This is a school where not only are students given one on one attention, they are also cared about…read moreas individuals. Each student is well known by their teachers & celebrated, encouraged & dare I say, loved? Valued? It is truly a unique place. In addition to that rarity, the school is FUN! They find ways to teach that are creative & engage kids because they are having a good time. This is not your average education but rather a living breathing education-full of excitement. For example, chemistry may be taught via cooking and biology through a mystery that needs to solved. The headmaster is a graduate of Waldorf (Steiner) school & has brought the excellence of that education to her program. You won't find ANYTHING else like this in South Florida. I can't think of many schools where a child is so well cared for emotionally as well as academically. If you are lucky enough to stumble upon this little gem in South Florida you won't want to pass it up. Unconventional? Yes. However, it WORKS. The children are receiving an A+++ education in an alternative setting with amazing educators who see their 'job' as a calling & are head and shoulders above other educators. Give it a try--they welcome any child to come for a day or two visit so that they can see first hand what it is all about. Your child will come home raving & will actually be EXCITED about a SCHOOL! Meet with the headmaster and see for yourself what an elegant, caring, extremely intelligent, strong and capable woman she is. I can say that I feel blessed that my son has the chance to attend this school. I could go on and on but I suggest that you check it out for yourself. Also, it is a private school and education of this quality cost money. What better investment is there though really? However, I should mention that that do have tuition assistance and will also help you look for any scholarships that you may qualify for so, don't let the fact that you have to pay tuition deter you from at least checking it out. Where there is a will there is a way. If every child were given a healthy place to grow and learn like this, the world would be a much better place. Heck! We should ALL be seen, honored and celebrated the way students are at this school! It is located in the Jewish Community Center however, it is NOT a religious school BUT it IS a 'spiritual' school in that the students are taught to care for one another, the greater community, the planet and environment and THEMSELVES. This being said, it is NOT some 'Hippy' school. It is a serious program and a lot is offered and expected from the students academically. I would say the classes are more akin to an undergraduate program at a good university. They are certainly far more challenging than a regular high school-private or public. The students are expected to research & write at a college level (They are WELL taught and guided to be able to do so). They all take Latin, do community service as well as internships in fields of their own interest. They research utilizing real scientific publications and are taught to properly use them. This is an exceptional college preparatory program. Upon graduation they should be able to coast on auto-pilot through an undergraduate degree. There is also a STRONG sense of community. No high school 'Clicks'. No one's excluded, there is NO bullying or teasing-PERIOD. All of these 'details' are paid close attention to by the staff. I could go on and on but , see for yourself. The headmaster's name is Wendy Weiner and she welcomes visitors. Mrs. Weiner is an exceptional human being. When she felt that South Florida was lacking an acceptable school for her two lovely daughters to attend--she OPENED her own school! Wow. That alone speaks volumes about her but she is also a warm, kind woman. She's strong and capable in a way that inspires others just through her presence. Her children are both amazing young women and demonstrate what an awe-inspiring mother Wendy is. Her eldest daughter is now attending college where she is a member of a co-ed 'Community Service' Fraternity. Clearly she is following in her parents footsteps and giving back to others. Mr. Weiner has also played an essential part in bringing Conservatory Prep to fruition. He is a warmhearted, friendly and earnest man. He works with sincerity and I swear the man has stealth skills! His modesty and humble way of keeping all the wheels in motion is admirable. A husband and wife team adds to the feeling of community that is rarely found anymore and set's a positive example for the children of a loving, intact marriage. Every detail in this tiny school has been considered and achieved. The students, faculty and parents/guardians form a community that touches my heart and feels more like an extended family than simply an institution of learning. "They're not the best at what they do, they're the ONLY ones that do what they do." ~Bill Graham

