Small class sizes give the teachers the opportunity to interact and get to know each kids strengths and weaknesses. My son is now flourishing. He is on track with straight A's.

This school was truly an answer to my family's prayers! Our First grader was in public school and…read morehad an IEP. The public school did not implement his IEP in anyway. We found Majestic Preparatory Academy and was amazed from day one! Teachers and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They are always willing to spend the extra time needed with my child or to answer any questions we may have. Student to teacher ratio is 10 so the teachers have the ability to take care of individual students needs. My child not only caught up but exceeded his education requirements for the year! His confidence level increased 100%. They went on field trips and enjoyed many activities throughout the year. This place has been a blessing and we are looking forward to the summer program as well as a new school year in the fall.

I am class of 2013 and can confirm that this school is non-denominational. However, the confusion…read morecomes from the fact that people think that means no religion. However, it actually means they just don't claim a specific denomination of Christianity. Their teachings, morals, and values are closest to southern baptist if I had to label it. I can remember the guys from the local military school coming to play us in sports and remarking, "This place is really strict." just to help you understand how strict this school is. If you are looking for boarding school options, this is one of the cheapest; but you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend this place for any young people, but especially not for young black and brown girls. The subliminal discrimination in both policy and practice still exist from a time when we weren't allowed at this school. One word of advice for the Peevy Dean and his minions: Hire an equity consultant. Your policies, procedures, and rules are very much backwoods Habersham County.

What can I say about TFS…read more I hope they have learned a lot since the early 2000's when I was there. They claimed to be non-denominational but was operated by Southern Baptist to the strictest extent. Even holding hands with someone was a red flag and up for expulsion. If you didn't participate in sports, you are forced to become the custodial crew doing carpet cleaning, toilet cleaning, grounds cleaning, you get the ideal. No concept of freedom is here. It is just strict Southern Baptist rules. I did hear that the campus minister is now in charge than the hypocritical Superintendent before him making TFS a living hell. So I am hoping things have been going well since.

Our kids began St Francis in 2021 (5th & 6th grades) and it has been life-changing. It's truly a…read morehidden gem for families seeking a college preparatory education in a welcoming, structured environment. With varied academic levels--including AP, Honors, and two tiers of College Prep, students are both challenged and supported, allowing every student to thrive & receive the individual attention they deserve. Our son struggles with executive functioning and has thrived with the supportive routines; our daughter, a more typical learner, has also excelled. The curriculum is intentionally process-oriented, broken down into manageable segments so students gain mastery, not just memorization. There's a strong emphasis on organizational skills, note-taking (Cornell method), research skills, and effective study habits. The mandatory "Homework Hour" and use of assignment planners help students build discipline and self-reliance; as parents, we appreciate that most homework is completed at school. It's an excellent fit for students with dyslexia or ADHD, but also offers plenty of challenge--including Honors and AP options, for academically advanced or typical learners. St Francis sets high, but appropriate, expectations for all. A previous post mentioned the point system. This system is an amazing way to help students with accountability. The post mentioned 3-10 kids per week that might have to wear the uniform on Fridays. This point system is at the K-8 campus. That equates to about 1-2% of the kids each week. That means ~99% get their homework completed each night and don't have a behavior issue at school. We have not experienced any vaping or bullying, the staff, creates a safe community. Students and staff are respectful and kind. Both staff and admin are accessible, present on campus, and genuinely care about each child. Our experience with the school's college guidance program has been especially impressive; counselors work closely with students to chart a successful course to their desired college. If there's a weakness, it's that the campus buildings and grounds aren't new and flashy. It's important for prospective families to know that the academic excellence and caring community here far outweigh how our campus compares to some of the other newer private school campuses. If you're searching for a school that prioritizes strong values and a college preparatory path, St Francis deserves your attention. We are deeply invested in this community, and are grateful every day for what this school offers. St Francis is one of those rare places where students are truly known, respected, and equipped with the habits and confidence needed for lifelong success. We love St. Francis and are proud to recommend it wholeheartedly!

They don't care about how your doing mentally or physically. The counsalrs don't do crap. don't just come here because it's "fancy" or "collage prep" Because that said "collage prep," is just making you work harder in school during summer just so the staff can get a extra pay check. if you want your kids to feel good about them selves, don't send them here. Bullying= they don't help. waste of time and money. do better SFHS

They are tried and true when it comes to building a strong academic and behavioral foundation for students. They keep a solid routine which is great for consistency.

I appreciate their Covid-19 protocols in place like mandatory mask wearing and daily temperature checks. They only had to close once for a Covid issue all last school year. If I ever have questions or concerns, I can always reach out and get assistance. The tuition is also very reasonable and class sizes are small. I highly recommend Achievers Academy!
