My experience with Bella Vista Christian Academy was beyond disappointing, and I ultimately removed…read moremy children because of it. The overall environment felt negative and, at times, openly unkind. I witnessed staff speaking to students in ways that were belittling and inappropriate. In one instance, a teacher used name-calling toward students--something that should never happen in any school, especially one that claims to reflect Christian values. Administration was equally frustrating. Concerns from both parents and students were consistently dismissed rather than addressed. Instead of feeling heard, I felt brushed off and judged. During a very difficult time in my personal life, I expected neutrality and professionalism, but instead experienced what felt like bias and a lack of basic understanding. Leadership was particularly concerning. While interactions could appear polite on the surface, the follow-through told a very different story. Decisions felt inconsistent and unfair, making it hard to trust the administration at all. The front office experience made things even worse. Shannon, who is often the first point of contact, was repeatedly rude and unprofessional in my interactions. The tone was unwelcoming and dismissive, which sets a terrible example for both families and students. First impressions matter, and in this case, they reflected a much deeper problem within the school culture. To be fair, not every staff member reflects this environment--Mrs. Quilcy stands out as kind, patient, and genuinely supportive of students. She deserves recognition for the way she treats families. Unfortunately, one positive example does not outweigh the broader issues. For a school that promotes faith and character, the lack of compassion, professionalism, and willingness to listen was deeply disappointing. I cannot recommend this school to families looking for a supportive and respectful environment

The teachers and staff are wonderfully communicative and genuinely work to build strong partnerships with parents. The coursework strikes a great balance--challenging students while still ensuring they fully understand the material.

**"**As a former student who attended this school with my two brothers from 2019 to 2023, our…read moreexperience was incredibly isolating and painful. Within our first few weeks after transferring, my older high school brother was called the N-word by a fellow student. As middle schoolers, my other brother and I had to witness that, while constantly feeling a heavy, quiet hostility from parents who didn't want us to be friends with their kids just because we were among the few Black faces in the room. The students were mostly passive, but the constant microaggressions about my hair and the casual, stereotype-driven biases made it exhausting to just exist there. After George Floyd's murder, the school put on a performance of having conversations about American racism, but it felt empty--they did absolutely nothing to actually protect or support the few Black students they already had. I wouldn't wish the loneliness and anxiety of my time there on anyone. I am profoundly grateful to the few staff members who genuinely cared and tried to protect us after my brother was called a slur. But I fear nothing has truly changed, and I refuse to stay silent while another Black or minority student risks going through the same pain we did. I expect a response to this review, and I am entirely open to a direct dialogue with the superintendent to discuss how the school actually plans to fix this culture.

First they don't allow students to choose their science courses in 9 th grade , instead they require them to take in sequence ( physics, chemistry biology). Then the main science course teachers especially AP Physics and Chemistry honor don't know how to teach. Those teachers don't know how to help students to apply their knowledge and concepts to solve problems, and assign homework on regular basis to help students to reinforce what they learn. My kid and the entire class struggle and stress on these subjects. The administration staff don't care. Students have to watch YouTube to learn it themselves. What is the point of paying high tuition for the teachers can't teach and kids have to look for resources from YouTube themselves!! My kid also mentioned that most of the students in the class cheat but the teachers don't know because too busy in texting or they just don't care. I am thinking to pull my kid out of this school next school year. I don't recommend this school at all . Don't waste your hard earned money !

STUNNING WEDDING VENUE (4.5 stars)…read more My good friend married his beautiful love at this location 08.09.14!!! The property was spacious, the church was beautiful, and to witness the union was incredibly sweet. Mass was given (yay! Don't have to go Sunday). Next to the church opens up to a courtyard which held cocktail hour. Open bar of basic beer, wine, and bubbly were served. Mini appetizers were also served by waitstaff on silver platters. There wasn't much shade and everybody went to the side buildings to save themselves from melting in the scorching sun. In the back was another larger outdoor courtyard where the reception was held. For an "all boys" school the restroom was neutral for the evening. BUT we discovered a (fairly clean) women's restroom near the swimming pools. This gorgeous venue also turns erie at night... Lol especially the kids playground resembling a scary scene from a horror film. We rolled super deep for the wedding and all sat together. And every single one of us were blown away by the setup. Buffet style eats, open bar, pictures and videos, homie deep, and talking about "the years" when we all met each other when I was 19 and here we are in our mid 30s celebrating Jtec's wedding!!!! Time flies, I heart my extended BayArea SPAMilia. The best part of the evening... Everybody gone, staff packing up, we all run to the dancefloor, DJ spinning songs just for us, jamming tunes underneath the cold evening night (drunk), and some jumping into the courtyard fountain!!! CLASSIC. That's was one of the funnest weddings I have ever attended. Can someone get engage and have another wedding here!

What really elevates the school, though, is the administration -- responsive, organized, and clearly committed to making the school the best it can be.

Highly recommended for families looking for a school that blends strong academics with a supportive culture.

They cover spelling, reading, colors, days of the week, etc. they helped my son potty train. since the students are multi cultural, my son gets exposure to all different backgrounds and friends. The new classroom is great and one of the best ones I've seen (they moved from a previous location). The chabot location is a co op school with individual schools, "heads up" compound. kids have a playground right out back with all the toys/bikes. The playground is fenced in. The classroom has a life size play house inside. The kids bathrooms are connected to the classroom, so the kids can go as they please. The whole school is gated up with a code for parents to get In so it's very safe for the kids. Overall, we've been very happy with them and recommend sensing your kids there!

To protect my kids' privacy, I won't say why I pulled my kids. However, in the time that my kids were enrolled, there was a drug bust, lack of Christian character from so many of the kids, bullying, and shockingly, such ungodly behavior. Most of this behavior is from ministers kids. I hate to have to expose this, but not many speak up and instead just turn their heads. The principal does nothing and turns his head to situations that any parent would be ballistic about. Don't waste your money. All schooling is done online. Save your money and protect your kids from the influence.

During this time, the teachers, staff and also chapel services have supported and helped my child through a dark time. Her teachers are on task with her workload. Honestly I can't see my child making it at public high school. Yes there are a small handful of students who don't obey the rules, or do drugs, but that is at every school, Christian or not. This school has christian principles that are taught. Its every students decision if they choose to be a christian. I am saving to send my second child there. The teachers are amazing. They pray over their students classrooms. I am so thankful for this school. My child would not have this support and spiritual aspect from a public high school. The pricing is a money saver. I know a few private schools charge 16 grand for tuition. Thank you to Tim Miller, the principle, the entire faculty and staff of Stockton Christian Academy for the impact you have on my child and our family. Two more of my children are Stockton Christian Academy bound!
