    Such a loving, nostalgic, hidden gem! Great ratios, adorable weekly themes, extremely low turnover,…read moreand loving family environment. Miss Lori puts her heart and soul into this school and kids are well prepared for Kinder.

    I've had my son at All Stars Academy for a whole school year now. I cannot say enough good things…read moreabout ASA and the owner and head teacher Lori. She has nearly 25 years experience teaching preschool children, and it is evident. I don't know how she has so much energy, but she is always smiling and excited to see the children. The director and other teachers are also wonderful. They love these kids and know how to show it. The school is run with an underlying Christian theme, such as "God made you, and he loves you very much." But attending students have various religious backgrounds. They love like Jesus, but leave the preaching to the parents. One thing I was looking for in a preschool was a good balance between academic learning and play. ASA hits the nail on the head. They present units of learning such as space, winter, farms, etc. on a level the children can understand. They study letter names and sounds, numbers, counting, adding by counting, colors, a little sign language, a little spanish, and do lots of accompanying crafts. The class is a mix of kids ages 3-5 (up to pre-k year). You might think the curriculum would either be too challenging for the littles or too easy for the bigger kids, but Lori and her staff do an amazing job of differentiating the curriculum. For those who Lori is preparing for kindergarten, she gives handwriting worksheets, but my son only did those if he wanted to because he still has another year before kindergarten. In February, Lori takes each pre-k kid aside to assess their reading levels and begins an individualized reading program. Each child is encouraged to take an on-level book home for practice. Lori is very encouraging, but not pushy because she recognizes that kids learn to read at all different paces. One of the most appealing things about ASA is their flexibility of hours. They have a regular program M-F 9am-1pm, but you may choose any combination of days. Extended hours are also available upon request. What other school does that? My son only goes 3 days a week, but if I need to add another day one week, I just pay a little extra for it then. Last couple of notes: The classroom is very bright and full of activities for free play. They go on parent-chaperoned field trips to places like the zoo, Crowe's Nest Farm, and a pumpkin patch. There are several parties and special events throughout the year, in addition to two formal performances.

The staff and lay leaders are an absolute joy - very sincere and welcoming! Our 9th grade boys (twins) are very involved in the youth/high school program and confirmation. Having worked in youth ministry at a few churches over the years, and Bethany is the first church where I've found those attending the church (parents and other volunteers alike) where the church community steps up and take initiative in all aspects of ministry. We enjoy volunteering, both separately and as a family. While we attend in person at the 11am service, there is a range of traditional to contemporary worship styles, times and available in person and online.

I have had several people recommend Fellowship Christian Academy before I even started looking around. I started bringing my kids here when they were three years old. Their teacher was so great, so so great. Even after they moved on from her class they would give her a huge hug every time they saw her in the hall. Now they are in the 4-year-old class and meet three times a week, and it has been such a great experience for both myself and my kids. So much that I already want to have my youngest go next year since the other two will be moving on to kindergarten, and it's such a warm place where the staff are so helpful and friendly. I'm sure that the director doesn't know my name, but she definitely knows who both of my kids are, and she is always willing to talk to me whenever I have a question. She also meets with the kids each week during chapel, which my kids have really loved. There are so many places to take your children to, and they range so much in quality as well as affordability. The Fellowship is such a great price, I believe, for what I get, and I have never had anything but a positive experience there. I know my kids are safe with the staff, and I especially love their teacher this year. I can see how much she cares for these kids. We have seen her a few times at the market and she greets them, genuinely happy to see them. It's such a reassuring, peaceful feeling knowing that your kids are in good hands.

The Dell Performing Arts Center is a small, cozy theater with great views of the stage from every seat. The intimate setting made for a wonderful experience. Parking was convenient, with a lot right in front of the theater and overflow parking available. Check-in for the show was smooth and hassle-free, and there's even a concession stand before you enter. The audio quality was excellent, making every performance clear and engaging. Overall, a fantastic venue for performances--well-organized, comfortable, and a great addition to Austin's arts scene!

