    My experience at Calvary Christian Academy has been extremely disappointing. I've attended CCA…read moresince I was 18 months old and I've seen it all. While the school presents itself as caring and faith-centered, many teachers and administrators create an environment that feels judgmental and discouraging. Several teachers make rude or sarcastic comments toward students. Mr. Picon often makes snarky remarks and argues with students in an unprofessional way. Mrs. Rodriguez has also made passive-aggressive comments, including responding sarcastically when students are confused. Many students complain about how discouraging she can be. Mrs. Beal is also known for profiling students based on one mistake and continuing to treat them differently afterward. Students feel that she gossips about them with other teachers and administrators instead of handling situations professionally. She frequently walks the halls looking for minor uniform or dress code violations, such as rolled skirts, AirPods, lanyards, or even students wearing the "wrong" shirt on certain days. When confronted, she often comes across as rude and judgmental and does not show the grace or understanding that the school claims to value, despite constantly referring students back to the handbook. Mrs. Shawver is also difficult for many students to approach because of her rude, snappy attitude and the way she speaks to students. Mr. Amadeo frequently pushes his personal political beliefs onto students, even during biblical discussions where politics should not be the focus. He often presents his personal opinions as completely correct because "the Bible says so" and makes students feel unintelligent for questioning or disagreeing with him. Students have felt embarrassed in front of the class after being called "stupid" and "an idiot" for thinking that way and treated like their opinions were worthless for simply challenging a point or asking questions. Some staff members seem more focused on catching students doing wrong than helping them. Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Cole are known for strict dress code enforcement and often come across as judgmental when disciplining students. Some punishments also feel humiliating rather than helpful. There have been reports of inappropriate comments from staff, including Mrs. Cole calling girls "sluts" for rolling their skirts. Mr. Peters, one of the vice principals, often makes students feel intimidated rather than supported. Mr. Purtic makes some students uncomfortable by discussing personal topics too often and showing favoritism. Coach Leighton has also asked students overly personal questions that felt inappropriate. Overall, the environment at Calvary feels overly judgmental. Students often feel constantly watched, even outside of school, and there are concerns about administrators monitoring students' social media activity. The administration's handling of sensitive situations can also feel humiliating instead of supportive. Students are sometimes punished without clear explanations beyond being told to "refer to the handbook." As a Christian school, faith is emphasized, but students who struggle with faith or ask questions can sometimes feel judged instead of encouraged. Staff members also tend to involve themselves heavily in students' personal lives. There has also been a noticeable decline in student satisfaction, with many students wanting to transfer or leave the school. The school also places extremely high expectations on teenagers while reacting harshly when students make normal teenage mistakes. Instead of helping students grow or learn from situations, many students feel dehumanized, judged, and labeled for small things. The constant pressure, monitoring, and fear of punishment becomes emotionally exhausting and can seriously affect students' mental health. Rather than encouraging a genuine relationship with God, the environment often makes faith feel forced, performative, and connected to fear or shame instead of support, understanding, and personal growth. Overall, Calvary Christian Academy made me feel judged and uncomfortable rather than supported academically, socially, or spiritually. As much as this school stresses grace they never show it nor practice it and highly encourages snitching. In my opinion, it may be a good school for younger students, but I would not recommend it for middle or high school.

    Admission process is not regulated properly. They collected an application fee and told me we had…read moretill the end of summer to bring all the records. The admissions person is annoying to say the least, few weeks after applying she emailed saying the application was closed. I still did not have time to collect the records since the year has not closed yet. I would like a refund but of course she didn't reply ( this is for Hollywood location)!

Mrs. Rush is such a gift to the school and it's so incredible to see the confidence, expression and courage she brings out in the students. Magic lives in her classroom and it really came to life this morning. This is yet another reason why we are so grateful to have our children at Sagemont.

    Sagemont is truly an exceptional school, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. My daughter has been a…read morestudent since Pre-K3, and enrolling her has been one of the best decisions we've made. The curriculum is well-rounded and academically strong, but what makes the school special is the people. From the leadership--Miss Vigna, the Director, and Miss Caceres, the Assistant Director--to the ever-welcoming Miss Blanca Herrera at the front desk, the staff create a caring and supportive environment. The teachers are outstanding and go above and beyond with the children. We had a wonderful experience with Mrs. Hartstone and Miss Adriana in Pre-K3, followed by Miss Calderon and Miss Souza in Pre-K4. Sagemont also offers excellent specialty teachers, such as Miss Ross for music and Miss Rendon and Miss Vass for Spanish, enriching the children's education even further. For any parent seeking a safe, nurturing environment and top-quality education, Sagemont is the best place to be.

    I've had the opportunity to attend plays and other functions at Saint Andrews this past year. Very…read morebig campus with lots to do and smallish student/teacher ratio. I say that because I attended a public school system in New Jersey. 98%-99% of my student body went on to college, so I can't complain about my educational experience. This is the first experience I've had with a private school system and it was nice. They offered the students a diverse educational experience as well as after-school activities. Along with strong parental support, I'm sure all the students will do fine in life.

    My girlfriend had a dreadful employment experience with Saint Andrews School. She was recruited out…read moreof Charlotte where they moved her down and had her start employment. After starting her onboarding and getting her keys, id, computer, etc., they fired her 10 days later telling her that she flunked her drug test with a THC content of 15 ng/ml, less than the minimum federal standard of 50 ng/ml. The funny thing is the lab had called her a week before she started working and the lab said they would send the results to the school that day. She called the school the following day and they said everything was okay. The weird thing is she attended a diversity training seminar the day before she was fired and stated her modestly liberal opinion. When HR called her the next day, they said it was the failed drug test that got her fired. Why did they hold on to the drug test so long, and why did they onboard her? They told her to reapply and she would be given a chance to take a drug test, but that was a lie, and they have hired someone else. Talking to attornies now as I am left holding the bad on her expenses.
