My daughter went to Gilbert Junior High. The only negative was the Gilbert School district. They…read moretried to close this school and use it for Gilbert Classical Academy. While at this school my daughter flourished and was in the Junior Honors Society. She then was put through more inane manipulations sent to Highland High School and became agitated and hated going there. She was picked on by a certain religion that she did not belong to and the staff was completely incompetent. Add to this a HORRIBLE, NASTY and mean math teacher that is STILL THERE and it was a really bad year. I made the choice to move her to Gilbert High School and guess what? 4.0 average, got student of the month one month and is once again flourishing. I hate Gilbert School district for their apathy in dealing with horrible teachers. I applaud the staff at Gilbert that can do so well in a district that is so inept and so corrupt. God bless them and the difference that they have made in my daughters life. Highland, not so much.

If you own a business and Gilbert High School asks for a donation or sponsorship beware. I offered…read morea donation at their request, my only caveat was that I get a receipt, not a tax form that anyone can get off their website, mind you, a receipt. They came in to pickup the donation and refused to issue a receipt, so the donation was not issued. As a revenge tactic Wade Baize leaves a 1 star review because he is so upset that, per policy, I cannot issue the donation without a receipt. How embarrassing for the school that a faculty member trashes a small local business that was willing to help. Wade Baize should be ashamed of himself. The entitlement is off the charts. My associate watched as I explained to him the requirements over and over and refutes his claims I was "rude" do not offer donations to this school if you value your sanity and business as Wade Baize will try and tear it down.

This is by far hands down the very best school I have ever encountered. I continue to be impressed…read moreweekly with the more I learn about Gilbert Christian. The faculty and staff truly care about each and every student and their families. The Principals learn each and every students name, family members names, and give love to everyone. You truly feel God's presence in this place. There is no wonder to why there are hundreds of people on the wait list. This school is worth every penny and them some. I feel so blessed that my children get to learn and grow with such a caring environment. They have hired a specific Math teacher so that teachers can focus on their class and students get real one on one curriculum by a professional Math teacher. You can not go wrong with this school.

It's been quite a while since I attended this school, but there are still things my teachers taught…read moreme that I carry with me today. Mr. Higgins, my science teacher, had a rule that everyone had to raise their hand, even if we didn't know the answer. If he called on us and we didn't know, we were taught to say, "I don't know yet." That has genuinely stuck with me. I've brought that same mindset into my workplace, and it's amazing how much of a difference those three little letters can make. Not knowing something doesn't mean you can't learn it. I really hope Mr. Higgins is still teaching, and if he has moved on, I hope that mindset has continued with the teachers who came after him. Ms. Holloway was an amazing English teacher and someone I'll always remember. She knew how to build real rapport with her students and make you feel comfortable in her classroom. Even after all this time, I still remember the way she connected with us and how much I looked up to her. Ms. Patricia, my ceramics teacher, taught me another lesson I've carried with me. She was very clear about the boundaries in her classroom and held us to them, while still giving us plenty of freedom to be ourselves and be creative. As I've gotten older, I've realized how important that was. There is freedom within boundaries, but you have to respect where the line is. These all seem like such small things when you're sitting in a middle school classroom, but they ended up having a real impact on how I approach life today. I'm grateful I went to a school with teachers who taught lessons that went far beyond the classroom.

Can't speak highly enough about GC. We prayed for the right place for our daughter to attend…read moreschool. After a couple years of homeschooling we knew it was time for her to go back to in person . Best decision ever to enroll her at Gilbert Christian. She comes home everyday always talking about how good her day was. She loves her teachers and has made great friendships. Being able to have her attend school and have the freedom to speak about her beliefs is amazing. What's more amazing is the partnership we have with the staff and that they intentionally pray for the kids, teach truth in love and want Gods best for them all. Truly blessed to be a part of Gilbert Christian! So happy we said yes!

