The Montgomery Academy

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• K-12
• 62 reviews

Senior: The Montgomery Academy allowed me to excel academically and taught me work ethics and leadership. With a great staff, I was given the opportunity to thrive throughout my four years and I learned how to become independent and responsible for things such as time management. The Montgomery Academy also inspired my class to become leaders. Leadership was an important aspect of the Academy because we are taught that it only takes one person to start a movement that could help better the communities around us. Overall, my four years at the Academy were a success and the school deserves recognition for helping me achieve excellence.

Saint James School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 177 reviews

Junior: Saint James has been a great decision for my education. As I begin my search for the perfect college, I feel confidant that I will be able to adapt, learn, and handle anything I face academically. Our athletic programs have pushed me to always continue working towards a goal, no matter how difficult it may be. The Arts programs at Saint James have inspired me to continue looking into those activities as I go to college. The Theatre and Chorus directors have not only given me a wonderful hobby, they have prepared me for college level courses in the Arts. There are many inviting, wonderful people at Saint James. If you are new to Montgomery and do not have ties to certain families, it can be difficult to fit in immediately. I highly suggest getting into an activity you enjoy and making friends through that activity.

Trinity Presbyterian School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 93 reviews

Senior: Great School! Small school environment with plenty of great teachers! Christian teaching and a very close group of students. Almost everyone is involved in extracurricular activities and amazing academics. Plenty of AP classes to take advantage of and will be prepared for college if properly taken advantage of. Great college counselors to help you make a college decisions, apply for scholarships, and prepare for interviews. Students are constantly pushed academically, spiritually, and physically. They will grow into men and women ready to take on the world if they properly utilize the opportunities Trinity gives them. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Alabama Christian Academy

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 104 reviews

Senior: I have attended Alabama Christian Academy for fourteen years now, and I can honestly say it's been pretty great! Of course there have been hard times, but that comes with life. Overall the atmosphere is pretty nice. I've enjoyed the school spirit most of our students have and the drive to succeed. Our teachers are also super helpful, because they are willing to work with you to make sure you can perform to the best of your ability in their class. The only thing I would want to change is some people's attitude toward administration. Yes, they can be annoying with rules, but they do it for a reason, and they just want what is best for us.

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• PK, K-12
• 59 reviews

Alum: My time at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School was amazing! I made so many friends that will last me a life time, I grew in an unbelievable way in my faith and was shaped as a person in my 13 (I went to Kindergarten. I did not fail a class!) years of schooling with the "knights" as they call themselves. I also had some teachers that I know for a fact I will keep in touch with over the years and use them as references on job applications because of the bond we shared over some of the years I was there. My other siblings attended (and 1 still does attend) the school and they would give you the same review! Also they got a new gymnasium for their Athletics department and it looks like a college gym!

Eastwood Christian School

• Private School
• Montgomery, AL
• K-12
• 24 reviews

Senior: Eastwood is a place where we combine the facts of the world around us with the truths we know about God. It’s a place where we’re constantly being told God’s truths and being encouraged in them and for that I’m truly thankful. The teachers there are some of the nicest most generous people I know and they’re always willing to go out of their way to help you. The academics are challenging, but not too difficult. The culture at Eastwood is unlike any other. With only a little over 100 students in the 7th-12th Upper School, we really are a tight knit family. Everyone knows everyone and you can find friends in any grade. Sports are primarily parent driven, which is a downside, but you get the opportunity to try your hand at any sport, something I really enjoyed. The drama program is absolutely excellent and the spring musical is a highlight every year for the students. Overall Eastwood has been a good experience.

Prattville Christian Academy

• Private School
• Prattville, AL
• PK, K-12
• 71 reviews

Parent: We’ve had a great experience at PCA with our 3 kids. In particular, our daughter is 13 and has mild cerebral palsy which has impacted her mobility. Her teachers let her out a few minutes early between class changes to avoid her getting trampled in the hallway and allowed a friend to accompany her when needed. This year a student noticed the big distance she was walking to and from the carpool line and came up with an idea for a special drop off point to shorten the distance for all students with a handicap. Administrators contacted me and had it implemented in no time. What a blessing! With the help of some awesome teachers, she overcame her fear of doing presentations in class. It takes her a little longer to process some concepts, and her teachers allowed her a little extra time for tests. We love PCA and have been so thankful for the positive and supportive environment.

Parent: I only rate VBS a four because I think there is always room for improvement. VBS definitely provides a Christian education that prepares students for college. I have four children that went from kindergarten through high school. All four have degrees in different fields. They are now working in their careers as a doctor, financial assistant, engineer, and nurse. I thank God for the dedicated teachers that help prepare my children for life.

Senior: My experience at New Life has been pretty great the past few years. I came in 10th grade and made many good friends. I think my favorite thing about this school is that it is a God centered school and the teachers and friends you make there will be friendships for a lifetime. The teachers are great, also. They are all looking out for your best interests. They continue to help you when you are in college if you need someone to talk and ask questions too. It’s a good school.

• 14 reviews

Senior: I enrolled in Success Academy my Senior year. Prior to my Senior Year, I attended a school where bulleying was prevalent and learning was not a primary focus. Because of this grades plummeted. Transferring to Success Unlimited changed all of this. The teachers and administrators genuinely cares for the students. Academics is the main focus, and if a student needs one on one help, there’s always someone willing to help. Success is a great school, and I recommend it to anyone!

Senior: I made great friends here. The staff are very supportive and push you to do your best. The sports programs are growing. Our students are all very close and support each other at sporting events. The school lunches are overpriced, small portioned, and taste only fair at best. I would like to see those improve.
