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.

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 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.

I finally wanted to take the time to write this review and express my disgust for a teacher by the…read morename of Mrs. Smith (short, dirty blonde hair) back when my daughter was in first grade. My daughter still recalls, to this day, how Mrs. Smith would scold her over the most insignificant things. She would tell her not to yawn in class, as if she wasn't allowed to be tired or could control when she yawned. She would never do this to the other students in the class if they yawned, despite the fact that they would also be talking in the middle of class while my daughter stayed quiet and well-behaved. My daughter was one of the very few Asians in the school at the time, and this behavior was clearly discriminatory. It is vile and repulsive to think that a teacher treats her students differently based on their race, but the fact remains that she would never scold the other white kids for the same things that she would scold my daughter for. After moving to California, the difference was like night and day. Every single teacher she had only ever praised her for being one of the brightest students they ever had. Her reading comprehension was 5 grade levels above her own, she took honors classes for writing, science, and math, and she kept straights A's for every subject all throughout her schooling. She was such a happy, smart, and disciplined student that multiple teachers asked me what my secret was to raising her. To see such a stark difference between how the teachers in California treated her versus Mrs. Smith, it was especially clear who the issue was. Mrs. Smith, if you happen to be reading this or someone has made you aware of this post, know that my daughter is now on a full academic scholarship at a prestigious university in California, and I have no doubt that she will be making a positive impact on the world. Despite your discouragement and discrimination towards her from a young age, she stayed passionate towards learning , so when she inevitably becomes successful, she will make sure that she speaks out against terrible people like you who target specific students. I certainly hope you're not teaching because someone like you should not be interacting with children, let alone educating them. You should have never been able to get a teaching degree in the first place, and the fact that you were able to get a job in the first place shows how flawed our education system can be. Unfortunately, the U.S. has too many of these discriminatory educators, and it's despicable. It's truly unfortunate that I only came to know about this later, after my daughter saw how differently the teachers in California treated her. When she was at Berkeley, she was young and didn't want to cause any trouble for me or her, but if I had known about this sooner, I would have brought this to the attention of the school, immediately. I honestly don't know if anything would have been done about her behavior because the front office was always hostile and rude towards me, and I could feel racist energy coming from them as well. I'm very passionate about this issue because I grew up in Georgia in the '70s/'80s where my family and I had to endure so much racism, and I don't want to see anybody have to go through the same things I did, especially my own child! For this very reason, I made it my life's mission to move to California, to an area with a predominantly Asian population, and it was the best decision. We are so happy in California, and we couldn't imagine being in any other state in the U.S. I know Georgia has changed a lot over the years, and even though there is a large ethnic community there now, we would never sacrifice the amazing weather, less mosquitoes, and the greater diversity of California to ever move back to Georgia.

Unfortunately, when we booked his camp this year, we were notified 3 days later that I was being transferred for work to another state. When we asked for a refund, they told us there was a $60 processing fee that was non-refundable. In spite of being repeat customers, and funneling our son's friends to their camp as well, they would not budge on this, despite the short gap between the purchase and the request for a refund. You would think with how many camps there are in the Atlanta area, they'd work with us to maintain a good reputation in the community. This is a dishonest practice and we will discourage our friends in the area from using their services in the future.
