CLS is a great place to get an education…read more Yes - the tuition is HEFTY (but about the same as Country Day and Providence Day) and - as a result - most of the student body is very very affluent. There is some diversity - but obviously not as much as some of the public schools. It is a place where students really do know their teachers, and teachers DEFINITELY know the students - you get individual attention at all levels - I feel totally comfortable calling any teacher to get feedback on my kids. Students feel very comfortable - and safe - in the classroom and on the campus. Speaking of the campus - it is beyond beautiful. Prettier than most colleges. Great classrooms, great learning environment. Great environment for the arts. Great (unbelievable) athletic facilities. Since the student body is small - everyone is involved in something - and more are involved in several "things". Not unusual to have a football athlete in a musical, the editor of the poetry journal involved in a sport, and the debate team, etc. Yes the students can be portrayed as "entitled". Hey - at $20k/year - their parents have invested a lot of money in their educations - and probably have money for 2nd homes, luxury cars, vacations, etc. School tries to emphasize community service, diversity programs, and giving back. However - the kids attitudes are formed at home for the most part - don't blame the school if kids appear to be spoiled - blame the parents. I seriously evaluated taking my kids out of CLS for high school and putting them in the neighborhood public school. I actually did some substitute teaching in the upper school - and found the students polite, respectful, and (gasp) actually interested in learning. It's a place where it is cool to be smart, be artistic, be an athlete, perform community service, understand the news, be a science nerd, and to be involved. One of my kids is in college - and said that she does feel that CLS gave her an advantage in college because "she knew how to write, how to study, how to plan, and how/when to ask for help".

Located between SouthPark and Dilworth neighborhoods, this Middle School is in a prime spot. Now I…read morecan't review the school itself since I am way past middle school age... but I come here often to use the school's track. Usually in the mornings. There are other fitness groups that use the track F3 and other running groups, but usually everyone is pretty nice (especially at 5am). The track itself is not lit (lighted), but the streetlights from Runnymede give you enough ambient light to run on the track early on. Just try not to wear all black - unless you are going for a ninja look or trying to scare someone. Aside from the track - there are plenty of parking spaces and access to the fields. A lot of times I see the F3 guys rolling around in the grass, or doing suicide runs on the basketball courts. I'm just happy I actually got out of bed at that hour to run.

As a working mom UFCA's before school AND after school programs are a blessing especially as they continue this service through high school which some schools didn't offer. Another smaller school bonus is not having to wait through huge car lines, and I can find a place to park and sit for special events like muffins with moms. Finally, I like the opportunities for extracurricular activities such as sports teams, music lessons, and performing arts.. and your child actually has a chance to participate! Check out UFCA!

My wife and I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the right school of our son before…read moremoving to the area. Unfortunately everything went wrong here. We have been "spoiled" by coming from a well organized, timely and all around great Christian School in South Carolina were we moved from. So our expectations were very high. After 2 days at the school...we pulled out son. The final straw was a letter from the Head Mistress saying our son would be penalized for not attending an overnight retreat. This wouldn't have been an issue , except it was a question we asked admission before committing and was told he could skip without penalty, -Chores at school with the Janitor-Really( Its 2019 People I am not letting my son go on a trip 6 days into a new school year with a bunch of strangers - Have you read the paper lately) Unfortunately other than our interaction with Tonya in Admissions, everything went down hill from there. I am not going to use this review to get emotional or gripe about the money we are out. I am just going to bulletin point everything and let you take it from there. I do want to mention , that because of this , our son is now in Public School for the first time in his 7 years in school. The crazy part is, "free" school has been better organized and more professional and than UFCA. When looking for schools in Early July We toured UFCA and our son also shadowed for a half day. The "showboat" part went well. - 30 days before school started I was following them on Instagram and they said they would be posting a new post everyday until school started- The next day they missed the post which should have been my first sign (they missed several posts) - An email was sent out 2 days before an Athletic Meeting even though we was out of time - A sign of how communication would be - Open House was a mess- We were put in a crowded hot cafeteria, with no direction. We headed to the chapel on a whim after hearing another couple say they were heading that way. - Open house started 7 minutes late - (This is school, c'mon people ), what are we teaching these kids. The Open House is where we found out school would run a little later than we were originally told - a blessing that it dint affect us, but what about the parents who it did affect - We then as a crowd were asked for sponsorship (they called them partnerships but did not list any of the benefits to the payee" and they also talked about online reviews. - It was very uncomfortable and not professional at all - The head mistress then had lots of back and forth in a very unorganized speech. There was no notes or references and it was scattered at best. It was not professional in the slightest and a horrible first impression. - My sons first day of school was going to be great, as we pulled into the mess of a car loop line, The Bible Teacher begin yelling and being rude for No Reason (yes the Bible Teacher). After some back and forth (and no apologies) we headed around the car loop and asked the Head Mistress where to park to walk our son into his first day of school. She said that wasn't allowed, and when I gave her that look she made an "exception" (is this really happening and let me walk our son in. When we got there the Teacher was not in the room, the door was shut and the lights were off, another teacher let us in the room...Great first day - The next night was our "Soccer" meeting - Another unorganized joke. Not enough players, no roster call and then it went from practicing outside , to the chapel (yes they said they practice in the chapel) to an hour in the hallway in the most unorganized practice I have ever seen. It was just too much so soon. The signs were there. I hope we can save you- By the way they are still charging my card - We will now be taking them to small claims.

It has taken time to reveal the extent of the damage to his heart. We put a lot of hope in this being the perfect school for our 4 kids. Great leadership - my favorite celebrity pastor on the Board. The best theology. Challenging academics. Strong community. We could not find a school like this anywhere else. What could go wrong? The kids. The kids here know exactly how to appear as Christians and give right answers and charm adults to win the coveted "Best Christian" awards. But they step on each other to elevate themselves rather than lending a hand to lift each other up. It is a very competitive place in sports and academics and cut-throat socially. It is NOT a wholesome place. These kids are on their phones absorbing and propagating the exact same messages you are hoping to pay for a Christian school to get away from. There are family names at this school and their kids could get away with murder and they know it. If your child is one of their hapless victims, the school would just tell you to pursue Matthew 18 and say reassuringly, "Sin is everywhere." The bullying among the kids is the worst I have ever seen or heard of. It absolutely totally broke our 5th grader and he was only there for a few months. He had been very sheltered his whole life at a small Christian private school, so when he got to this school, the boys in his grade quickly took advantage of that for their own entertainment and mocked, degraded and brutalized him until he believed them - that he was indeed a gay a** pu***. This actually may be the most expensive private school you ever send your kid to, because the messages he absorbed here about himself and the therapy he needs now are exorbitant...there is no end in sight and we are praying for God to do a miracle in his life. But the kids would not be empowered to be the way they are without the adults at this school enabling them. All the adults smile and pretend like everything is fine because they are horrified at the idea of confronting one another or offending any of the "important families." They are all cowardly people-pleasing addicts who care more about maintaining their own spot-in-the-pecking-order than putting that at risk to protect and defend a child who desperately needs a hero. I can't not write a review because I sure wish we'd been warned before entrusting this place with my children.

My son is in an AU classroom and I trust his AU teachers, but recently he came home with 4 bruises that even my son's doctor says looks like finger marks, as if he was restrained to hard. I don't know what happened, all I know is he came home with marks on him and that's not supposed to happen. I think the good teachers at McAlpine should find another school to teach at. The leadership at this school needs major improvement because parents need to be able to trust them.
