They're always there to help and provide guidance when we need it. One thing I really love about Trinity Prep is the positive vibe on campus.

Parent: My children LOVE this school – from the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum. (SN) integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Though it is a small school, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your child – their good behaviors and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. Great team – great school!... Read 122 reviews

Parent: My children had an amazing experience starting in first grade and continuing all the way through graduation. The teachers are incredible - committed to providing exceptional instruction through strong, personal relationships. There is an enormous variety of extracurricular activities led by teachers and coaches that allowed my children to pursue what they loved outside of the school day. The school is safe, inclusive, and committed to excellence in all ways that directly impact students. Highly recommend for families that are looking for an educational experience that truly prepares students for a successful future!... Read 43 reviews

Parent: TFA has provided the complete package for our family! From the Christ based foundation our children are led and taught to be better people prepared for the real world. We have children in the lower school, upper school and a daughter that graduated last year. She was accepted to every school that she applied to and qualified for several academic scholarships, due to the excellent education she received at TFA. The facilities are first class, and the school campus is extremely safe. We have extra piece of mind knowing that the faculty and staff put safety first on campus. There are multiple school resource officers constantly on campus and well-trained staff in the event of an emergency. That gives us much comfort in knowing that our kids are safe while on campus! Sports are another exciting bonus provided by the first academy! TFA coaches and assistant coaches teach our children to compete and play hard, but always put Christ first. We are extremely blessed to have our kids at TFA!... Read 246 reviews

Parent: Fantastic school! It is like a family. It is our second year here (K and 1st grade). Administration and staff are easy to reach and are very responsive. My daughter absolutely loves it here and is appropriately challenged academically and is excelling in her studies. Just the morning and the evening car loops clue you in into how well this school is organized: efficient and everyone is smiling. Love it here!... Read 30 reviews

Parent: Each student at Geneva is known and loved by their teachers. The staff work to not only inspire and form students' minds, but their hearts and character as well. They teach them to think critically, which is so rare these days! They make learning fun and memorable, with each grade sharing in immersive, elaborate experiences that fortify the learning they have done that year -- Egypt Day, Greek Day, Pioneer Day, etc! We also love the authentic community found amongst the parents. As Geneva grows, its challenge will be to keep the same personal, connected environment that focuses on a truly Christian classical education as opposed to turning into "just another big private school" in Orlando....

Senior: Overall, Foundation Academy has been the best Christian private school experience. For only attending one year, I can safely say I have felt fully welcomed by everyone around me and have enjoyed every second of my senior year so far. From the moment I stepped on campus, I was greeted with open arms by the administration, students, and teachers. The students around me immediately included me and made me feel like I had been there for four years of high school. The school provides many extracurricular activities, sports, and theatre interests. I have enjoyed going out and supporting my school in the many athletic events we partake in. I would highly recommend Foundation Academy to anyone interested.... Read 146 reviews

Senior: Orangewood Christian is not only academically challenging but also highly focused on Christian values and creating disciples of Jesus. There is a mixed culture of students finding their journeys as Christians, new or familiar with the fair, and faculty passionate about the God they serve and their students. Academically, Orangewood offers high-level classes, including AP and Duel-Enrollment, and a wide array of electives in sports and fine arts. While some things are in still in progress to expand the school and create an effective atmosphere, Orangewood Christian continually encourages and produces students of excellence in academics and character....

Junior: I am currently a junior at Pine Castle Christian Academy. Next year when I am a senior, It will be my 15th year at this school. It's the only school I've ever known and I'm so glad I've had the privilege of attending this school. Teachers at Pine Castle Christian Academy truly care about you and furthering your education. At Pine Castle you become apart of a family and have so many people from different backgrounds. The best things about PCCA is the arts department there is drama, choir, dancing, video tech, band, art and photography. You really get to explore your talents and get closer to God in the process. At PCCA you aren't just a number, but someone that is really cared for and loved. I've seen the ups and down of Pine Castle, but right now it is at a high. There really has been an amazing change in the past two years! God is doing great things with Pine Castle Christian Academy and I'm so glad I get to be apart of that!... Read 27 reviews

Alum: When i first came to crenshaw academy i didn't like it . Caused it wasn't like the schools i was used to . Big ;have a lot of extraricular activities , and a lot of students. While at crenshaw academy it was the contrary . I didn't have any personal space at all caused it was small, and no after school program. I was sad during my first week at the school, but the students ; teachers and staffs were amazing. There were caring ; had a lot of patience and were also great listener . Because of them i had a great experience at the school and din't even see what the school lacked of duing my time in it . Eventually what i would like to change is the lacked of after school programs. Caused students after school they want to have amuzement , that's the only rhing i think they should change .

