Our daughter loves this school, and so do we. She's been here since Kindergarten and is now in…read moresecond grade. She has grown so tremendously in this time in many ways: her writing (including cursive!) is incredible, her math is way ahead of her age, she's good on a keyboard, she's learning music, and she has fantastic self-esteem. And best of all, her imagination is unstoppable thanks to the many ways the teachers here give structured imaginative exercises. They have an excellent curriculum and keep kids safe and well behaved (mostly...kids are still kids). We highly recommend this school.

If you want to waste your money, send your child here. The principal and administrator do not care to address needs of the children and only worried about a paycheck. This school tried to open under nation mandated stay at home orders. The administrator and principal both avoid calls, texts and emails. They are holding out on my sons lesson plans. WHAT A JOKE. My child is now falling behind because of his teachers refusal to respond to me. The teacher/principals exact words to me in regards to teaching my son for the remainder of the school year, "why waste my time if he's not coming back next year?" UPDATE 4/19: My son has now been "removed" from the school due to slow internet connections. His teacher/principal/owner (all one person) will refuse to believe he was kicked out of Zoom due to slow internet speeds and believes he was playing around. He had roughly 6 weeks left of the school year and she refuses to take him back into the school. I just paid tuition for the month so there goes $400. I had to involve an attorney for my son's records since the school is withholding them so I'm unable to enroll him in another school.

Where do I start?? This school is the best school I have ever had interaction with. My daughter was…read morea Veteran there from K to 8th grade completed in 2022. I went to church there when it was still College Heights Christian School and my parents weren't able to afford it . I said, "My child will go there someday when I have my kids." It kept the kids as kids unlike public school is unable to do without Christ as the foundation. Today my daughter almost about to graduate HS was reunited with her City alumni at their JR High/High School Summer camp. Still good kids and the secret is Jesus and parents who invest in their children is a winning combination that goes unmatched. If you can pull it off please do it. My son attended Pre-K and was able to have his start of school with his sister that would not of been possible without this school since it's PreK to 8th now. My son loved it so much and talks about going back all the time he's now hitting 3rd grade. Unfortunately, financially it's not possible for him. it's heartbreaking to not give him the same blessings as his sister. Amazing school. 10/10

Here is why I would not enroll my children here: 1) the…read moreschool subscribes to Christian Nationalism, DT, & CK teachings despite having students and teachers of varying racial backgrounds. Students who are not loud DT supporters are automatically labeled as democrats and told that they are "not Christian" and bullied. Bullies (& their families)who commit actual ASSAULT are protected by the leaders- even with police involvement. Maga-ville, USA. 2) Unqualified teaching staff. Many teachers are not credentialed nor have they even graduated from college. They are trained at the affiliated church's "bible college" and allowed to then teach your children! New unqualified teachers (one male specifically) is being harbored at this school despite complaints from parents that he is emotionally abusive to several male students and he also allows the female students to cheat on tests. Big red flag as a mother with a daughter. Ok? This teacher has CK quotes & pictures on his walls. Bible college students live right across the street in the green apartments-right next door to the school. That made me feel Uncomfortable. The church+the bible college+apartments+school= concerning levels of cult-like vibes. 3) Campus- no library, no gym, no green spaces, no cafeteria, no locker rooms. Sketchy stairway. Across from County Jail. Large electrical wires nearby. Underwhelming. 4)Money- be prepared to pay a LOT of $$ constantly. We put down very large non-refundable deposits and then the school Changed their requirements for parent volunteering- with threats of fines for non-compliance. Lunches- we were promised handmade/homemade meals from a school parent but received expensive, mediocre, unhealthy cafeteria food. "Retreat"- you will be charged for a retreat and we were told it would be camping at Forest Home but it was sleeping on the floor in the classroom. Weird & gross. If your kid forgets their P.E. Uniform- you will Be charged $$. Lots of extra charges! Sports, teacher wishlist, fundraisers, etc etc etc. They will nickel & dime you at every juncture. Bottom line- you are better off in public school. You get a better education from credentialed teachers, better campuses/opportunities, there is better accountability for teachers & staff and it's "free". This school is mentally, emotionally, socially and physically unhealthy for kids. This is OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I would not recommend attending here- absolutely no.

My son came to Peppermint Junction from an in home daycare to Pre-k. With Ms. Lory's loving and gentle approach, he adapted quickly and loves going to school. He is currently in T-k with Ms. Kelly and he blossomed to be communicative, thoughtful, understanding of what is being asked of him and the expectations. All teachers work incredibly well together and their number one priority is the children, ensuring they are feeling secure mentally, socially, and physically. If you ever have questions about how and why certain things are done, the teachers are more than happy to explain and work collaboratively with the parents. I can't say enough good things about the experiences I have had at Peppermint Junction and the caring staff/owner. I can't put a price on piece of mind knowing that my child is safe and happy while learning. Thank you all at Peppermint Junction for your hard work, you truly make a difference.