This review reflects our experience at the Val Vista campus only and is specific to the current…read moreadministration there: We enrolled believing a small, faith-based school would provide stronger leadership, accountability, and a more protected learning environment than public options. That was not our experience. Beneath the polished tours and Christian branding, leadership at this campus proved ineffective, dismissive, and unwilling to meaningfully address serious concerns raised by families. Many parents are drawn to a Christian school hoping to shield children from age-inappropriate influences; ironically, in our personal experience, our children were exposed to more inappropriate language and behavior here than they had been in a Chandler public school, with limited administrative response. Administration frequently emphasized high demand to attend, yet from our firsthand experience and conversations with other parents, just as many families appeared to be leaving. Academic quality and classroom professionalism raised serious questions about how teachers are hired, their qualifications, and why turnover seemed high. Tuition and a Christian label do not automatically guarantee a better education, stronger values, or responsible leadership. This review is shared in good faith to encourage families to look beyond appearances and ask direct questions about leadership accountability, discipline policies, teacher hiring practices, and retention before enrolling.

We had a really good experience with the Kyrene District elementary program but found their middle…read moreschool system lacking in many areas. That is when after much research I choose Chandler Preparatory Academy for my children to attend both middle school and high school. We have been a CPA family for over 4 years. Both children transitioned very well from public school to the Great Hearts culture. It only took about a week for them to get used to the uniforms! I feel that the stricter dress code and restrictions on personal electronics help my children to focus in the classroom and develop better relationships with their teachers and peers. Both children quickly found very positive and encouraging friend groups. We have had no issues with bulling or harassment. Attending CPA through COVID was a godsend as the entire Great Hearts operation was dedicated to getting children safely back into the classroom. Where last year my children were able to attend school in person for 90% of the school year, my neighborhood high school was online for three quarters. I am very satisfied on how CPA mitigated COVID and continues to provide in person education in a post pandemic world. I find the student body to be diverse and vibrant with students from all different backgrounds. There is a high participation of parent involvement. School pride is evident by the cleanliness and orderly nature of the school grounds. Teachers are highly assessable to both students and parents. Each teacher/class offers weekly tutoring hours. Students also have time after lunch to study, attend tutoring, or get some fresh air on the field. There is a robust mentoring program for new students as well as student lead tutoring programs for math and science above what the teachers offer. My children have very different learning styles where school comes easy for one while the other struggles. Through the CPA ESS program, my youngest gets additional support that helps her be successful with the more rigorous curriculum. I do feel that she would have "gotten lost in the shuffle" at Kyrene Middle School but at CPA she gets the support and encouragement she needs to make learning a positive experience. This school focuses on a classical liberal arts curriculum that not only cultivates the hearts and minds of students in the pursuit of Truth, Beauty and Goodness, but also graduates student leaders that are prepared for success at the college level. The school produces a very well rounded student and encourages, through CPA programs, to participate in athletics, music, art, mentorship, and community service. The Great Hearts school system offers transparency on their budgets, fundraising, and operations, which goes to show that the school motto of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness starts at the very top of the organization. You owe it to your children to consider CPA for their secondary education. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions about CPA.

Chandler prep is an awful school if you're anything other than a straight white cisgender person…read more I've seen people get bullied and the staff did nothing. I got threatened to be killed by another student and the assistant headmaster said "that's just how he is". There also aren't any additional options for what you want to explore such as agriculture, mining, engineering, medicine, and other things that are beneficial for going to college. There is no helpful support if you are struggling, and the administration did nothing but harm and ignore the students and push their ideology upon them. There are some incredible teachers still there. Mr. and Mrs. Myers, Ms. Dupee, Dr. Carpenter, Mr. Allen, Mrs. Amorose. But a lot of the best teachers have left the school. It's not worth sending your children here. They don't gain an education that truly prepares them for college and it is not worth your child's mental health and safety to send them here. CPA is not a good school in the long run, even if their test scores are good.
