She helped a black child who was struggling with a backpack over his winter coat. Then, she did the laughing "chilly" dance with another much younger black child, perhaps a kindergartener or first grader, who was racing inside to escape the cold. Mrs. Deruki greeted two Asian sisters on their way in the front door and waved at a group of Hispanic siblings trekking down the sidewalk. Everyone was smiling, children and adults alike. As I witnessed all this from my car, I couldn't help but think about the review complaining about NDA's lack of diversity. This is not an all white school like so many other private schools in Georgia. In my child's class alone, there are Hispanic families, Asian families, mixed race families, and black families. I want my child in a school that welcomes all races and ethnicities, and honestly, that has been my experience at NDA. I cannot speak for other parents who may feel differently, and I feel sad for the mom who felt like her daughter's needs were not met. But, there must be more to that story that was not shared here on Yelp. My fear is that negative reviews calling NDA racist will scare away the very families that NDA wants to welcome to its community. Please don't be afraid. My daughter's experience at NDA has been wonderful. The academics are rigorous and the expectations are high. She has not loved every single teacher, but some teachers are adored, deeply. And that's life, isn't it? Persevere, learn, grow. Notre Dame Academy is not a perfect fit for every student, but my Colombian American daughter loves it, and she is thriving.

I take my child there and I love the place but I see that the employees need help. Their should be 2 teacher in each room instead of one or at least a part time helper in each room. Who ever the owner of this company need to invest in their employees. I have seen good employees leave because they don't feel appreciate. Over work and under paid. They get a 5 star for staff but a 3 star because they need help!

I feel like the prices are more reasonable then other daycares around. I also love that they've implemented a self pay station so you don't have to wait for a staff member to take your payment. My bills are loaded on the system accurately and I can simply go and pay and email myself a receipt. They also provide great communication of changes and updates. I will keep my baby here until she's big enough to stay home herself. I'm a very happy parent :).

We have two children that started going to PCS in first grade and graduated after the eighth grade…read more I cannot even begin to describe the positive impact this school has had on our family. My daughter had to get up in front of a large class at UGA this week and was totally at ease because of all the poetry recitals they had at Perimeter. She also talked about how comfortable she is speaking to and interacting with adults because of the large presence of the parents at PCS. As parents, the school helped us focus on the hearts of our children. We got to be part of a community where we all looked out for each other's kids. Being part of a covenant community was a wonderful part of raising our kids. Our children received a wonderful foundation and were taught by teachers that love the Lord and shared this love with our kids. Our kids learned scripture and can defend their faith. They were also challenged academically and have continued to thrive academically since graduating from PCS. I'm so thankful we decided to send our kids to PCS.

I attended Perimeter Christian School from 4th through 8th grade, and I believe prospective parents…read moredeserve to hear about my experience before making a decision about whether to enroll their children. One incident that has stayed with me occurred when I was in 7th grade. During a class taught by Ken DeMaris, I referred to then-President Barack Obama simply as "Obama." Mr. DeMaris became very upset and told me I was being disrespectful by not calling him "President Obama." He instructed me to leave the classroom for the remainder of the period. As I was preparing to leave, I asked whether I should take my binder with me. Mr. DeMaris responded by throwing the binder directly at me. As I was not expecting violence from a teacher, and he was within arms length of me, i was caught off guard and the binder struck me in the face, causing my mouth to bleed. I immediately went to the office of Principal Mary Hubbard. Instead of expressing concern about what had happened, her response was immediately, "I'm sure he had a reason.". I think it is important to highlight that this was not a playful toss, it was a forceful throw with visible anger behind it. As an 11 year old student standing in the office with blood dripping down my chin from my mouth, that response left a lasting impression on me. What troubled me most was not only the incident itself, but the apparent willingness and haste of school leadership to excuse it. A second incident involved the school's PE teacher, Patrick Mullrennan. After I and two other students sang the national anthem before a school volleyball game, Mr. Mullrennan concluded that our performance was disrespectful to the United States, claiming , "during the performance the boys were sticking their fingers in each others rear ends", despite not a single witness/attendee corroborating his story. Within moments of finishing, he pulled us aside, grabbed me by the neck, physically restrained us, and began yelling at us (I am proud to say I truly gave the best performance I could and have never and will never directly disrespect the United States in that way, but there was absolutely no way of reasoning with Patrick). Another experience that I believe parents should know about was an event the school called "Slave Day" when I was in 5th grade. The stated purpose was to teach students what slavery was like before emancipation. Parents volunteered to act as "slave masters" alongside teachers, and students were subjected to verbal and physical abuse throughout the day. During the event, Mr. Mullrennan pushed me to the ground while shouting, "What are you looking at, slave?" Looking back, I find the entire concept deeply inappropriate and disturbing, especially coming from people who are supposed to be examples of Godly leaders. I am sharing these experiences because they had a profound impact on me. Rather than seeing Christian values modeled through humility, compassion, accountability, and grace, I often felt I was witnessing authoritarianism exercised through intimidation and humiliation. Those experiences played a significant role in causing me to question both the institution and the faith it claimed to represent. At the same time, I want to acknowledge one individual who left a positive and lasting impression on me: Clint Fisher. To this day, he remains one of the best examples of humility, integrity, and genuine Christian character that I have encountered. He consistently treated students with respect and kindness and demonstrated the values that I believe a Christian school should strive to embody. In many ways, he stood as a bright light in stark contrast to the darkness embodied by so many of the teachers and leaders, and I remain grateful for his influence. This review reflects my personal experience as a student. I encourage parents to conduct their own research, speak with former students, and ask detailed questions about school culture, accountability, and how student concerns are handled before making a decision.

I was a loyal family with this daycare for three years and always paid tuition on time and in full…read more Unfortunately, my experience at the end has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I have not received my deposit, which has been owed to me since August. The daycare has cited bankruptcy as the reason, but since then there has been little to no communication, no updates on the status of my funds, and I have essentially been ignored whenever I follow up. After doing some research, I learned that I am not the only one affected. Other families have also not received their deposits, and there are even teachers who have not been paid. This raises serious concerns about how the situation has been handled. It is incredibly frustrating and disheartening to be treated this way after years of loyalty and reliability. If you are considering enrolling your child here, proceed with extreme caution. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise against trusting your money--or your peace of mind--with a business that is clearly struggling and failing to communicate or take responsibility. Do not sign up with this daycare.

The Montessori approach here is outstanding--our child is not only learning academically but also developing independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. The classrooms are beautifully set up, safe, and full of engaging materials that spark curiosity. Communication with the staff is excellent; they keep us updated and are always responsive to our questions. It's clear they put the children first in everything they do. My granddaughter looks forward to going every day, which says it all. We are so grateful to have found this school and highly recommend Guidepost Montessori Duluth to any family looking for a supportive, enriching, and joyful environment for their little one. ~NKelly

I was bullied terribly, but that's to be expected at any school unfortunately. What made Wesleyan different is the teachers actively participated in the bullying. From slurs referring to me being gay to smirking at me while I cried in the back of their classrooms, to always being the butt of their jokes, they did it all. It was a dark time, and they actively worked to make sure I knew I wasn't cared about.
