I am writing this as a deeply concerned parent to urge others to look elsewhere. While Countryside…read moreChristian Academy presents itself as a supportive environment, our experience was defined by academic neglect and a complete lack of accountability from the staff. Subpar Education The curriculum is shockingly weak. The school seems to prioritize busy work over actual learning, leaving students ill-prepared for future academic challenges. We found the coursework outdated and noticed a significant gap between the high grades being handed out and our child's actual grasp of the material. It feels less like an educational institution and more like they are just passing kids through the system. Unprofessional Staff and Poor Problem-Solving The biggest issue, however, is the faculty. When we approached teachers and administration with concerns, we were met with indifference and deflection. Problems are not solved here; they are ignored. Whether it was an academic struggle or a classroom conflict, the staff consistently failed to take action, often leaving emails unanswered or making empty promises that never led to change. Final Verdict There is a total lack of transparency and leadership at this school. If you want an environment where your child is challenged academically and supported by staff who actually care about resolving issues, CCA is not the place. We deeply regret the time our child spent here and strongly suggest finding a school that actually values its students' growth.

Personalized tutoring available. The Head of the school Mr. Jim Zwers, Dean Sikica Feldman, Elly Lago and the rest of the Staff go beyond the ordinary to make sure all students are happy, learning and having the best school experience ever. The school is very supportive of the personal goals of each student, guiding them in that direction so they can accomplish their goals. My granddaughters have learned not only academics but social skills and athletic training with the Knights cheerleading team. The holistic approach to education of CAI is brilliant preparing these students for life becoming the best version of themselves, ready to be successful in our society and contributing as a member of a group. I highly recommend this school.

I love this school. I love that she's in a space that demands so much from her. Not only…read moreacademically, but with her cheer squad as well. My daughter runs on a pretty intense schedule and to me that is a very high plus point. In the adult world where you have big dreams and goals, you need to be set up with education, discipline and persistence. You need to know how to be part of a group and a team member. I truly believe that this school will set her up in life. And I have to give a shout out to Julie the cheer coach. She has a huge job. I see that. But what she's providing to these girls is a a wonderful activity where they are winning. My daughter is so proud to show me her routine as she learns, she's so proud to have her cheer uniform and is sooooo excited to perform. As a mother it fills me with utter joy to dress her up and watch her perform. I'm so thankful that the school and its staff are all there creating this environment. And as far as the previous negative review. It is old and nothing like what I experience. Moving here from California, I needed fast response and assistance in getting my kids enrolled. The school staff were there for me. I needed something addressed, I waiting less than 5 minutes to speak with the Dean directly. My daughter takes flowers from home to her teacher and that to me is a great indicator she's happy.

In addition, I have never been much of a fan of the principal, Lisa Roth. Her demeanor has always rubbed me the wrong way as it is generally condescending. It has also been very disappointing that the school did not bother to hold the annual 5th grade trip to Washington D.C. which is something most children in elementary school greatly look forward to, our granddaughter being no exception. The school did not even bother letting parents know, we only found out ourselves when we inquired as to when the fundraising for it would begin. I will be very glad when my granddaughter is through attending this school. Thankfully she is finally a 5th grader and on her way out.
