This is the CMS language academy I selected for my third child. She has attended Oaklawn since…read moreKindergarten. My two older girls attended Bruns Avenue Magnet (Year round and German programs) and moved with the program to Smith Language Academy. The location of Smith is just too far so we opted for Oaklawn. I have enjoyed the school because of the primarily small classroom sizes. The teachers tend to come and go, as I am sure they do at many other schools. We have also had three principals in her 7 years there. However, we are sticking with the program because the grass is not always greener on the other side.

I can say nothing bad about Northwest, every teacher she has had has been excellent. I'm so thankful that Alex has had the chance to learn her craft at such a great school and in a learning environment that stresses creativity. Thank you NWSA!

I have been traveling to and from NWSA for over a year now. The process for student pickup and…read moredropoff for early dismissal works very well. You must ring the bell for entry during the school day, a good safety mechanism for all. Parking, however, can be tricky, especially when you want to pick up a student during the day. There are limited few spaces near the front of the school while the entrances from Beatties Ford Road are blocked (administrative, front-office staff only). This is a pain when I have to park in the back on the side, or all the way in the back parking lot where you must walk to the front to pick up the student. This unappealing scenario is a pain, esp. when it is raining or cold. I hope a better solution is being sought as I specifically try NOT to have to visit the school during the day. I will say, though, that when the school has a program, or parent function, they start on time. Thank you for that!
