It is a hybrid model so kids go to school three days a week and two days a week you homeschool your child which allows you to work on skills they are struggling on or advance them and skills they've already mastered because they get so much one-on-one time. I love how the teachings of the Bible are woven into all aspects from handwriting to reading to social studies and of course daily Bible study. A great conservative school.

This school was our first choice, and we entered with high expectations, but we were ultimately…read morevery disappointed by our experience. The atmosphere is lovely and the learning environment is strong; however, the level of communication was extremely lacking. Our child is spirited and likely has ADHD, and the school was not equipped to accommodate or support her needs. During her second year, we were told the Montessori method might not be ideal, but we were assured the school would pay for someone to observe her and work with the teachers to create a plan to better support her. While this gave us hope, that observation never happened, and no plan was put in place. We were completely caught off guard when attempting to re-enroll and were informed that a final decision had already been made not to accept our child into Kindergarten. At no point was this communicated to us in advance. Our child attended the school from ages 3-5, an age when children are still learning self-regulation, yet we were told the Montessori model requires children to already possess this skill. By the time we were notified, enrollment at other schools had closed, leaving us with very limited options. In my opinion, this is not a good fit for spirited children or those with learning differences. The lack of follow-through and poor communication significantly impacted our family's educational path. If you suspect your child may have ADHD or needs additional support, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere.

I communicated with Ms. Woodbury by email regarding my daughter's enrollment. My experience was…read moredisappointing. I repeatedly requested information relating to my child, but was told the file was "confidential" and that the school would not provide. As my daughter's biological mother with parental rights, I felt excluded from decisions involving my own child while her father is currently overseas. I was particularly concerned after being informed that "all parties agreed" to the enrollment, as that did not reflect my experience. I expected greater transparency, communication, and respect for parental involvement, especially from a Christian school. Regardless of the legal issues between parents, I believe schools should strive to communicate openly with both parents. My experience left me feeling excluded rather than welcomed.

As a teacher who worked at Pinellas Secondary School, the workplace environment was very positive. The principal and assistant principal are marvelous people. It shocked me how close I got to them and how comfortable I was with them. This is usually not the case at most schools, as principals feel the need to assert distance between them and the teaching staff as an eye roll-worthy attempt to maintain some semblance of a pseudo-hierarchy. It was the total opposite here: Mr. Hammond and Mrs. Ramdohr were very approachable, kind, helpful, and caring. The staff in general is exceedingly familial here. Employment at PSS truly felt like working alongside a community of friendly neighbors. The students are another story. I'd say parents absolutely should NOT send their children here, but they really don't have much of a choice if their child committed a serious violation. The HS students are usually pretty well-behaved and polite, since they want to transition back to their original school. The middle schoolers on the other hand are the worst children I've ever seen in my entire adult life. Not only are the hideously immature, but they are toxically hateful to boot. They fight nearly every single day, they do not respect authority at all, they steal without a second thought, and they populate 3/4 of the school. As a teacher considering working here, I'd say do yourself a favor and refuse to teach the middle schoolers. INSIST on teaching high school and you'll probably love your job. All in all, I'd absolutely come back and work at Pinellas Secondary School, provided I got to choose which students I worked with.
