Are they on meds that need to be administered at school? Are they Neurodiverse (Dyslexic, Anxiety, ADHD, Autistic, Dyscalculia, etc.)? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this school probably isn't for you. We really loved the school when the kid was younger. But, partway through the lower school, supports and amenities suddenly got a lot more scarce! The Middle School is even worse. Were the staff at fault? Usually not. Decisions were made and the kids that needed a bit of help paid the price. There isn't a school nurse. They have remodeled some of the specialist-type classrooms to convert them into classrooms. There has been quite a bit of staff leaving in the last 5 years. There isn't a real 9:1 kid to teacher ratio in practice, they use alternative accounting practices including counting staff members like the librarian (kids see the librarian for an hour or less per week while most teachers rush back to their rooms for preparation time leaving the librarian often alone with the kids). Teacher assistants in the lower school are not necessarily full time and are often pulled from class to cover teachers and things like playground duties. The administration is actively trying to add more students per class, and more classes overall, as all administrators are prone to do. In short, while it is a beautiful school, it isn't for everyone. Try not to be dazzled and ask the hard questions. See if this is right for your family. It is an expensive question to get wrong.

    I am considered an expert in the field of early childhood education with many years' experience as…read morea trainer, writer, consultant, administrator and teacher. Over the years, I have observed and conducted comprehensive, objective observations of over a hundred preschool classrooms. I am also the grandmother of a student who was enrolled in the Peer Inclusion Preschool class at Stanley Elementary School in Tacoma Washington. This school and this class is by far the worst program I have ever encountered. The teacher is unqualified to teach a Peer Inclusion Preschool Class. Certified elementary teachers are required to have Early Childhood Education and Early Childhood Special Education training to earn endorsements for their credentials to teach this class. It does not appear the district has provided training of any kind for her. Her teaching methods betray her lack of knowledge about child development, about how young children learn, or the standards for best practice. The way she teaches is a good example of the way preschoolers were taught in 1975. She does not implement the Tacoma School District designated curriculum for preschool. The children do not have access to the books and toys in the classroom. There is almost no communication from school to home. Parents are not allowed to observe in the classroom or to see the curriculum, which is illegal. The classroom is dirty. The children are sick way too often. On at least one occasion, (and presumably more), the children are not given the meal components on the posted menu. On that occasion they were given a single piece of pizza and water (no milk, no fruit, no veggies). The principal is aggressively rude, disrespectful, dishonest and unprofessional. The district was not helpful. Nothing changed. Nobody seemed to care.

    We switched from public school to LCA and are grateful for the experience. Our children have…read morereceived a better education than they received at public school and in a much better environment - not only are other students respectful during class but teachers care about the well being of the students. Our kids are very athletic and we have one that is attending a D2 school on athletic scholarship and our other children are competing in sports and getting play time and those sports that LCA does not offer, like Lacrosse, they are able to play through our neighborhood high school. We have been very pleased with our experience here.

    Would give zero stars if I could. Please don't send your kids to this school. The teachings do not…read morereflect the Bible and represent hateful, discriminatory views. If you don't want to cause trauma to your kids, don't send them to Life Christian. As a former "lifer" and one of the few student athletes to go on to play D1 sports, and someone who's family has been a large part of the church for 4 generations, I can speak with certainty the trauma this place causes. I've watched it decline more and more since I graduated. The grade level education does not meet the level of education at public schools and especially does not compete with other private schools. Many students who left Life Christian felt under prepared at other schools because of the gap in education. Math and science programs are purposely under funded. The nepotism, rampant misogyny and over sexualization of young women, and unhealthy power dynamics should send any parent running from this institution.

    Update: Since I'm being told I'm making things up, this was…read morefrom the late 90s to early 2000s. Early on, there was a great principal (mr Hayes?) But that changed. I'm not sure if you recall the reason why Mr. B* (censored for privacy, but if you know, you know) was asked to leave as a teacher, but I'll leave those details to you. There's the time Mrs. S* told the girls that we needed to wear makeup because otherwise we wouldn't be pretty enough for anyone to become Christians, or the time that she told a boy that if he needed to pee, he could just hold it by tying a rubber band to his genitals, or something along those lines. I heard that the high school had to change its name after the principal embezzled, or something like that? Whatever the case, the entire school system was absolutely wild and I know multiple people from the school have a bunch of stories of this place as well.

    This school has been fantastic for my kids. My older boy got lost in public schools, with the…read morepublic school, it was like the teacher tried to use a cookie cutter on all the kids. At Concordia, they taught my boy on HIS level. Now, both my children are in the school and they have been fantastic through the COVID-19 crisis. The school provided iPads for all the students. All the teachers met everyday with the kids for half our and once a week privately in Zoom meetings. Although the school is a private school and survives on monthly tuition, they allowed us to stop payments while our business was struggling due to the pandemic. Never once did they harass us about payments or the fact that we had not paid in months. Never once did the teachers treat our kids differently because we had not paid the school. The teachers and staff love all our kids and take very good care of them. They are concerned on a personal level with each student individually and work on tirelessly to help kids on the kids level. Your kid will NOT be cut out in the cookie cutter mold. They will be cared for and nurtured along their path to adulthood. And the review about a male teacher spooning kids from a different post is false. The school has no male teachers at the lower grade levels. Neither the early learning center, which is separate from the school, nor the elementary school have male teachers, so either the reviewer was confused about another school, or spreading rumors.
