We are not Catholic and have been welcomed and accepted. I read another reviewer remarks, and we have not experienced any clicks. We have loved everything about San Jose. The curriculum is very challenging and the school hold the kids to very high standards academically and morally. We have felt that it is a school that requires a lot of family involvement whether it is volunteering in the classroom, sporting events, in the cafeteria or putting on enriching activities for the kids. The school is very diverse and everyone is invited to pitch in. I really love that the kids go through middle school in the same elementary environment. It is a very nurturing and caring environment yet it does not caudal kids. I would highly recommend San Jose Catholic school!

PS to the ruse teacher running soccer (most teachers here are rude and cruel except Ms Rachel to their students). Anyways, the lady announcing the soccer games perhaps should shut her mike off when getting im the boys fave and saying sick your a@@ down. Long story short, $, click and rudeness. So much for Catholic spirit.

From the owner: Christian Heritage Academy is a Christian-based institution that provides quality education in a…read moreChristian atmosphere, aiming to develop students' individual abilities and academic readiness for future challenges. The academy admits students of all races, colors, nationalities, and ethnicities and does not discriminate based on their background. Students are accepted on a 90-day probationary basis, with parents being asked to withdraw if disruptive behavior occurs. Christian Heritage is part of the University Boulevard Church of the Nazarene's ministries, and its policies are determined by the local congregation. The school's child care center, established in 1984, is licensed and inspected annually. The center provides a clean, safe, and attractive environment for learning, considering the child's age, stage, maturity, size, needs, and capabilities. Call today to learn more.

As a mother, I don't write reviews lightly--especially about a school. But I feel a responsibility…read moreto speak up because a child's emotional safety matters just as much as academics. My experience at University Christian School left me very concerned about the way some situations were handled, specifically in interactions involving Jeleen Del Valle. On more than one occasion, I witnessed a tone that felt harsh and intimidating toward students, including yelling. As a parent, it is painful to watch children being spoken to in a way that can embarrass them or make them feel afraid. I also felt disrespected as a parent during communication. Instead of calm, professional conversation, I experienced dismissive responses and a tone that did not reflect patience, empathy, or partnership with families. When parents raise concerns, we should feel heard--not talked down to. Another concern was what appeared to be favoritism, where certain children received gentler treatment while others were corrected in a more aggressive way. In a school environment--especially a Christian school--every child should feel equally valued, protected, and treated with dignity. I truly hope the administration takes parent concerns seriously and improves accountability and communication moving forward. Families deserve a school environment where children feel safe, respected, and supported--every single day.

Steffaney Bass is truly a gem! As the Director of…read moreAdmissions, she goes above and beyond in every way possible. From the very first email, Steffaney made us feel like we were the most important family she was working with. She answers every question promptly, thoroughly, and with such warmth--it's as if she responds with love and light in every message. Transitioning into a new school, especially high school, can be overwhelming, but Steffaney has made the experience smooth, welcoming, and honestly, joyful. Her attentiveness and kindness made my daughter and I feel not just seen, but valued. She has truly set the tone for what we hope will be an amazing school journey. As a Dean of Students for DCPS, I've worked with countless professionals in education--but Steffaney stands out. Her proactive approach and genuine care for each family are qualities I'll be taking back with me to my own district. She is truly a light, and any school is blessed to have someone like her representing it. I am beyond impressed and deeply grateful. Thank you, Steffaney, for everything!

The small class sizes, individual attention and no assigned homework has made a HUGE difference in our family life. On the rare occasion he doesn't finish his work at school because of a doctor/dentist appointment, he comes home & immediately completes his work. He NEVER cared about his schoolwork & homework was ALWAYS a struggle until he started at Center Academy at St. John's Bluff. I am so thankful to have options such as this school because some kids just don't do well at large public schools and need different accommodations that other schools can't offer. Plus we have NEVER had a bullying issue or anything even close to that. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Center Academy if your child has unique needs.

My perspective for this review is probably going to be different. I was a visiting guest…read moreartist/assistant for an all day ceramic workshop for the juniors and seniors taking ceramics. I arrived early with Professor Cottrell from FSCJ and brought in wheels and supplies for the day and then checked in at the office for our guest badges. I did complete the background check process for Duval County Schools ahead of my visit. Being a school focused on arts was just fun to take in- art everywhere. The school plays music in between classes- fun or quirky music. Outside of the ceramics class was an outdoor sculpture garden filled with student and guest artists work! Including works from my professor. I was impressed with how clean the studio was and also intrigued about curriculum. Most of the students had never thrown on the wheel- which made things interesting. Our actual project was a handbuilt pumpkin. We taught the students how to make pumpkins from slab roller, to texture/surface decorating, to building. And we saved plenty of time at the end of the day for cleanup- which I am pretty sure both teachers were stunned about! I have a habit of keeping a tight schedule when doing events like this. My professor recently discovered my hidden talent and that's how I was invited to Douglas Anderson. I hope to return again for future projects- the exchange of ideas amongst creatives is always inspiring to me.

I attended this school when I was much younger, so I cannot comment much on the current curriculum…read more All I know is that most people who attended school here wore DA goggles. Lol. Back when I went, the curriculum was similar to college in that you had a proposed major and all your teachers were actually artistically inclined in some way or another. (I remember my government teacher was a guitar player.) The arts span both visual and performing arts (2-d and 3-d visual artists, dancers, musicians, vocalists, actors, even theatre technical staff). When I attended, they did not have culinary arts or graphic arts (since the internet was still in its infancy.... wow does this review make me sound like a dinosaur? haha), but maybe it has changed now. Who knows? Anyway, I wish I had stayed for the entire 4 years of high school, but fear of becoming a starving artist and teasing from my bro drove me out of this school. The irony is I now work at the creative department in my company designing things... Lol. If you've got a budding artist or performer in your family, definitely consider this magnet school. You got to audition, and it's much easier to become a student if you're a freshman. So don't wait too long to try out!

Their goal is to prepare the children for high school and college and I truly believe my daughter is more prepared for high school now than the average 8th grader.
