Freshman: I've only been going here one year now, but this school is amazing! After a devastating car crash, I was in a wheel chair for months. Administrators waited outside the school building every morning in order to help me get into the building, and all my teachers were extremely helpful during my recovery process. I feel challenged here academically, which is a breath of fresh air compared to public school. If I could give Fayetteville Academy a 6/5, I would!... Read 54 reviews

Junior: Riverside is a pretty good school. No school is perfect, but Riverside is close. The food is pretty good. We get chick-fil-a on Fridays, what could be better than that? I've been going to Riverside for barely a year, but i can see that about 90% of the teachers are actually concerned about our learning, not just passing the class. For example, my math teacher helped me bring my math grade from a C to a B+. That's gotta say something. Riverside also lets us juniors and seniors to take classes at FTCC, which helps us get a head start in furthering our education. Overall, I'd say that Riverside is a really good school...

Parent: We have had a wonderful experience during our first year at VCA. Our daughter's teachers have all been wonderful - she comes home every single day sharing something new that she's learned. They have encouraged her curiosity and instilled an eagerness to learn, which will serve her well in her academic journey. She has been loved on incredibly well by everyone in this school, from teachers, staff, and students alike. Our home life has been impacted positively by her attendance at VCA, as she shares stories and lessons from the Bible to her younger siblings and encourages conversation about Jesus and his will for our lives. She has made such sweet friendships this year and we are grateful that she has started young in surrounding herself with positive people who lift her up and who she has grown to love and care about too. We did not initially intend to enroll her in private school, but putting her at VCA has been an unexpected blessing that we are so grateful for.... Read 75 reviews

Senior: Fayetteville Christian is a school that truly values the importance of relationships! At this school I was able to develop meaningful relationships with my teachers and classmates. Along with this we are driven to be more than just good students, we are taught to be good people. Being in such an family oriented environment while being able to grow in my relationship with christ.... Read 93 reviews

Alum: When I first attended this school 8-9 years ago, I was surprised. Early attendance (we started school at August instead of September)? Early dismissal (May instead of June)? It was weird at first. Overtime, however, I began to love this school. The staff was nice, my middle school math teacher taught me well, and all my reading teachers give me a reason to love to read and write. My Spanish teacher encouraged me greatly to learn Spanish. and now I have a strong fervor to learn languages and cultures, due to the great diversity of my teachers (the middle school staff members). I wish I could've stayed to be apart of the second 9th grade class, but I was glad to be one of the graduating class members of 2016 (8th grade). Oh, Alpha. Oh, Alpha Academy, we learn. We learn~...

Junior: Berean is a great school for anyone that wants to learn in a safe, Christian environment. Berean really pushes having a good relationship with God, keeping up your grades, and participating in school activities. The teachers really care about you and try to help as much as possible with anything you have going on in or out of school. I would recommend Berean Baptist Acadamy for any Christian student that wants to pursue learning in a good environment.... Read 23 reviews

Middle School Student: I liked the teachers at Vanstory, and the students were not bad. I only ever came in contact with one bully in my time there. I loved the plays we always performed there, and the fact that they are actually educational, and I enjoyed them. I do wish that there were more after school activities, because there were only a few in my time there. Otherwise, Vanstory is an awesome school 👏... Read 1 review

Junior: I have been attending Freedom Christian Academy for 3years. It's pretty small school. However, teachers are amazing they actually try to teach students effectively and Biblically. Students are just amazing! They do really enjoy their life in FCA. We do also have some international students and they are hard workers. Majority of seniors do go to pretty decent college as well. I love my school and I am proud of to be FCA student.... Read 26 reviews

Senior: The teachers truly care about each student they have because the pay is not enough compensation to make an unwilling teacher attend. The teachers here are here out of love for their profession and good faith in the Lord, which is evident in their personal and professional lives. Being a small school means many different things for limitations on classes offered, but with options like dual enrollment and online AP classes, I am able to perform well despite having less staff. The school is tight-knit and allows for the development of social groups between grades.... Read 35 reviews

Parent: Both of my sons have attended Northwood Temple Academy (NTA) from Pre-K to graduation. I have had administrators and teachers poor love and commitment into my children's' education and spiritual readiness. NTA's mission statement speaks volumes with key words like "providing a Christ-centered education" and " nurturing today’s children and developing tomorrow’s kingdom leaders". NTA is more than a school, they are FAMILY. Thank you Northwood Temple Academy! ~ T. Teter... Read 38 reviews

Alum: At the moment (July 2017), Benhaven Elementary has been degraded as the school grows in age. But recent Fundraisers encourage a brand new version of Benhaven to be built in the following years. Teachers are loving to their students and the students love the fantastic events the school holds such as; Motivating Fundraisers, Field Day, Spaghetti Night often with a performance featuring the students, and even a mini Carnival. Students are motivated every year with a similar "Olympics" during review sessions before End-of-Grade Tests take place. In summary, Benhaven is innovative, motivational for students, and a loving haven for the "Benhaven Bulldogs".... Read 2 reviews
