We enrolled at North Valley Christian Academy expecting a Christ-centered environment built on…read moretrust, transparency, and partnership with parents. Our experience was the complete opposite. Our primary concern is student privacy and administrative overreach. During our time at NVCA, we witnessed: * Private student conversations being overheard and later referenced by administrators * A lack of respect for parent involvement when our child was emotionally distressed * A troubling culture of surveillance and control rather than trust and care In addition to these issues, we raised multiple safeguarding and conduct concerns to administration that were never meaningfully addressed, including: * Coaches speaking to teenage girls in demeaning and derogatory ways * Inappropriate one-on-one conversations during athletic evaluations unrelated to performance * A coach refused to let our daugher leave a room for 10 minutes against her will and pleas for her parents * Requests for written policies governing athletics, discipline, and parental communication that were never provided The most alarming incident occurred after our daughter resigned from cheer due to how she was being treated. Principal Jason Mitchell hired someone to locate and secretly video record our minor child at a weekend club volleyball tournament -- off campus, outside of school hours, without our knowledge or consent. (Chris Schoenleb, Head of School denies this despite the email from Jason Mitchell being attached to this review and he was cc'd on the original email). This had nothing to do with safety, academics, or behavior. It was clearly used to justify a decision that had already been made. Our daughter had no disciplinary record, no probation, and was never warned her enrollment was at risk. Despite this, the school later discussed our family via email to all 800+ NVCA Families while refusing to identify any written policy we allegedly violated or responding to us. Since then, NVCA has implemented policies locking students' phones in Yondr bags throughout the school day, preventing private parent-child communication. Given our experience, this raises serious concerns about control versus care. Also, random drug testing is common and done without parental notification and consent by Jason Mitchell. We are sharing this so other parents -- especially those expecting integrity from a Christian school -- will ask questions, request written policies, and fully understand the culture they are placing their children into. Our family did not leave quietly because what happened should never happen to another child.

Education is very important to me. My son was attending a public school in the area and not long…read moreafter he started, he exhibited behaviors that just weren't in line with his personality. I am SO happy I found the Caepe school. The head of the school has devoted her life to education and really tailoring it to the individual student. My son (7) is in the grade appropriate for his ability in each area. No "one size fits all." the staff is hand selected and simply outstanding. If you're looking for an "out of the box" private school, this one is it. I would easily consider an hour drive to take my kids here. They also follow the most rigorous educational standards set by the Educational Record Bureau. Higher than is currently adopted by AZ public schools.