Parent: I have a high schooler going into her 8th year at One School. What I really love about this school is the heart the teachers have for the scholars, they show genuine love and care for them individually, academically and spiritually, my daughter even calls one of her teachers her spiritual mentor. This school challenges her and provides different experiences to help her grow that can be used in the "real world" later in life. She is a theatre kid and loves the many stage opportunities she can participate in throughout the year whether it's an open mic performance or a musical/play. She absolutely loves her teachers as well, going to school isn't a chore like most places, there is always something new and exciting happening which makes every day an adventure!... Read 71 reviews

Senior: It is an amazing school! The teachers care about your education but also you as a person. The school provides lots of fun activities for the high school to bond and get to know one another. Our school is K-12 and it feels like a family rather than just a school because a lot of the kids have been then for many years together. The academic expectations are high and the school is a university model both of which push its students to work hard and obtain academic success and gain skills that will last a lifetime!...

Parent: This school has changed my son's life. Before coming here his schooling experiences had left him feeling defeated and spirit broken. He was not challenged nor was he allowed to excel. Socrates Prep has allowed him to spread his wings and fly. This school nurtures the whole child and embraces the reality that children need to grow not only academically but socially and emotionally as well. My son not only likes school, he now loves it! The teachers and staff are exceptionally dedicated to the art of educating and care deeply for the students and are committed to making sure they succeed. Our family is so grateful to have found such a positive learning environment.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: I've had two children graduate from this school. They both were able to dual enroll into college for their senior year because they were well prepared by this school. They both earned the Bright Futures Scholarship too. Both my children were above grade level, this school was able to continue to challenge them. The administrators take their time at enrollment to make a plan for each child to succeed and progress where they are. I'm thankful for all the teachers at this school, they go out of their way to help in any way that they can.... Read 9 reviews

Parent: My oldest of four children started Bishop Moore Catholic in 2013 and my youngest will graduate in 2030. It has been an amazing experience and every year, it only gets better. It's definitely a school that continues to strive for excellence and is ahead of the game in all aspects from education to athletics to facilities. Most importantly, my children receive their Catholic faith in every facet of teaching and will carry this with them on their future paths. GO HORNETS!... Read 321 reviews

Alum: I transfered to The Master's Academy in the beginning of my junior year along with my sisters (freshman & senior). It was daunting coming into the new school due to high expectations and standards as well the intense vigor of many of the classes. However, I was lucky and had a few key teachers who gave me guidance and encouraged me to improve and adapt to the school. However, my sisters weren't as lucky and had a few teachers that were unorganized and at times rude. I shared this experience in my senior year with an advisor of a society on campus. The leadership needs to grow and become consistent in their discipline of students and classroom standards. Despite its flaws, Master's helped me grow and gave me many opportunities and experiences I would not gotten elsewhere. I specifically want to command the arts department, who made my last years of highschool memorable, and the guidance team who helped me going into Master's and who helped prepare me for college and my future....

Parent: We love the ideals and foundations that OCP instills in our kids. It’s small enough of a school that you know everybody there and are part of the family. We like that it’s a warm, friendly Christian school in the middle of Orlando. The teachers are the friendliest, most down to earth and care about their students even after they complete their class. It’s not just a nice school though, they have so many sports and extracurricular opportunities for the kids and the curriculum challenges the children to Learn and be their best. The only thing I wish we had a OCP was a swim team and golf team. We love OCP!... Read 71 reviews

Senior: I started attending Altamonte Christian in the 4th grade, and am currently a graduating Senior. Having come from public school Altamonte Christian was a bit of a foreign environment for me, but choosing to attend is not something I will ever regret. Like all schools, it isn't perfect, but over the years it has been a home away from home. Its somewhere I feel wanted, and its somewhere I found friends. I found a support system and something consistent in my life, even when life threw many challenges and brought so much difficult change to my life and my family's. It's not just a school, it's a community, a family. The teachers and staff are more than ready to help you through the course of your education, and are determined to see you succeed. Altamonte Christian wasn't what I was looking for, but I am glad it brought such an impact to my life and the person I've become.... Read 23 reviews
