Not sure where the other review is coming from as our experience with Cheswick Christian has been nothing but positive. Tried another local "christian" school, very disappointing experience the second year full of unreasonable homework demands, militancy and an unwilingness to discuss a teacher's issues with an open mind. Cheswick Christian not only fills the education requirements, but that of Godly love and understanding. Our daughter is much happier at Cheswick Christian! read more

At CCA, we personally dealt with - and witnessed - judgement, legalism, hypocrisy, favoritism issues, pettiness, a very mentally/emotionally unstable leader on staff and racism. Although, the staff member who made racial comments to my son, did apologize. Students have made racial comments as well and our close friend's daughter dealt with the same issues back when she attended. In addition to all that, we were made aware that there was some type of inappropriate sexual scandal with a teacher and students in the elementary school (my son was in high school). We were considering sending our little ones there too at one point. Nevertheless, some of the comments my son has made while there truly broke my heart. We came to a point where we decided to remove him because it became more and more obvious it was a bad fit all around. While I understand their no-nonsense policy, they are over the top with it and fail to realize it does more damage than good. It's the same with parenting. When you're overly strict but lacking in the love department, you're most likely going to get the opposite result you hoped for once that child is free as an adult. The school is outdated in various ways and doesn't present itself with the level of excellence and professionalism you would expect at a private school. Oh, and if your child sneezes the wrong way, be prepared... it may result in a suspension. I kid you not. There's also a delusion that the girls there are innocent. Even when they do the same (or worse) things that the guys do, it gets let go or justified. We've enrolled my son in therapy after attending here. I gave it two stars instead of one because I did appreciate the prompt communication. We also appreciated the principle's willingness to apologize when he was wrong and pray with/for us. I do believe he is very well-intentioned, but perhaps was raised in that same harsh/sheltered mindset so it resulted in a few blind spots. I know the Lord still had us there for a reason and my prayer is that they really take some time to work on these issues as a whole. We wish them the best. read more
