From the owner: Christian Heritage Academy is a Christian-based institution that provides quality education in a…read moreChristian atmosphere, aiming to develop students' individual abilities and academic readiness for future challenges. The academy admits students of all races, colors, nationalities, and ethnicities and does not discriminate based on their background. Students are accepted on a 90-day probationary basis, with parents being asked to withdraw if disruptive behavior occurs. Christian Heritage is part of the University Boulevard Church of the Nazarene's ministries, and its policies are determined by the local congregation. The school's child care center, established in 1984, is licensed and inspected annually. The center provides a clean, safe, and attractive environment for learning, considering the child's age, stage, maturity, size, needs, and capabilities. Call today to learn more.

As a mother, I don't write reviews lightly--especially about a school. But I feel a responsibility…read moreto speak up because a child's emotional safety matters just as much as academics. My experience at University Christian School left me very concerned about the way some situations were handled, specifically in interactions involving Jeleen Del Valle. On more than one occasion, I witnessed a tone that felt harsh and intimidating toward students, including yelling. As a parent, it is painful to watch children being spoken to in a way that can embarrass them or make them feel afraid. I also felt disrespected as a parent during communication. Instead of calm, professional conversation, I experienced dismissive responses and a tone that did not reflect patience, empathy, or partnership with families. When parents raise concerns, we should feel heard--not talked down to. Another concern was what appeared to be favoritism, where certain children received gentler treatment while others were corrected in a more aggressive way. In a school environment--especially a Christian school--every child should feel equally valued, protected, and treated with dignity. I truly hope the administration takes parent concerns seriously and improves accountability and communication moving forward. Families deserve a school environment where children feel safe, respected, and supported--every single day.

Steffaney Bass is truly a gem! As the Director of…read moreAdmissions, she goes above and beyond in every way possible. From the very first email, Steffaney made us feel like we were the most important family she was working with. She answers every question promptly, thoroughly, and with such warmth--it's as if she responds with love and light in every message. Transitioning into a new school, especially high school, can be overwhelming, but Steffaney has made the experience smooth, welcoming, and honestly, joyful. Her attentiveness and kindness made my daughter and I feel not just seen, but valued. She has truly set the tone for what we hope will be an amazing school journey. As a Dean of Students for DCPS, I've worked with countless professionals in education--but Steffaney stands out. Her proactive approach and genuine care for each family are qualities I'll be taking back with me to my own district. She is truly a light, and any school is blessed to have someone like her representing it. I am beyond impressed and deeply grateful. Thank you, Steffaney, for everything!

We have been going to this school for 8 years (multiple kids) and still going. The facility allows the kids to experience multiple playgrounds, gardens, swimming, tennis, dance, theater, basketball, and they can even play in the gym when it's raining. If you are looking for a preschool you should at least tour this one. (also it is important to note you don't have to be jewish and many kids aren't).

From the very first tour, my husband and I were in awe of how professional the staff was and how clean and organized the center appeared. In my mind, it was the perfect fit for a Type A parent like myself. I first met Ms. Andrea, who was simply delightful and soft-spoken. I shared my expectations as a parent, and she truly listened. I told her that as long as my child was treated with respect, communication remained open--even for the slightest concern--and transparency was maintained, she wouldn't hear a peep from me. Ms. Andrea and Ms. Yahira have exceeded my expectations in every way. Not only do they treat my child with respect, but they genuinely love her and have taught her so much in such a short time. I selfishly pray they will still be here when my second child is of age. They are truly an asset to this program and to our family. We sincerely appreciate all that they do.
