Senior: Tuscaloosa Academy is a great school. A good school for academics. I like how this school introduces the ACT to you at a young age, you start taking the ACT in 7th grade. I also like how you can have a connection with your grade and have a great bond with your teachers. The classes and teachers pushing you to be great and understand things. One thing I would like to change is more diversity in the school and more ethnical appreciation. Overall, it's great.... Read 46 reviews

Niche User: TMSE is the best thing that has happened to my children since I moved to Tuscaloosa. The academics are brilliant, the culture is EXACTLY what I wanted to find in a town where it's difficult to be different. Whatever my kids want to become, they will be free to do so in this school. The IB curriculum drives this culture and will help them go out into the world and be all the things I'd be proud of - knowledgeable, tolerant, open-minded risk takers who will have practiced considering the viewpoints of others and can, should their temperaments allow, become effective leaders wherever they go. The parent environment and culture is also ideal for me, and I have found good friends with whom I can spend time while our kids play together.... Read 7 reviews

Senior: American Christian Academy has given me a better experience in primary AND secondary school than I ever could have dreamed of. The two athletics teams I was part of maintained a great balance between enjoyable and competitive, the clubs and organizations were plentiful, and the students were extremely kind (OF COURSE we didn't all get along...it IS high school we're talking about here; nonetheless, I had barely any problems at all with students and it was a rarity when major issues did occur between students). The most impressive and unique aspect of ACA in my opinion is the teachers. They are incredibly passionate about what they do and are very caring and understanding toward their students, and it makes such an impact. As for academics themselves, the math and science departments need some work; however, the English department is top notch. The biblical education was also phenomenal, especially once I got into the upper grades and we began to dabble in apologetics.... Read 88 reviews

Alum: Attended Englewood during the 2008- 2011 school year. Home of the patriots, participated in activities. Helped volunteer in the fall festival during my senior year in high school. Was a member of the school newspaper, interviewed teachers and students. During severe weather, fire, or lock down drills, was provided with best care. Taught some skills that became helpful in high and were rememorable . Not many clubs , but the school had lots of activities . Provided school dances for students who excelled in academics ....

Parent: My daughter has attended TCS since K4 and we couldn't be more proud of the Christian and Academic Education she has received. It is a college preparatory school with highly qualified Christian teachers. Due to these teachers ( and the hard work of my child, :), she was able to maintain a high grade point average to be entitled to take advantage of the school's Early College program which allowed my child to take college credited classes beginning her 11th-grade year. I couldn't recommend a better school if you are looking first and foremost a Christian based, biblical worldview and college-prepartory school.... Read 21 reviews
