    I would not recommend Calvary Christian Academy. From my experience, the school appears much better…read moreand safer from the outside than it actually feels once you are there. Academically, the level felt behind where it should be--at times around two grade levels. While the school presents itself as strong academically, that was not my experience. The student environment was also not very welcoming. It was difficult to feel included, and there were issues with bullying, behavior, and racism that made the atmosphere uncomfortable. Religion was heavily emphasized throughout the school. In my experience, mistakes sometimes felt treated in a way that made students feel judged or as if they had done something morally wrong, which created a very uncomfortable environment. I also felt that some teachers did not take student concerns seriously. The principal never addressed some of the problems that were brought up, and it felt like concerns were simply ignored instead of being properly dealt with. This made it difficult to feel like speaking up would actually make a difference. Overall, the school often felt like it prioritized appearance over addressing real issues, creating a disconnect between how it presents itself and the actual experience. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Calvary Christian Academy. I wish I could give 0 stars.

    I am writing this to warn other families about Calvary Christian Academy. While Pastor Mike sermons…read morethat the church is a place for the sick on weekends, the school's practices don't align. A child must check all their boxes to get in and stay. Our son started with the preschool when they opened. He was there for 3 years, built friendships, and we helped raise money and start construction for the middle school and gymnasium. Now, ready for kindergarten, they dismissed him solely because of his ADHD--even though he scored an 80% on their readiness testing. We loved staff like Mrs. Eliza and Mrs. Mary, who were always great and smiling. However, there are ulterior motives behind staffing. The Head of School is the brother, and most school board members' wives are on staff. Unless your child fits perfectly into a box, be warned they may be cast aside regardless of loyalty.

    They fired an employee with no *legitimate* explanation as to why. The employee was asked to leave…read moreand she did. This employee also had a child enrolled in the duration of her employment and upon termination, her son stayed on daycare premises for the rest of the day. However, her son was signed out by the director, Loretta Gibbons, without authorization. This means that they had a child in their care who was not signed in for an entire day. This is a huge breach of safety for the child, his mother, and in some states, may be considered illegal for the school. When asked if it is protocol for a child to be expelled upon termination of a parent who is an employee, Mrs. Gibbons said "yes". (This protocol is not stated in the employment handbook). When asked how the enrollment of the child was a conflict of interest, Mrs.Gibbons said " Because she was badmouthing me ". So now we have a Christian school firing employees based off of hearsay without any attempt to sit down and resolve any perceived conflict or effort of verification. The director, Loretta Gibbons, was witnessed engaging in gossip , and favoritism. (This employee and one other employee are the only employees of Latin/Hispanic descent), and was also witnessed as divisive and meddling. This is a supposed christian environment , yet the daycare is infamous in the community as a gossip hub. Gibbons refused to discuss any further details about why this employee was terminated other than " She badmouthed me" Firing someone based off of hearsay is not the way to conduct business, nor is reactive termination appropriate at a church. Let's not forget to mention video proof of underage drinking at the 2023 Christmas party as well as the director being heavily intoxicated. People don't remember what you say, they remember how you made them feel. This is a callous environment. Their ministry is very vague, with no real outreach impacting the surrounding community in a positive way. No one knows about them, and there is a high turnover of employment. Enter at your own risk. And if your child is enrolled, make sure you don't upset the Director otherwise your kid will be out of care with no appropriate notice.