My experience at Calvary Christian Academy has been extremely disappointing. I've attended CCA…read moresince I was 18 months old and I've seen it all. While the school presents itself as caring and faith-centered, many teachers and administrators create an environment that feels judgmental and discouraging. Several teachers make rude or sarcastic comments toward students. Mr. Picon often makes snarky remarks and argues with students in an unprofessional way. Mrs. Rodriguez has also made passive-aggressive comments, including responding sarcastically when students are confused. Many students complain about how discouraging she can be. Mrs. Beal is also known for profiling students based on one mistake and continuing to treat them differently afterward. Students feel that she gossips about them with other teachers and administrators instead of handling situations professionally. She frequently walks the halls looking for minor uniform or dress code violations, such as rolled skirts, AirPods, lanyards, or even students wearing the "wrong" shirt on certain days. When confronted, she often comes across as rude and judgmental and does not show the grace or understanding that the school claims to value, despite constantly referring students back to the handbook. Mrs. Shawver is also difficult for many students to approach because of her rude, snappy attitude and the way she speaks to students. Mr. Amadeo frequently pushes his personal political beliefs onto students, even during biblical discussions where politics should not be the focus. He often presents his personal opinions as completely correct because "the Bible says so" and makes students feel unintelligent for questioning or disagreeing with him. Students have felt embarrassed in front of the class after being called "stupid" and "an idiot" for thinking that way and treated like their opinions were worthless for simply challenging a point or asking questions. Some staff members seem more focused on catching students doing wrong than helping them. Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Cole are known for strict dress code enforcement and often come across as judgmental when disciplining students. Some punishments also feel humiliating rather than helpful. There have been reports of inappropriate comments from staff, including Mrs. Cole calling girls "sluts" for rolling their skirts. Mr. Peters, one of the vice principals, often makes students feel intimidated rather than supported. Mr. Purtic makes some students uncomfortable by discussing personal topics too often and showing favoritism. Coach Leighton has also asked students overly personal questions that felt inappropriate. Overall, the environment at Calvary feels overly judgmental. Students often feel constantly watched, even outside of school, and there are concerns about administrators monitoring students' social media activity. The administration's handling of sensitive situations can also feel humiliating instead of supportive. Students are sometimes punished without clear explanations beyond being told to "refer to the handbook." As a Christian school, faith is emphasized, but students who struggle with faith or ask questions can sometimes feel judged instead of encouraged. Staff members also tend to involve themselves heavily in students' personal lives. There has also been a noticeable decline in student satisfaction, with many students wanting to transfer or leave the school. The school also places extremely high expectations on teenagers while reacting harshly when students make normal teenage mistakes. Instead of helping students grow or learn from situations, many students feel dehumanized, judged, and labeled for small things. The constant pressure, monitoring, and fear of punishment becomes emotionally exhausting and can seriously affect students' mental health. Rather than encouraging a genuine relationship with God, the environment often makes faith feel forced, performative, and connected to fear or shame instead of support, understanding, and personal growth. Overall, Calvary Christian Academy made me feel judged and uncomfortable rather than supported academically, socially, or spiritually. As much as this school stresses grace they never show it nor practice it and highly encourages snitching. In my opinion, it may be a good school for younger students, but I would not recommend it for middle or high school.

OK, I won't lie and tell you the place is without fault...I have an immediate family member who had…read morea problem with a staff member and quit attending, yet I have other immediate family members who still attend regularly, and are active within the congregation, other than simply attending. As for myself, I was a member here for 23 years--from the time I was baptized at 1 month old until I began attending a sister congregation closer to my home. I should add here that Holy Cross has run a Lutheran day school with varying grade levels since 1950: at one time, there was an infant care center, and for a few years, the junior high was complete through the 9th grade. I was in the first 9th grade class...I attended school there for ten years: kindergarten through grade 9. I mention this even though one could appear to bias the other, but when one's whole life six days a week for ten years is at the one location, much of the experience overlaps. As a member of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, Holy Cross Lutheran Church has always been rather conservative in its doctrine. But because of its location on a U.S. coast, its own local policies are a lot looser than in many Midwestern congregations. (This is just a fact I've learned living on both coasts and in the Midwest, active in the church wherever I have lived.) I have always found the people to be friendly here, still many around who remember me, but even those whom I had never met before have been very welcoming to me on the rare occasions that I have gone back to visit. This will always be my "home" congregation: no matter where I visit or where I move, Holy Cross is the ruler by which I measure all other churches. And consciously or not, every church I've been part of since leaving Holy Cross has been like a twin of Holy Cross because, as it is said, "There's no place like home" and Holy Cross feels like home because, for me, Holy Cross IS home.

The facility is clean and the staff is so nice. As I am Hispanic, I love that the women taking care of the infants are all Hispanic (personal preference). I love that they immediately told me all of the things they would need to care for him and that everything should be labeled. The fact that they need several changes of clothes, bibs, sheets, towels to keep him clean is a huge comfort for me. The fact that they requested detailed info about my son and what helps soothe/ease him etc is amazing. As a mom a big concern for me is leaving my baby with a stranger all day that doesn't know what he likes/dislikes. Also the fact that they have an app to communicate and send photos/updates throughout the day is so so great. They also include formula/baby food with is a huge plus. I honestly couldn't be happier.
