Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews

Parent: We moved to Belgreen the middle of my son's 9th grade year because he was being bullied at the school he was attending. The first thing the principal of Belgreen said to me was that she couldn't guarantee the same thing wouldn't happen there, but she could guarantee that it would be handled differently. His grades improved and he made friendships that will last a lifetime. Our experience with the school, staff, students and parents was awesome!... Read 12 reviews

Senior: I have loved my experience at Phil Campbell High School. The teachers and staff are very dedicated to the students. I will leave my school prepared to start my college experience and wonderful memories that will last me a life time. I like that our school is a smaller distract because it allows the teachers to have more access to one on one assistance. It also creates opportunities for the students to have stronger bonds with one another. Although, that could be problematic if they decide to attend a big university. They will not have the same one-on-one help they had before. I would like for our school to include more "real world prep" and ACT studies because I struggle with those things myself. I know that schools may not have prep classes, but I think we need a course that show you how to write checks, how to fill out taxes, and etc.. Things that we will have to do once we graduate. I believe that I'm not the only one who would like the chance to better themselves in these areas.... Read 35 reviews

Parent: As the parent of two children in the lower school, I am extremely pleased with SSSAS. The Early Saints teachers make each day engaging for my 3-year-old. The monthly units the ES learn have prompted my son to apply what he’s learned to the world around him (the food unit they completed prompts a nightly discussion about which foods on his plate are muscle foods, brain foods, etc.). His teachers started a recent parent conference with 3 very specific adjectives to describe my son and given the examples they gave me, it is clear that really understand him as a whole child. My experiences with JK and K were also nothing short of fantastic; even during the pandemic the teachers were able to connect with my son. The K and 1st grade teachers have also provided my son a solid educational foundation; they have identified his strengths and given additional challenging work so that he hasn’t been bored. Any issues I’ve had have been quickly and appropriately addressed by his teachers.... Read 133 reviews
