Half of the kids smoke weed in the bathrooms and cheat on all of the assignments, there is absolutely nothing in place to hold back the children who need to be held back. Good luck if you want your kid to have a good highschool experience because you won't find that here.

My family LOVES Turtle Tots. This is not your average baby mill. The classes are small, the…read moreteachers are reliable with low turnover, and the attitude of the staff is amazing and positive. After looking at several daycares in the area, I chose this one for my daughter who is in the infant class because: The class size for infants is capped at 4. This means that she will never be in a room with 8 babies and one teacher (out of compliance with state codes). The caregivers really care. They are consistent and I haven't seen them ever play favorites. I never worry about my kiddo's well-being. The facility is always clean and well-kempt. The cleaning products are all-organic (which is nice, not a huge sell for me as I use regular stuff at my home, but for some it is important). If I have called the facility, the phones are answered promptly. My questions are always answered courteously, and no one seems rushed. Overall, this is a great facility and I didn't even remember to call them to check on my baby her first day there, which I think says a lot about the facility. You get peace of mind here. My daughter loves going into the building in the mornings. She smiles as soon as she sees her teacher, and is always happy to transfer arms. No tears, ever! I highly recommend this daycare, and have told several co-workers about it for their children.

We stopped by Flagler College while visiting St. Augustine and honestly it's worth a walk around…read more The grounds are really well kept and pretty to just stroll through. The standout is definitely the main dome building inside. The interior is genuinely stunning, like the kind of place that makes you feel like you're in Europe somewhere rather than Florida. We were not expecting that at all. We also happened to walk through the quad right as some kind of dunk tank event was going on where students were getting people to pay to try to dunk faculty members. We had no idea what was going on but we stopped and watched for a while because how could you not? If you're already in St. Augustine it's an easy and free thing to add to your day. Just walk around, admire the beauty, and hope you get lucky enough to catch something fun happening on campus like we did.

Veritas Classical School, St. Augustine, FL…read more When God speaks, we listen. That's what led our family to uproot our lives in Southwest Florida and move to St. Augustine -- not for a job, not for retirement dreams, but for a school. Veritas Classical School wasn't just an option; it was a calling. And from the moment our daughter walked through their doors, we knew we had followed His voice to exactly the right place. Our daughter recently graduated from Veritas after attending for just two years, in 11th and 12th grade. If we could go back in time, our only regret would be not enrolling her sooner. The growth we saw in her--spiritually, academically, and personally--was nothing short of extraordinary. Veritas helped shape her into a confident, compassionate young woman grounded in biblical truth. The richness of a classical education, interwoven with a deep reverence for Scripture, provided a foundation that no other school we'd experienced could offer. This was not our first venture into Christian education. We had enrolled her previously in a Baptist Christian school, which, while well-meaning, simply didn't compare. Veritas stands apart in the way it fully integrates a Christ-centered worldview across every subject and activity. It's not just about learning about God--it's about learning through God's lens. One of the most beautiful aspects of Veritas is how welcoming the community is across denominations. While rooted in a strong biblical foundation, the school joyfully welcomes students from various Christian traditions. Our daughter studied alongside Baptist, Episcopalian, and even Catholic classmates. There is a genuine spirit of unity in Christ, and students are encouraged to grow in their personal walk with the Lord while learning how to think critically and live faithfully. From the moment we connected with the leadership, including the Head Principal and the Rhetoric Principal, to our daily interactions with teachers and staff, we felt enveloped in a community that genuinely loves their students. Their hearts are tender, their expectations are high, and their desire to see students walk in God's grace is clear in all they do. The classical model demands rigor, but at Veritas, it's paired with deep encouragement and discipleship. One of the crowning testimonies to Veritas' impact is that our daughter was accepted into Liberty University--a dream come true for her, and a path we truly believe would not have opened without the excellence, guidance, and spiritual formation she received at Veritas. No school is perfect, and if we were to offer one area for growth, it would be communication. At times, there were gaps that made it hard to stay fully informed as parents. But even with that said, the integrity, love, and mission of this school overshadowed any logistical shortcomings. Veritas Classical School isn't just a place of learning; it's a place of becoming--becoming who God created you to be. We will forever be grateful for the role this school played in our daughter's life and in our family's journey of faith. We walked in as hopeful parents. We left as firm believers in the mission of Christian classical education when it's done with conviction, excellence, and, above all, the love of Christ. If God is nudging your heart toward Veritas, don't hesitate. Listen, obey, and watch Him move. -- A Thankful Parent Class of 2025 Graduate Family St. Augustine, FL
