We found that and so much more at Grace Christian Academy. The classical Christian approach utilized at GCA not only challenges our children, but has molded them into so much more than what we bargained for. We've noticed changes in character, maturity, discipline as well as a dramatic change their work ethic as well. The work load at GCA is heavy and extremely challenging, but also well balanced and geared toward equipping a child's mind to becoming not only successful as an adult, but impacting the world through the eyes of God's Word.

Always a beautiful, spirit-filled time at Upper Room Christian World Center…read more There are two services on Sundays, 9 and 11am. When I do attend, I prefer the 9am service. I always prefer earlier service. I especially love the praise and worship sessions here! Like most full gospel Churches, even if you don't know some (or all lol) of the lyrics to the songs, there are big screens with them so you can follow and sing to your heart's content. They have a lovely choir and this Sunday's song worship leaders were four young adults with amazing vocals. Sometimes I get carried away and dance a bit too much but hey...when the spirt moves right. I follow this Church on social media as well. I appreciate that even though I'm unable to attend a concert or a session they always release videos and other information so I'm updated. The inspirational messages are a huge help as well. Whenever I'm home I and I have a ride you can find me here on Sundays. Praise God.

The featured artists were Fred Hammond, Donald Lawrence, Leonard Lacey and a surprise visit by Donnie McClurkin. What a time!! Music was awesome! Full orchestra and choirs. They "sang"! Concert began at 8:30pm and ended at 11:00pm. Mime & Liturgical dance duet was phenomenal. Fred Hammond & Donald Lawrence fabulous as always. Sounded just like their CDs. Truly enjoyed this concert that was a wedding anniversary gift to my honey & I with VIP seats. I drained my phone taking videos but it was worth it. The church is beautiful and large. It has a balcony also. Large attached parking lot. Food sold in the lobby. We've attended this church for service a couple of years ago and was blessed by the sermon. If you're ever in the area come and experience the Sunday service.

On June 7th of this year my husband passed away. We had his memorial service in the Chapel in the Woods at Kol Ami for a substantial but reasonable price. I called them to find out about Yizkor Service attendance. (A one hour service) The executive Director told me it would cost $400 for my daughter and I to attend this service due to security reasons. While it may be reasonable to know who is going to attend in advance, I question whether two people will cost that much for security. I believe that Jewish law directs that no mourner should be turned away from Yizkor worship. In the end, my daughter and I went to Yizkor Services at Woodlands Temple with friends. No charge and a welcoming atmosphere.

Several students took us around and showed us all the classrooms including Nursery (full day and half day - 2 separate classes). We were able to ask questions directly to the students, speak with the teachers and see the teacher interact with children. At the end of the open house, the Principal shared the school's vision, mission and goals. She also mentioned to us that several 8th graders were accepted at top high schools in New York including Townsend Harris High School and Stuyvesant High School. This school has up to 20 students per class. They have an early drop off and late pick up program, but they do not offer lunch. Parents can sign up children to take different classes (tennis, hockey, etc) during the after school program.

The teachers are very well-qualified, responsive to the children (they "meet the kids where they are") and assign an appropriate / varying levels of homework.  The small size of the very diverse student body (less than 400 kids from early childhood (3 years old) to eighth grade allows each student to know one another and to be known by the teachers/administrators.  There are never any "back to school nerves" at our house!  Excellent music program, afterschool enrichment classes + afterschool care available.  Though we have very good public schools in the area, there is no comparison to the quality of what SSCA provides.  Easy to access on F, G train (lots of kids travel on public transportation/school bus).  Kids have time outside either in an "open streets" access or via a short walk to Prospect Park.  Very devoted parents/alumni.  Current 8th grade class has received a small fortune in scholarships to top Catholic + specialized high schools.  A gem of a school.  Check it out!
