The second time was last year, for my son's Junior/Senior year of HS, also submitting college applications. Both of my kids got a 31 on their ACT, and Huntington was influential in making that happen. Beyond just the subject competancy that Huntington offerred, they also helped with ACT test prep, time management, and other non-academic aspects that go into this very important score. My daugher got her first choice school, which was University of Illinois in Champaign, Engineering - she is a Junior now at UIUC. And my son got his first choice, which was Indiana University, Kelley School of Business, in Bloomington, IN - he is a freshman, and just had a successful fall term academically. Thank you Mary, Nancy, and all the rest of the staff at HLC Orland Park.

I have been connected to the Calvary Academy community since August 2013. I am the husband of a former Calvary teacher, and I am the parent of a current eight grader and fourth grader. In my 13-year experience with Calvary, I have witnessed the school's continuous commitment to providing academic excellence with a sound Christian education. Calvary has remained true to prepare students to live as Kingdom leaders in a fallen world. The faculty and administration are outstanding. The school is moving in a great direction. There has been increased engagement with families with heightened transparent communication between educators and parents. Many opportunities for community development amongst students, parents, faculty, and staff have been implemented. Clearly, GOD's hand is on Calvary Academy. One final note, I believe the fact that the school's student body is predominantly African-American is not a weakness but a strength. No where else in the Chicagoland south suburban region have I heard of another predominantly African-American Christian School. I think that should be celebrated. It places Calvary in a unique position in the Body of CHRIST to fulfill a specific mission to the African-American community that no other Christian school has dared to take.

I can remember every teacher I had and I learned so much and took away so many things, but one thing I will forever be grateful for is being in a culture and community that taught about Jesus Christ. It may not be a big deal to some, but as an adult, I'm soooo grateful for that foundation! Fast forward, my kid has started here and I have no regrets. The teachers are very compassionate and desire for the students to succeed. The administration is AMAZING! I have seen firsthand, how the Head of School (Dr. Page) and Principal Dr. Collins do their best to put the students first and to collaborate with the parents. They actually listen to the concerns of the parents and desire to make things new and fresh at Calvary. I can breathe knowing that when my child walks into that building, that one: he's been prayed for by the staff, two: he's safe, and three: he's growing in education and in the Lord. I mean, what more could you want? Will everything be perfect at a school? Of course not. You won't find perfection anywhere, but can you expect growth in your children, to be heard as a parent, and feel supported? Yes, yes and yes!

PARENTS OF CHILDREN OF COLOR PLEASE ADVOCATE FOR YOUR CHILD AT IJP!!!!! WWJD? Definitely not what this institution did. Of course I had to deal with the 2 new faces of IJP. The principal hired last March and the new Kindergarten teacher with only 2 years experience. Parents deserve to know what happened to our son at Infant Jesus of Prague. After only a day and a half in kindergarten, we had no choice but to withdraw him because of the way he was treated. On the second day of school, just two hours after class began, he was sent to the principal's office and described as unable to communicate or make eye contact. This was a five-year-old child who had only met the staff the day before. To place him in the principal's office so quickly and apply such labels was not only premature but prejudicial, unprofessional, and emotionally harmful. Please keep in mind that the mother has a background in child development and Psychology. There was nothing wrong with our son. He did what healthy children do. He spun on a bright rug, hugged me at drop-off, asked for help with his zipper, and had a small disagreement with a peer. These are completely normal behaviors for his age, yet they were mischaracterized as problems. My son knows how to zip a zipper. He may have been seeking Ms. Dyra's attention, just to see is she would help him. The teacher reported that he hit another child, while he told us the opposite. Instead of helping two children resolve a conflict, blame was placed squarely on him. When he sought comfort, he was reprimanded, even though other children were being comforted at the same time. This kind of inconsistent and unfair treatment creates stigma in the mind of a child who is just beginning his school journey. Even more concerning, the principal asked us whether our son's doctor had ever reported behavioral issues. This was an intrusive and inappropriate question and a clear attempt to pathologize age-appropriate behavior. Our son's physician has never raised concerns. To suggest otherwise showed a lack of understanding of both child development and professional boundaries. The lack of care extended beyond behavior. The teacher even sent us an email calling our son by the wrong name. A kindergartner's sense of identity and belonging is fragile. To misname a child reflects carelessness, not the nurturing and attention that five-year-olds deserve. When our son was placed in the office, his father left work to pick him up against the principal's advice. That moment revealed the truth: our child's emotional well-being was not their priority. Later, when I came to formally withdraw him, the conversation centered not on his welfare but on a check. We care about the refund, but this was never about money. This was about a child being mislabeled, stigmatized, and made to feel unsafe in his very first school experience. And I must ask, what would Jesus do? Jesus would not have mislabeled a kindergartner, called him by the wrong name, or isolated him in an office after only two hours of his second day. A Catholic school should embody patience, compassion, and understanding. Instead, what we experienced was judgment, rigidity, and a lack of care. Parents, hear me clearly: there was nothing wrong with my child. The problem was the way he was treated. Infant Jesus of Prague showed weak leadership, poor developmental understanding, and emotionally unsafe practices. No five-year-old should ever be made to feel like something is wrong with them on their very first two days of school!! Beyond PREJUDICE, the attitudes were devilish and extremely cold! I understand why my child had anxiety and didn't talk to them. Lacking severe skills needed for transitioning kindergartners. Or any child that has not met them prior. Giving a child one day to transition is gatekeeping and stigmatizing to impressionable children.

It is like a small family here. The classes cover many different topics and are very "hands on". There is a play area for open play and a large room for more exercise type activity. There are educational field trips throughout the school year. The only reason its not 5 stars is because I would prefer a longer (duration) learning program instead of 2.5 hours per day.

He had such an unbelievable and valuable experience at Thornridge that he was actually crying and truly sad it was over (as was I). He has built many incredible friendships and has nothing but great memories from the classroom to the fun field trips he attended. The teachers genuinely care about the children and are very creative in the lessons they teach. For instance, learning the alphabet, numbers, teaching the kids to write their names, and even cooking! They are very involved with every activity they do and truly enjoy teaching the children. They put so much more time into the regular school day (2.5 hrs), their day is not over after 11:30 am, by no means. I am very happy that my youngest son will be going there next school year for the 2 day program and then the following year for the 5 day Pre-K program. I know he will have the same special experiences and build friendships like me oldest son did. Very happy and thrilled to be a part of the Thornridge family!
