We enrolled our 4 yrs old daughter in-person for K-4 at Canterbury Christian School since 2021…read moreJanuary. In this half year, overall we are very grateful for the classical Christian education that our daughter has received at CCS. We identified that our daughter has learned a LOT since she joined the school. Mrs. Vijay is a caring and faithful teacher. Our daughter probably is the youngest student at the class and she didn't speak much English when started. As parents, we were a little worried about if she could catch the level and pace of the class. But with Mrs. Vijay's teaching and guidance, our daughter didn't have much problem to get used to the school life. CCS teaches authentic Christian values and tries to help students to know God in everything that they study. My daughter nowadays often sings Christian hymns at home or while our family walking / hiking. We can tell that our daughter's world view and values have been shaped at CCS. Too sad that we have to relocate to another state so we have to leave CCS. But we highly recommend CCS based on our 6 months experience. Before we send our daughter to CCS, we did hear the comments about the CCS new admin team. First of all, we visited the open house of the school and met Father Macias and Mrs. Macias and Mrs. Vijay. What we care the most is the authentic Christian faith and values. We think the CCS is providing that. Different organizations might have different rules and different leaders might have different perspectives or styles. Those things we cannot control. After prayers, we decided to give a try. Our feedback is we didn't experience the issues that we heard before. For example, we heard the communication problem but we appreciate the proactive communication either through weekly newsletter or occasionally in-person / email communication specific about our kid. So again, based on our 6 month experience at CCS K-4, we highly recommend CCS!

Distant learning have been a challenge especially in the middle of moving from one State to another but we were able to manage it! From another teachers standpoint, I know that Miss Quilici and Mr. Goodwin sincerely cared for my children. All of the Pre-K teachers were compassionate and caring for when one of my sons was in their class. Miss Maria most especially became my sons favorite in Pre-K. Mrs. McCarthy and Ms. Goodwin were awesome. Miss Quilici worked so hard to make sure learning doesn't stop in the middle of this pandemic. She was very helpful and listened to every possible question I would have throughout the year. She communicated very well. My son loves her. Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Schmidt made sure my older son was ready for Middle School. They both taught him to be independent. Mr. G continued to encourage my son to his full potential in Middle school. My son felt most comfortable with him. He enjoyed being in his class. Pam in the office is awesome. She is very helpful and kind. Thank You Bella Vista. My boys learned well academically and most of all, they learned more about God's Love. We wish the school, the teachers and staff the best and We are forever Grateful!

My experience with Bella Vista Christian Academy was beyond disappointing, and I ultimately removed…read moremy children because of it. The overall environment felt negative and, at times, openly unkind. I witnessed staff speaking to students in ways that were belittling and inappropriate. In one instance, a teacher used name-calling toward students--something that should never happen in any school, especially one that claims to reflect Christian values. Administration was equally frustrating. Concerns from both parents and students were consistently dismissed rather than addressed. Instead of feeling heard, I felt brushed off and judged. During a very difficult time in my personal life, I expected neutrality and professionalism, but instead experienced what felt like bias and a lack of basic understanding. Leadership was particularly concerning. While interactions could appear polite on the surface, the follow-through told a very different story. Decisions felt inconsistent and unfair, making it hard to trust the administration at all. The front office experience made things even worse. Shannon, who is often the first point of contact, was repeatedly rude and unprofessional in my interactions. The tone was unwelcoming and dismissive, which sets a terrible example for both families and students. First impressions matter, and in this case, they reflected a much deeper problem within the school culture. To be fair, not every staff member reflects this environment--Mrs. Quilcy stands out as kind, patient, and genuinely supportive of students. She deserves recognition for the way she treats families. Unfortunately, one positive example does not outweigh the broader issues. For a school that promotes faith and character, the lack of compassion, professionalism, and willingness to listen was deeply disappointing. I cannot recommend this school to families looking for a supportive and respectful environment

Within our first few weeks after transferring, my older high school brother was called the N-word by a fellow student. As middle schoolers, my other brother and I had to witness that, while constantly feeling a heavy, quiet hostility from parents who didn't want us to be friends with their kids just because we were among the few Black faces in the room. The students were mostly passive, but the constant microaggressions about my hair and the casual, stereotype-driven biases made it exhausting to just exist there. After George Floyd's murder, the school put on a performance of having conversations about American racism, but it felt empty--they did absolutely nothing to actually protect or support the few Black students they already had. I wouldn't wish the loneliness and anxiety of my time there on anyone. I am profoundly grateful to the few staff members who genuinely cared and tried to protect us after my brother was called a slur. But I fear nothing has truly changed, and I refuse to stay silent while another Black or minority student risks going through the same pain we did. I expect a response to this review, and I am entirely open to a direct dialogue with the superintendent to discuss how the school actually plans to fix this culture.
