Attended my nephews music concert a few weeks ago on a Friday evening…read more The school administrators never informed the parents & concert-goers ahead of time, that a mandatory entrance fee was being imposed, such as $5 for adults & $2 for children. As far as I knew it was normally a donation based fee. To do such underhanded act is disgusting of a school administration. To top it off, they also charged for beverages, candy & popcorn; why? You already charged a mandatory fee to all visitors, therefore why do such a sneaky underhanded act? It is in the school administrations best interest to inform all parents ahead of time, when any future concerts are held of any fees imposed. I overheard many people complain because some did not have cash handy. If you want parents & families to pay, have a credit/debit card machine to also facilitate those who do not carry cash. I've never seen such tackiness of any school administration & I've visited several in different states.

Im surprised more people havent written reviews about RLCA. I will keep mine short and sweet (as I…read morehave a thing about rambling on). RLCA is one of the best and reasonably priced private schools in the state of Florida. The teachers have an amazing commitment to the students and to the Lord. Both of my children love attending the school and don't miss public school setting one bit. Dr. Long, the headmaster, is a witty, intelligent and funny person and really wants what is best for his students. If you are even just thinking about RLCA for your kids, I would highly suggest it.

My 7-year-old daughter attended Real Life "Christian" Academy for two years. During that time, she…read morewas a respectful student with good grades and no disciplinary issues. She was kicked out innocently due to this below. The conflict began after I preached the Gospel outside the entrance of Gatorland before a school field trip. I recorded a video and posted it on social media. According to the school, students from another school may have appeared in the background. Dean Dawn contacted me and demanded that I remove the video from my social media accounts. I declined, believing I was exercising my constitutional freedoms of speech and religion. An elder from the school later became involved and also requested a meeting regarding the video, which I declined. The family then spent months trying to preserve my daughter's enrollment. Eventually, I removed the video in an effort to resolve the matter. However, I was then presented with restrictions that I felt were unreasonable. I was told I would only be permitted on campus for drop-off and pick-up, and that attendance at events, ceremonies, and other public parent activities involving my daughter would require prior authorization. I informed the school that I would not attend field trips, would not preach, film, or pray for students on campus, and would respect those boundaries. During a meeting, I was also told that one concern was that I had prayed for students on campus. As a parent at a Christian school, I found that surprising. This experience left me questioning what biblical principles the school follows. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." As a Christian, I take that command seriously. Another disappointment came during my daughter's elementary ceremony, where students performed songs from The Greatest Showman. Not one song was Christian, and not one song was focused on God. For a school that identifies itself as Christian, I expected faith to be more evident in its activities and culture. Based on my family's experience, I cannot recommend this school to families seeking a Christ-centered education. We found the environment to be far more aligned with worldly values than with the biblical convictions we expected from a Christian institution. I wouldn't even say they are lukewarm. I would say they are worldly. You might as well send your children to public school--it's practically the same thing. Just add a few Bible classes, and now they can call themselves "Christian" while charging outrageous amounts of money. One more thing: they changed the school uniforms three times and did not reimburse families for the unused uniforms they had already purchased. They also required families to purchase a specific black jacket from a company that embroidered the Real Life logo on it. The company went out of business, and many families never received their jackets, including myself. Yet families still had to pay $65 and were never reimbursed, nor did their children receive the jackets they paid for. And since they unjustly removed my daughter from the school, I requested a refund of the registration fee I had already paid for next year. Can you believe they emailed me back saying they needed to send the request to leadership? Are you kidding me?

There's been multiple cases about multiple teachers and the administrator don't do anything. When you report a teacher they use it against you instead of helping you. If your son or daughter is going to report a teacher please be there, by there side because they will use everything against you. What im trying to say is look out for everything cause this school is stricter about mostly everything.

It's interesting how I recognize some of those bad reviewers, they are the ones who got in trouble…read morea lot and are now butt hurt. Chrissy down there failed her drug test and would say how it not fair she got suspended. This is a private school, you have to sign a contract signing away some of your rights. Know that most of the bad reviews are from people upset that they got caught breaking the rules. In the end they will see how much good it did them to be told no. I was a rebellious child when I came to this school. I got in trouble a lot, they were considering kicking me out. But wow the 3 years I spent here changed my life profoundly. They helped me become the person I am today. Growing up is never easy but at Montverde they push you right where you need to be pushed. At the same time they have so many teachers and guidance counselor that actually care about the students. I never ever felt alone at MVA someone was always there to help me. No school is perfect and if that's what you're looking for you will never find it. MVA is very focused on its athletic program and many call for them to focus more on academics. Compare MVA to all Florida school (private and public etc) you see that they are actually doing very well. Florida is not the state you should be sending your kids for stellar academics. It is the package that really sells MVA. Academics, athletics and a staff that cares all under the Florida sun!
