Are they on meds that need to be administered at school? Are they Neurodiverse (Dyslexic, Anxiety, ADHD, Autistic, Dyscalculia, etc.)? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, this school probably isn't for you. We really loved the school when the kid was younger. But, partway through the lower school, supports and amenities suddenly got a lot more scarce! The Middle School is even worse. Were the staff at fault? Usually not. Decisions were made and the kids that needed a bit of help paid the price. There isn't a school nurse. They have remodeled some of the specialist-type classrooms to convert them into classrooms. There has been quite a bit of staff leaving in the last 5 years. There isn't a real 9:1 kid to teacher ratio in practice, they use alternative accounting practices including counting staff members like the librarian (kids see the librarian for an hour or less per week while most teachers rush back to their rooms for preparation time leaving the librarian often alone with the kids). Teacher assistants in the lower school are not necessarily full time and are often pulled from class to cover teachers and things like playground duties. The administration is actively trying to add more students per class, and more classes overall, as all administrators are prone to do. In short, while it is a beautiful school, it isn't for everyone. Try not to be dazzled and ask the hard questions. See if this is right for your family. It is an expensive question to get wrong.

Firstly, I would like to say I love this AWS and I hope this place gets to be the best of the best…read more I AWS

I have taken much time and pondered my thoughts extensively as it pertains to writing this review…read more Please know that it comes from a place of passion, hurt and confusion. This review will be extensively, but I urge you to read it in its entirety. Firstly, I want to say that my wife and I had high hopes for this school when enrolling our three-year-old daughter. My name is Gerry Gordon and I am writing and advocating for my wife and daughter who have been tremendously affected by the misconduct of Annie Wright schools. Secondly, I want to address that due to the numerous accounts of negligence and social injustice my daughter endured I am convinced there is no diversity inclusion training or awareness within the Lower school staff, before and after school staff and its counterparts. Why do I say these things? Here are the things my daughter had to endure in only a 6-month period. Not in any particular order. 1. My daughter got ill with the flu due to the Annie Wrights lack of communication. To expound on this topic, I received an email stating that my daughter was "out of sorts", lethargic and not herself. Still having trust in the educators and nurse at this point, my wife and I took their advice to "monitor" her and check for a fever. We asked their opinion if we should come and they said NO she doesn't have a fever. Mind you we were never called but emailed and who knows how long she was sick. Come to find out she was in the nurse's office for over an hour maybe more. Long story short, my daughter ends up with the flu because I decided to take her to the doctor because the next day she returned to school and got a fever. On multiple occasions, we have seen her outside in the cold without a jacket. WE WERE NEVER CALLED ONCE while she exhibited concerning health signs. The nurse and the teachers refused to call and said email their primary form of contacting parents, even after I BOLDY requested phone calls due to the nature of my job and my wife's schooling. My daughter getting the flu could have been avoided with better communication. Once we gave them the requested doctors note it was questioned by the nurse. There was a lack of empathy and most importantly again we were never called. 2. My daughter was walking around barefoot I'm not sure how long this took place because we were never told or notified. The school requires extra shows and socks and she has rainboots. There is no reason for my child to walk around school for who knows how long without any shows or socks on. Once again it was treated as a simple thing and hardly addressed. 3. My daughter told us she was hit by a door from one of the staff that works directly with her. This concerned us, and we always follow up with the staff when our daughter tells us something. This said the staff has treated my wife and very different when trying to communicate simple things like "good morning". She even said Bria didn't like her for some odd reason. When confronted about the door situation her response we "it was an accident". 4. My daughter went an entire day without eating lunch. This was the final straw for us. I picked my daughter up at 5 pm and the first thing she said to me was "Daddy I didn't eat lunch today". I was concerned but questioned her and she insisted she didn't eat. Upon arriving home, I checked her lunchbox to validate her claim and there was a sticky note on there from her ticker that read, "We still don't have power for our microwave... Likely not tomorrow as well. Thanks!! Mrs. Peterson". This is wrong on so many levels. We never received a phone call so that we could possibly provide another meal. There were so many options that were not explored for my daughter to eat. Heating the meal up in another class. Giving her the paid hot lunch, the school provides and so many others. Instead, her teacher gave her a graham cracker or two and let her watch all the other kids in the class eat their lunch because she was the only one that didn't get a feed that day. Mind you she is the only African American shouldn't in her class, so this is more than just negligence of a child but socially bias behavior. When confronted by my wife, the teacher showed a lack of empathy. She stated, "I didn't think it was that big of a deal". Once my wife explained her distaste for her lack of empathy, I clam but passionate way, the teacher began to weep and blamed it on her being pregnant.

We switched from public school to LCA and are grateful for the experience. Our children have…read morereceived a better education than they received at public school and in a much better environment - not only are other students respectful during class but teachers care about the well being of the students. Our kids are very athletic and we have one that is attending a D2 school on athletic scholarship and our other children are competing in sports and getting play time and those sports that LCA does not offer, like Lacrosse, they are able to play through our neighborhood high school. We have been very pleased with our experience here.

Would give zero stars if I could. Please don't send your kids to this school. The teachings do not…read morereflect the Bible and represent hateful, discriminatory views. If you don't want to cause trauma to your kids, don't send them to Life Christian. As a former "lifer" and one of the few student athletes to go on to play D1 sports, and someone who's family has been a large part of the church for 4 generations, I can speak with certainty the trauma this place causes. I've watched it decline more and more since I graduated. The grade level education does not meet the level of education at public schools and especially does not compete with other private schools. Many students who left Life Christian felt under prepared at other schools because of the gap in education. Math and science programs are purposely under funded. The nepotism, rampant misogyny and over sexualization of young women, and unhealthy power dynamics should send any parent running from this institution.

Update: Since I'm being told I'm making things up, this was…read morefrom the late 90s to early 2000s. Early on, there was a great principal (mr Hayes?) But that changed. I'm not sure if you recall the reason why Mr. B* (censored for privacy, but if you know, you know) was asked to leave as a teacher, but I'll leave those details to you. There's the time Mrs. S* told the girls that we needed to wear makeup because otherwise we wouldn't be pretty enough for anyone to become Christians, or the time that she told a boy that if he needed to pee, he could just hold it by tying a rubber band to his genitals, or something along those lines. I heard that the high school had to change its name after the principal embezzled, or something like that? Whatever the case, the entire school system was absolutely wild and I know multiple people from the school have a bunch of stories of this place as well.

At Concordia, they taught my boy on HIS level. Now, both my children are in the school and they have been fantastic through the COVID-19 crisis. The school provided iPads for all the students. All the teachers met everyday with the kids for half our and once a week privately in Zoom meetings. Although the school is a private school and survives on monthly tuition, they allowed us to stop payments while our business was struggling due to the pandemic. Never once did they harass us about payments or the fact that we had not paid in months. Never once did the teachers treat our kids differently because we had not paid the school. The teachers and staff love all our kids and take very good care of them. They are concerned on a personal level with each student individually and work on tirelessly to help kids on the kids level. Your kid will NOT be cut out in the cookie cutter mold. They will be cared for and nurtured along their path to adulthood. And the review about a male teacher spooning kids from a different post is false. The school has no male teachers at the lower grade levels. Neither the early learning center, which is separate from the school, nor the elementary school have male teachers, so either the reviewer was confused about another school, or spreading rumors.
