This school also provides some extra classes like Computer Science and Music classes like Band, Chorus, and Orchestra. This school has won numerous awards for academics and sports. By the way this is NOT a school staff member writing this. The school itself is about 30 years old. The building is in fair shape and is holding up well. I went to this school for 3 years. Overtime, you learn to be okay with the minor flaws you see in the school. If I were to change something about this school it would be the food. The cafeteria food is atrocious. US Foods doesn't need to be here. The food is relatively healthy though. However, I would recommend bringing your own food if you plan to attend this school. So, everything else is basically easy to get used to. So go ahead and take a risk. Attend this school and you may find it delightful. Or terrible.

I attended lower, middle and high school at Wesleyan (14 years in total including pre-first). It's…read morebeen 7 years since I stepped foot on campus, and I still have nightmares about this place. I was bullied terribly, but that's to be expected at any school unfortunately. What made Wesleyan different is the teachers actively participated in the bullying. From slurs referring to me being gay to smirking at me while I cried in the back of their classrooms, to always being the butt of their jokes, they did it all. It was a dark time, and they actively worked to make sure I knew I wasn't cared about.

I recently read some of the negative reviews about GAC and felt that I needed to offer a different…read moreperspective. Our oldest son started GAC in K6 and will be going into 5th grade next year. Our youngest started in K5 and will be going into 3rd grade next year. For our time there, our family at GAC has been as near and dear to us as our home church family. The teachers that our boys have been blessed to have were the perfect match for their personalities and strengths/challenges. Both boys were diagnosed with dyslexia 2 years ago and the Orton-Gillingham based academic support program has been fantastic! I know that both are a bit self-conscious reading aloud but we had some daddy-son time last night (Mom was out with some neighborhood GAC moms) and I asked both to read a chapter of their current summer-reading book to me. I was blown away! Their progress since just the first of the year is stark and I know that is due to the support they have received this year from their teachers (and my wife's activity as well). Granted that we have not seen life in middle or high school and some of the challenges that others experienced may exist on some scale but I keep meeting so many neat kids that are near graduation that have nothing but positive things to say about their experience. I sincerely believe that the staff will work with us to overcome the challenges that we face when/should they arise. Is GAC perfect? Probably not. The community is made up of flawed human beings who are absolutely capable of making mistakes. But I sincerely believe that they are acting and making choices that is a continuation of the work my wife and I are doing to raise our children to "grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and all people." As far as the power lines, I will have to look for those. I don't recall seeing any but looking at Google Earth there might be some at the back of campus near the baseball field. If so, that wouldn't be anywhere near the Village, but again, I will have to look when school starts back. And for the sake of a little fun... even though my favorite colors are orange and blue, black and red attire is now in my closet as well. Go Spartans!

We have had a great experience at GAC. We have four students with various interest and ways of…read morelearning. I have two that have dyslexia that came in remediated, but they do have a remediation program. There is academic support. Those teachers are amazing and push into the classroom in elementary school. the teachers are supportive, communicative, and available accessible and connected with our kids. My kids are involved in sports music, dance, arts , theater. There are a lot of opportunities to be outward facing service projects, mission trips. While I appreciate that, my kids are taught the Bible and a relationship with Jesus and the teachers reflect that my kids also have a diverse group of friends that come from different religious backgrounds, economic, backgrounds, and political backgrounds, which aren't emphasized, but there is a variety of demographic. My son instance has friends that are Hindi, Punjabi, agnostic. My kids are taught not just about Christian world views, but different religious world views, different scientific views like evolution in biology (which someone for some reason said they aren't taught) and they're taught from a scientific standpoint not trying to dispute the scientific theory. As rhe get older, they have opportunities to question, debate, express their opinions in different classes and that's encouraged because they don't want the kids to be programmed robots. As I stated earlier, their families of different economic backgrounds, but that is not something that is known or something that at least for my kids they don't care if they have a lot of money or don't have a lot of money. It's just not important in the grand scheme of things. They have a diverse group of friends and I find that a lot of my friends kids find their niche. They find their people because there's so much variety and diversity. Well, they do a annual fun fundraiser. You could donate a dollar and still participate with zero judgment or not at all. There is a level of understanding from learning disabilities to economic to religious backgrounds that is accepted without judgment. Of course there's gonna be jerk kids at every school, but that's the minority and not the majority.

She helped a black child who was struggling with a backpack over his winter coat. Then, she did the laughing "chilly" dance with another much younger black child, perhaps a kindergartener or first grader, who was racing inside to escape the cold. Mrs. Deruki greeted two Asian sisters on their way in the front door and waved at a group of Hispanic siblings trekking down the sidewalk. Everyone was smiling, children and adults alike. As I witnessed all this from my car, I couldn't help but think about the review complaining about NDA's lack of diversity. This is not an all white school like so many other private schools in Georgia. In my child's class alone, there are Hispanic families, Asian families, mixed race families, and black families. I want my child in a school that welcomes all races and ethnicities, and honestly, that has been my experience at NDA. I cannot speak for other parents who may feel differently, and I feel sad for the mom who felt like her daughter's needs were not met. But, there must be more to that story that was not shared here on Yelp. My fear is that negative reviews calling NDA racist will scare away the very families that NDA wants to welcome to its community. Please don't be afraid. My daughter's experience at NDA has been wonderful. The academics are rigorous and the expectations are high. She has not loved every single teacher, but some teachers are adored, deeply. And that's life, isn't it? Persevere, learn, grow. Notre Dame Academy is not a perfect fit for every student, but my Colombian American daughter loves it, and she is thriving.

How would I know that I don't know, but she need to be fired cause oh my God think of how she's being to kids if she does that to a grown ass adult just trying to do their job.
