for more knowledge. I wish that someone had told me that accreditation and licensing are not the same and upon graduation from Crown a teaching position would be hard to find close to home. I have paid more than $80,000 to Crown college for a dream I know not how to obtain. Ignorance is bliss until you reach the outcome.
