My teachers became second parents. The faith is taught every day, in every classroom. We would pray the rosary every day, and every Friday the whole school goes to mass. During my first semester at college, I had an A+ in college level mathematics, and an A in college writing. I know that my education at PPA prepared me very well for college. I love this school. I can't wait to send my own children here someday.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE! This school is filled with nothing but bullies. I went here from…read morekindergarten to high school and was treated terrible by not only other students but the teachers as well. The principle is not a nice person. The education is terrible considering what you are paying. This school teaches you your faith while giving examples of how a catholic should not be behave. The teachers constantly would make fun or scream at the students in front of the whole school (it's extremely small) instead of nicely taking them aside and confronting them about the personal issue. I cried at least once a week after school and had such bad anxiety before class because of how mean the teachers were. There is also a very bad favoritism problem. Your grade is solely based on how favorited you are and if the teachers don't like you than you're screwed. Instead of detention, like a normal school, the make you do yard work for a week during your recess and lunch ( that whole week you don't get recess or lunch because you raking leaves in the front). When I transferred to my other high school in 2019 I was embarrassed on how little I knew and I had to be held back. the pandemic hit after I transferred and I am so mad that my only school memories are from this shit school. Overall you'd be better off at Public school or homeschooled because you learn nothing here besides exactly opposite of what God would want.

The school teaching methods are based on Rudolph Steiner's pedagogy which focuses on the needs of the child. A big focus is teaching the whole child following human developmental studies. The parent involvment and community of this school is terrific and every school event has been filled with so much fun and is very family friendly. I love this school.

Instead, school board members have claimed that they are now the church board and they plan to replace Father Starbuck with someone else. God help us.

They welcome all Evangelical Christians with the understanding that the classroom and Biblical instruction is taught from the perspective of the Westminster Standards and Reformed Confessions of Faith. In addition, the Administrators, School Board (with multiple parents serving) and Teachers really value parent involvement. My spouse and I are involved and our input is appreciated. If you are looking for a co-op-like school that you can be involved with -- CCA is for you! My child's Kindergarten teacher was very receptive to working with me. Last year my child learned to read, write (handwrite and cursive), was doing addition and subtraction. He grew tremendously in confidence and sense of self. My child also memorized multiple poems and Bible verses during the year in addition to 60+ questions and answers of the Catechism for Young Children. The staff creates an environment where all of the children, grades K-8, encourage and support one another. When my son comes to school, the other kids run up to the gate jumping up and down to welcome him. He loves school! The teachers helped to fuel my child's interests as well. All of the students presented in their Science Fair last year, including the Kinders, and my child LOVED it because he is really excited about science. The school sets aside specific days for the arts and PE and the students perform (music and drama!) each year. We are going to start our second year with CCA. We are so excited to have some new teachers this year too! Check it out :)

Ms. Hill worked so good with him, implementing different tools for behavior and communicating with us daily. We have seen such a tremendous difference from when he started Kindergarten, to graduation. Now he is in 1st grade and is doing really good. Miss Leal, the 1st grade teacher is super awesome as well and has different strategies for my son like open seating in his desk or on the floor. Now our daughter is in Kindergarten and has struggled a bit with the transition from preschool to Kinder, but Ms. Hill has helped her, and we are seeing the same progress as our son. One of the most amazing things besides the teachers is the Christian education that these children are getting. They are coming home and praying for each other, learning Bible verses, and knowing how many books of the Bible there are! The "special" classes that they have are also so amazing: music, art, computers and PE. They are teaching amazing concepts and my kids are learning so much. I HIGHLY recommend Bethany Christian Academy as a school for your children. They will learn about God, biblical principles, have a high quality education with teachers who are godly and loving, and the price is the lowest in Orange County! Not to mention many extra curricular activities, events, chapel, and awards for each child.

This remarkable transformation is a result of the unique blend of Catholic/Christian values and the rich military tradition that defines SCA. To put it simply, there is no place quite like St. Catherine's Academy. At SCA, the education goes beyond just academics, even though the academic programs are indeed exceptional. With small class sizes and a plethora of extracurricular activities, boys have the opportunity to develop in a holistic way. The combination of faith and military principles is truly special. Where else can a young boy receive such a profound education in morals and respect? I wholeheartedly recommend St. Catherine's Academy to any parent who wants something extraordinary for their son/s. The impact of SCA on young lives is nothing short of remarkable. SCA is not just a school; it's a place where boys become exceptional men.

I had made an oath and felt genuinely called to go pray. When I arrived, Mass was already in progress, but I only intended to quietly join for a few minutes. As I walked in, an older woman at the front stopped me. I was wearing a hat, which I planned to remove once I sat down, but before I could do that, she told me I wasn't allowed to enter. I asked why, explaining that I just wanted to pray and be part of the service. She refused and told me I couldn't come in. Then, she went as far as to physically hit my hat and told me I was being disrespectful. I asked again if she was seriously denying me access to join the Mass and pray, and she said yes. She told me to go to the chapel instead if I wanted to pray. I've never experienced anything like this before especially in a place that's supposed to be open to anyone seeking God. It felt wrong to be turned away like that when all I wanted was to pray and express gratitude.
