Cathedral Christian Academy Reviews

My son has attended this school since he was 2 years old. All of his teachers have been wonderful. They have always offered plenty of fun activities. Because of the small classes he has received a lot of one on attention. Because of this, he has already learned to read and write all of his letters and numbers. I believe will be well ahead of the game when he starts Kindergarten at a public school later this year.

Nathan Lafon is a very inexperienced director of this school and I do not believe either himself or his staff members act as christians. The staff members are not friendly and the teachers play favoritism with the students

My child was excited for 2 years about starting kindergarten. After recommendations from other parents, I enrolled her in Christian Academy. Unfortunately I had to pull her out of the school after 2 weeks. The teacher didn't seem to engage her. and while kindergarten should be fun and discipline, the focus seems to stress discipline. My child thought the teacher didn't like her. Her spirit was crushed and she cried in her sleep not wanting to go back. I spoke with the Principal and teacher and they were not able to change the situation. My child did not feel safe enough to talk to an adult when she got hurt on the playground. The first verse of the year was 'All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God'. While I know that to be true, I would have stressed first that God loves us all unconditionally.

My oldest son has attedned CCA since preschool and is now in the 5th grade. I love the caring and committed atmosphere this school has. My son has grown to be a caring and giving individual with leadership skills. I chose to move him to public school this year. We are in a very good district that has a high level of academics and expectations of the students. After being a CCA for 6 years he definitely received the benefits of a small classes that has prepared him for public education. This school has good academic curriculum that is equal to our good public schools. My youngest son attended PK and is now K and I intend to keep him there until the later grades to receive the same great start my oldest son did. I love this school.

My daughter has gone to Preschool at Cathedral for 2 years. She has done really well there. The teachers and staff seem very caring. My daughter was very attached and cried a lot the first few weeks of school. The teacher and assistant were very sensitive to that and helped her feel more comfortable. My daughter is finishing Pre-K right now and is reading and writing simple words!

The teachers are wonderful and the staff is friendly. Paent involvement is expected and plenty of activities are offered. Academics are pushed and I believe my kids are learning above the normal curve.
