The staff and administration is truly caring and this is a faith based (but not "Pushy" faith based) school. The building is wonderful and the activity's are great. Our kids love going there, they don't want to leave at the end of the day and all there friends are the same way. In short this is an amazing place and a special one. The owners are on site every day, the chef cooks meals for the kids (vegetarian) and they great teachers and staff. There is, at this time at least a 1 year waiting list, so you need to consider that if your interested it's best to get a tour soon.

I attended a Lenten fish fry dinner here at Saint James Catholic Cathedral school. The school has…read morebeen around since 1928. For the last few years during Lent they host a fish fry dinner for the community. It is held in the school cafeteria. Hundreds of people turn out to have dinner, fellowship, and donate to a good cause. The St. James Knights of Columbus and their families volunteer to batter fry delicious fish, make french fries, and various homemade side dishes. The side dishes, except the coleslaw, it's homemade by the parents of the school students. The mac & cheese is so, so, so delicious. The students also have a bake sale to raise money for their cause. The students are also the servers who bring our food and clean off the tables. They are always so sweet and hospitable and the beautiful representation of the type of students that attend St James Cathedral school. They only do the fish fry twice in Lent. But if you have a chance next year check it out! Also, most of the Catholic Churches around the area host fish fries during Lent. And I can tell you their food is top quality! And what a better way to have some fish and chips, then by supporting charitable causes.

StarChild Academy Winter Garden (SCAWG) is a great option for preschool; however, I strongly…read morecaution against enrolling your child in the elementary school. The overall positives of the school are cultural diversity among the staff and student body, a family feel, and friendly, caring faculty and staff, as well as building updates on the preschool side. Preschool Pros: curriculum Preschool Cons: Teacher retention; on average, children go through at least 2 lead teachers a year, and it's a revolving door for assistants. When our children were attending SCAWG, it was advertised as an advanced curriculum school; it's not. We withdrew our youngest child first because it's easiest to succeed in surrounding charter schools' lotteries when entering kindergarten. Youngest attended from age 2.5 - 5 (VPK). Youngest is testing above grade level in ELA (was even promoted to grade 1 phonics class at new school) on Florida's statewide standardized assessments (F.A.S.T); however, Math results were below grade level. Elementary School Pros: N/A Elementary School Cons: no technology in classrooms, teacher retention, no behavioral specialist, inadequate disciplinary action, unrealistic amount of at-home supplementing, ineffective curriculum, no positive reinforcements for academic achievement, no standardized test prep, combined 4th and 5th grade class Oldest attended from age 3-9 (grade 3.5; we withdrew after mid-year). For context, in kindergarten, first, and second grade, the oldest had all A's with 1 B for the whole school year. Q1 of third grade all A's, one B, Q2 of third grade all A's, one B. Oldest tested at grade level in ELA on F.A.S.T and below grade level in Math. At SCAWG, they introduce concepts and move on quickly without allowing the child adequate time to practice or retain what they've learned. While every institution has its pros and cons, we're most disappointed by what we now realize is a horrible curriculum and questionable teaching styles. There are better elementary school options in the area than SCAWG, and I urge you to exhaust them. SCAWG Elementary turned out to be a colossal waste of money for us - it shouldn't have to be for you, too.

Our youngest is now in Pre-K3 and has had a harder time adjusting, but the teachers are patient and kind with her. She is learning ahead of my expectations and has friends she is in class with now. There are also cameras there to peek in on them and give me a little piece of mind with the youngest having such a hard time adjusting. This is a fantastic place to bring your kids to grow and learn!

She loves school again, is finding success academically and socially and goes on and on each evening about the teachers.

I did speak with a friend after the tour who is pretty involved in the private Christian school market and they recommended PCCA to us, too. Feel free to reach out to me.

All of the kids in my family attended the Christian Academy and preschool here as well and its a blessing they learn so much and not to mention they care for the children. Each and every single one of them. A place where they take the time to learn their names and study their strengths and weaknesses. Compare to public schools and other academy's. The Principal here has a passion for kids you can sense it by the way she runs the school and talks to them. Another thing is security you feel that your kids are safer here. They are extremely cautious and have security on site and during dismal. The playgrounds are secured & fenced. Thank you for all your hard Work Calvary City Church!!

She taught so many important lessons, both academically and personally, and helped my daughter achieve Principal's Honor Roll. I truly could not have asked for a better school or more amazing teachers. We are so grateful for the love, support, and education our daughter has received at Cranium Academy.
