Alum: I think my middle school experience was average, I say this because at that point in my life all I wanted to do is play call of duty and eat chips all day, so school would come second to pretty much everything. The reason I gave it 4/5 stars was because I love all the memories I made in CMS. Although I didn’t agree with some of the rules like the fact you couldn’t bring backpacks, I still think that my experience at CMS was decent.... Read 1 review

Senior: Yampah helped me follow my dreams and figure out what I want to do in my life. The staff is beyond supportive and the opportunities presented to me have changed my life. The downside is the student culture seeming to get worse every year until the it's no longer about taking advantage of more freedom to graduate early and further education but about partying and doing as little work as possible. I hope to see the culture turn back around for students to get the best education they can.... Read 2 reviews

Middle School Student: I moved to this school in the middle of my seventh grade year, and immediately noticed the welcoming and kind air of both the faculty and students. My only complaint was that some classes were less rigorous than I would have preferred. I greatly enjoyed being a part of the school’s track and field and wrestling teams.... Read 4 reviews

Senior: The Garden School (now Liberty Classical Academy) is a private University-Model School. It runs three days a week and assigns work to be completed on the remaining two days of the school week. The curriculum focuses on on of the four parts of the flow of western history every year : Antiquities, Christendom, Americas, and Modernity. This cycle is repeated every four years, so students who begin at Liberty in first grade will learn about each time period three times, first in elementary school, then once middle school, and then high school. This provides a multilayered view of history that challenges students like myself to engage with various texts from the time period being studied and begin to use the process of rhetoric to ask questions about ideas that have been built upon since first grade. Liberty Classical Academy, formerly The Garden School, has provided me with a diverse and stretching education and adequately prepared me for life after high school!... Read 4 reviews