    We've had 2 students graduate from St. Andrew's in Austin. One entered in 6th grade, the other in…read more9th grade. They did have to take the ISEE entrance exam as well as submit their transcript/report cards from the public schools they'd previously attended as well as sit for interviews. Our kids are also scholarship kids - we are a lower middle-class family who can only afford private school with very significant financial aid. Things to know: You need to start the application process early and turn everything in on time. There is a waiting list to get in, openings fill quickly, and it's not just academics or money that get your kid in - the interview and their other extracurriculars and interests matter. YES, there are some cocky, elitist kids (and parents), as you'll find in most private schools, but there are also many kind, down-to-earth, wonderful students, families, and faculty at SAS. The overall environment is warm and welcoming, and my kids both found a social group there. We didn't love every teacher, but overall, the academic experience was great, and most teachers are both knowledgeable and supportive. Their academic advising program is really helpful because your student has an adult on campus to help advocate for them if they are struggling in class or having difficulty with a teacher. The college counseling program for juniors and seniors is also a serious advantage over public schools. St. Andrew's centers its education around 4 pillars - service, academics, arts & athletics. All students participate in all four pillars, meaning they all have to do arts, they all have to do sports, they all have to do community service, and they all must maintain their grades. I'm grateful our kids were encouraged and held accountable to complete service in the community because it builds empathy and a perspective outside their own lived experiences in the world. St. Andrew's does have chapel daily, but all faiths are welcome, and we found the Episcopal tradition encourages asking questions and thinking deeply about what you believe but also compassion and acceptance of other faiths. I had kids who were not really athletic and didn't want to do sports, but because everyone had to do sports, they weren't the only kids on the team who didn't have prior sports experience, and it turned out to be great for them. They both tried 2 new sports and didn't regret it. Where can a student join a team sport in high school, with no prior experience, in the public school setting? Just about nowhere. So, the team sports experience was a real positive for our family. Our kids are artsy, one a painter and writer and the other a vocalist, and they both found places to excel in their interests, through studio art and building a portfolio, to creative writing as an elective and the opportunity to be published in the school literary journal, through musical theater and the competitive select choir. Academically, there are not many AP classes, compared to some public schools who offer pre-AP and then AP classes, because the standard-level classes at SAS are taught at what would be considered AP level in public schools; however, there are still advanced upper-level AP courses in math, science, history, and languages. Their language program is also exceptional: they only offer Mandarin, Latin & Spanish, but they start in 6th grade and go all the way through AP-level language courses, so a kid can graduate with 6 years of language, and there are many opportunities for competitions and trips that deepen their understanding of the language they have chosen. Both of my students have mild learning disabilities, but we found the support they needed to build good study habits, seek out tutoring, and advocate for themselves, and though they may not have been in the top of their class at St. Andrew's, they did well on SAT/ACT and found themselves more than prepared for college and have experienced success after leaving SAS. They're both grateful for their time at St. Andrew's, and we as parents believe it was definitely worth it.

    Our journey with Hill Country Christian School began in a unique and very personal way. I first…read morejoined the Hill Country family as a middle school girls volleyball coach in 2019 and was later hired on as a teacher in 2022. What I couldn't have predicted then was how much joy this place would bring to my family and me. Very early on, I knew in my heart that I wanted my own children to experience that same joy, love, and purpose. One of the most beautiful things about Hill Country is how the school truly lives out its mission: to know your child, love your child, and prepare your child. The teachers go above and beyond in caring for my child not just academically, but spiritually and emotionally. Every day, I see the intentional ways they invest in him, and it's deeply moving as both a parent and an educator. The spiritual growth I've witnessed in my son has been incredible. He's only in Pre-K, but already he's learning to pray, engaging with God's Word, and building a foundation that will last a lifetime. Hearing him pray every night before bed, without prompting, is one of the greatest blessings I could ever ask for as a mom. What makes Hill Country especially impactful is how every subject is taught through a Biblical worldview. It's not just about teaching math or reading; it's about teaching truth, character, and purpose. Our children are learning to love Jesus through every lesson and every experience. This matters so much to our family because we want our children to grow in their relationship with Christ, not just know about Him. Hill Country creates endless opportunities for families to be involved and serve together. It's a place where students and families are encouraged to be the hands and feet of Jesus in every area of life. That kind of culture is rare. If I had to choose one main reason to recommend Hill Country to a friend, it would be this: community. You will find a deeply caring, Christ-centered community here. We support each other in tangible ways through prayers, shared meals, encouraging words, and acts of kindness. It truly feels like family.

    We had a very disappointing experience at Hill Country Christian School. My son struggled to stay…read moreengaged and focused, and instead of working with us as parents, the principal, Tracy, took it upon herself to intervene in ways that crossed boundaries. After I had specifically told her I would speak with both the teacher and my son's pediatrician, she removed my son from class and told him directly that he needed to see a doctor for his behavior. When I picked him up, he was crying and asking, "What's wrong with me, Mom?" No child should be put in that position, and that conversation should never have been had with him -- that was my responsibility as his parent. This was not an isolated incident. I had emails to teachers go unanswered, and overall the partnership we expected from a private school simply was not there. Since leaving, I've learned that other families have had similar experiences, where the principal seemed to push an ADHD diagnosis despite disagreement from teachers and parents. In our case, both my son's third- and fourth-grade teachers at HCCS and his pediatrician did not believe he had ADHD. When my son transferred mid-year into public school, the difference was night and day. His new teacher said he was incredibly bright, just likely bored, and he immediately began thriving. He made straight A's, came home happy, and was excited to return to school each day. The contrast showed me that the problem was not with my son but with the way he was being handled at HCCS. We expected much better from a private institution, but sadly, our experience was one of disappointment, lack of communication, and a principal who placed her opinion above parents, teachers, and even doctors.
