We were going to start our first grader at Mobile Christian this year. She is athletic and received the highest possible grades for kindergarten. She received a character award from her school and an award for "best demonstrating Christian values" from her previous class.
Hours before orientation, the elementary principal, Ms. Curry, called to say that she was rejected. We were stunned. We attend church every Sunday. My father was a deacon and my grandfather was a preacher.
I asked if there was a problem with the classes being too full and was told no. I asked why my daughter had been rejected, and Ms. Curry said that she, "couldn't say". When I pressed the issue, she became agitated and cut me off, saying that she wouldn't tell me. I asked who would tell me and was told Headmaster David. When I asked to speak to him, Ms. Curry scoffed and said he was busy and would remain busy and I should, "try leaving a message with the front desk"
When we finally managed to get ahold of the headmaster, he was faltering and unable to give a reason, eventually stating that it was "against policy" to say anything.
Email attempts have gone completely ignored and attempts to visit in person are always greeted with a cordial, "he's too busy to see you."
Ultimately, we believe that we were not the "mold" of aristocracy that Mobile Christian likes to put forth.
I would never recommend this school to anyone. Any school that rejects a qualified six year old seeking a Christian education without reason is clearly not as "Christian" as they claim. read more
