All teachers and staff are there to pray for and encourage your child every step of the way. It's awesome to have such a caring extension of our Christian principals being taught at this school. The teachers that are called to teach at a Christian school are very special people in my eyes. I'm certain they can find another teaching job that pays twice as much in the public school system and they feel led to work at NBCA. I always pray that God would bless each and everyone of them for following their calling. Definitely worth the investment for our kids.

This school has been just what our family needed, as new residents of the area. The academic curriculum is both challenging and age-appropriate. I am constantly amazed by what my children are learning in school, but they're also having fun! The teachers and staff are loving and dedicated to enriching our children's lives. For this staff of educators, it's more than just a job...it's a calling and a ministry and they give so much of themselves on a daily basis. And lastly, the families...so many wonderful parents and kids at this school. I love that the parents are both encouraged, and welcomed, to be involved and present in their children's educations. NBCA is a family...one that we're blessed and so happy to belong to.

So after 5 years at GDA, it came time for our family to think about the direction of education we…read morefelt was appropriate for our household. When we first start at GDA, Jamie King was the head of school. We loved her and were very sad to see her leave. I loved the curriculum, the fact that cursive was taught in kindergarten and Latin was taught in 1st grade and 2nd grade if I am remembering correctly. I also loved that I had a set of books at home so I could follow the curriculum as close a possible to the way the teacher was teaching for home days. Unfortunately the parent involvement demands for GDA no longer worked for us. Also, not having a full 5 days a week with a teacher for routine for my student was not beneficial. When we started comparing private schools in the local community, I made a pros and cons list of why we should stay at GDA and why another school might be a better fit for us. GDA has grown a little since we have left and now that TEFA has been implemented, I'm sure the number of students will grow. I suggest when you look for a school, regardless if it is public or private, take a tour of the campus, ask families of current students and alumni their opinion. Take people's reviews on Yelp, Facebook, and Google with a grain of salt. Also reach out to them and ask them if their student is still at the school AND did this student graduate from that school the reviewer is praising. You will surprised at how many people give schools 5 stars and left the school for a different school. Somethings may have changed since I created my list, but here is part of my list for GDA that I used to decide to stay or go to a different school: -GDA: Established 2012 -The tuition and fees are from 3-4 years ago, so this info is incorrect. Tuition: $5,580 yr/$465 mo Enrollment Fee: $425 Reenrollment Fee: $275 Application Fee: $150 Discounts: Pioneer Family discount $400 annual (10.75%). 3+ student discount. -Financial Aid: Yes. ACE Scholarship (and now TEFA). -Acceptance notification: Via Email. 7 days to accept/deny. -Special Needs Program: No. -School schedule: K-6th- 2 days in class; 2 days homeschool -Lunch & Snacks: Must bring lunch/snacks & water bottle. -Cafeteria: No. Refurbished and broken picnic tables. -Lunch Time: 12 PM - 12:30 PM -School Dress Code: Uniform. Red/BLK/GRY Uniform Cost: $50 - $100. Land's End/Speckled Goats/Other School Supplies: Must Purchase. Approx. $300-$500 -Textbooks: Must purchase, hard to find. -Textbook Cost: See above. -Curriculum: Classical, but outdated. -After School Program: None -After School Program Fee: None -Bus to/from school: No. Must pay daycare for P/U if I cannot pick up student. -Academic Calendar: August - May -School Hours: 8:15 AM - 3:30 PM -Parent Volunteer Hours: Required 20 per yr or $25 per hr -Devotions/Chapel time: Use Riverside Church. (I don't think this is correct anymore). -Chapel Attire: No longer implemented. Regular uniform for chapel days. -Gym: No. -PK3- 2nd Grade: Separate School House. -Kinder Nap Time: No. -3rd Grade - 12 grade: Renting Classrooms. (I believe there are new buildings for some of the classrooms that were purchased). -PTA: No. 2 tries and ended. Was called the Lion's Den. -Apps: Track It Forward and GroupMe. -Software Programs: RenWeb/FACTS -Payment Program: FACTS/Nelnet -Summer Camp(s): Yes. -Sports: Yes. And if you are curious about if we stayed or left; we left. Even with the fact we were considered a "Pioneer family". This title was reserved for families that enrolled students when GDA was founded and I think up to 5 years of the school opening. We are much happier with a 5 day a week school even though it was more expensive and we lost our special "Pioneer Family" discount. GDA is for the mom who wants to homeschool but likes the organization of a private school; and it's great to have a real teacher 2 days a week to help with teaching.

A significant portion of each session was spent playing games or socializing instead of working on math. While I understand that breaks and engagement activities have their place, I was paying for academic instruction--not extended playtime. My children have plenty of opportunities for recreation outside of tutoring. Another concern was the lack of redirection when my child became distracted. I understand that children can chat or lose focus, but part of a tutor's role is to keep students engaged and on task. Other tutors my child has worked with have been able to redirect him effectively and consistently achieve 45-60 minutes of productive learning. That did not happen here. After seeing little academic progress despite our investment, we decided to withdraw our children. We were disappointed because we had high expectations and hoped for a structured environment that prioritized learning. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this location to families looking for focused, results-driven math tutoring

So you think that school is good? You think your not getting enough learning for you or your kid?…read moreYour not doing good in math? Well then come here to mathnasium. This place will teach you the goody goodies you need to know about math. See I'm only in 6th grade but I have learned most of the things in 6th grade, and I'm boutta learn the things in 7th. Everyone here is friendly, even the vegetarians (alan), -is a joke- and they supply you with everything you need to learn in math. In mathnasium there are instructors, and when you go in, you get your binder, (they supply it) and you pick where you sit, if there is not enough people at one table, and another has too many, then you will have to sit with the one with less people, to keep balance. I used to be garbage can at math, but ever sense I got here, it was like blessing the rains down in Africa. I recommend this place to anyone, EVEN IF YOUR GOOD AT MATH, still come here.
