Over priced and under delivers. Basically educationally on par with public schools or even a…read morelittle behind it seems. My kid is repeating stuff at CFA in the 6th grade that he did in 5th at Porters Neck Elementary. When my kid was at another private school, he was academically, a year ahead of the public school. My kid is not challenged at CFA. I feel he is falling behind academically. There is some bullying going on and there are some disruptive students present which distracts from the other kid's learning opportunities as well. For example, a teacher's kid who is a student there had a tantrum and broke five cell phones belonging to other students. Another kid was punched in the face twice. My kid mentioned they have seven 3D / media printers but only one works. Obviously I am putting him in a different school next year. Although the teachers and staff are friendly, overall I am disappointed. For me personally I see no benefit to sending my kid here except it may be somewhat safer than public schools. While safety is always number one, school is for learning. Nothing personal, just my pragmatic opinion which I hope will be helpful / appreciated. Another consideration is that Wilmington has limited educational opportunities even if you can pay for them.

This school does not reflect the values it claims to uphold. Instead of fostering a nurturing and…read morecompassionate environment, students are often dismissed, disciplined unfairly, or treated with little respect. Concerns about mistreatment are ignored, and there is little accountability from the administration. Education should be about more than just academics; it should be about respect, integrity, and care for students' well-being. Unfortunately, this school falls short in those areas. If you are looking for a truly supportive and faith-driven environment, I would advise looking elsewhere. (Preferably two 7th grade teachers who gossip and mock students). If you would like more details, please reply to this to see the full story.

Sending your child to SMCS is probably one of the worst decisions you can make as a parent. My…read moredaughter was there for 7 years. She not only received a disappointing education but was tormented by both teachers and fellow students. The principle targets certain children who seemingly have done nothing wrong. My daughter was suspended from the school for no apparent reason, and when I spoke to the principle about it, he could not give me a clear answer as to why she was getting disciplined. We had a serious run in with bullying at St. Marks but since the girl bullying my daughter had parents that donated money, the school refused to intervene. They care more about money than the mental safety of their students. I absolutely do not recommend this school

Beware of applying to this school if your child is ADHD or on a 504 plan. I was assured that it…read morewould not be a problem getting my son in. I was completely honest and upfront about his 504 plan, ADHD, and depression issues (which were resolved) We were supposedly declined because of "serious behavior issues" and bad grades. The only bad grade he had was a 72 in an advanced placement class. His behavior issues were extremely minor. Tardys, late work, a small confrontation with a student that had been bullying him since the previous year. He was with some friends and said the f word which a teacher overheard. All these were served with no more than a lunch detention. I never could get the principal to talk to me which really screams discrimination! He couldn't confront me and this is supposed to be a Christian school. My son's assistant principal got back to me and wanted to call them and let them know my son has had hiccups,but nothing major and he was a good kid. Which he is and we are happy to not be attending Myrtle Grove. Just beware of staff and admissions "committee".
