Parent: As a Montgomery Academy (MA) parent and employee for many years, I can tell you that MA is the best choice for high academic performance, individual development for each child, arts and sports. I love how their motto permeates all aspects of the learning community: "MA develops leaders committed to honor, scholarship, service, and the pursuit of excellence." I feel my child has wonderful opportunities to develop. I feel the strongest opportunities at MA are in the fine arts, Speech & Debate, amazing library, athletics, college entrance & scholarships, and a focus on serving our community. It is the best investment!... Read 74 reviews

Junior: I love this school so much. It has become my second home. The teachers are amazing, the people are amazing, everything’s amazing, except the food. The food gets pretty bad. I wish we had more AP class options, more extracurriculars, more sports options but despite that I love this school.... Read 186 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.... Read 102 reviews

Senior: Alabama Christian Academy has been a great experience for me. Alabama Christian creates a friendly unified environment by constantly trying to get students involved in various things. Alabama Christian Academy sets a perfect example great relationships between students and teachers. During my time at Alabama Christian Academy I have always been close with my teachers and felt like I have had a great relationship with each of them. Most of all Alabama Christian Academy has strengthened my relationship with Jesus Christ. Alabama Christian Academy constantly is teaching and preaching about how we as Christians should live our lives. ACA has been the biggest blessing on my life, and I’m proud to say I attend there....

Senior: I love the staff; they genuinely have the students best interest at heart! The school can be sort of nit-picky about certain rules revolving around the dress code but other than that, it is great! They do their best at providing a catholic education while simultaneously welcoming all christians and educating them on the differences. Honestly best school on Vaughn Road.... Read 74 reviews

Parent: Eastwood is a unique place. The teachers are not only capable, but are caring and are invested in their students' success inside the classroom as well as outside. Arts and Athletics programs support the Academic experiences in the classroom, providing opportunities for students to develop as a whole person. Truth is taught and students are taught to search for the Truth. The academics are rigorous. Teachers are helpful and most students are able to rise to the challenge. The student body is unlike any other. For the most part, there is a culture of inclusion and embracing differences. I am thankful for what this school has meant to our family.... Read 28 reviews

Senior: The teachers are wonderful, and everyone is incredibly kind. Campus is well-maintained, and there is plenty of opportunities for student-teacher relationships and one-on-one instruction. The students truly come first here and get the attention they need! My one complaint is lack of on-campus upper level high school classes as AP and Dual Enrollment classes must often be taken online. The school provides these opportunities, but it is unfortunate that the on-campus classes are so limited for that kind of advanced studying.... Read 89 reviews

Freshman: I attended Redland Elementary School for K-6. I was the third class to graduate after it opened. The teachers and education quality are just something that you don’t find anywhere else. Because students felt heard and loved, Redland has very few disciplinary issues. Redland builds character and the entire school feels like family. After going to middle school, I value how close I am with my fellow Redlanders. We rely on one another and are all very close and supportive.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: My four children attended Evangel since K-4, two of which are still students there, and two have now graduated from college. Our children have conveyed that they enjoyed their experiences at Evangel. The two that graduated were well-prepared for college courses and AP writing. One graduated college with a 3.3, and the other one graduated summa cum laude, and is on path to receive a masters at the end of 2021. Evangel was a major contributing factor in their overall academic success. Their many years of class and homework assignments at Evangel, poised them for good study habits and academic excellence in college. Their good grade point averages positioned them for scholarships and made college tuition less challenging.... Read 36 reviews

They understand that the children also have lives outside of school, so not too much work is given. They want the best for the students, and they will promise everyone a brighter future ahead!...

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. ... Read 7 reviews
