Senior: I am very grateful for being able to attend Notre Dame Academy. I find that the teachers care a lot about their student's success. There has been a change in administration resulting in some teachers leaving which is my only negative about the school. Otherwise, I feel very prepared to go to college next year!...Read 108 Reviews

Parent: Our family has been a part of the Lexington Christian Academy community for five years. Our child is in the Upper School, is thriving and loves LCA.2020 has been a year like no other and LCA has risen to the challenge to provide an excellent education. When the pandemic hit, LCA was able to pivot to online learning within a couple of weeks. The administration and teachers worked tirelessly to create a learning experience as close to what is provided in-person at LCA. The technology, support, consistent communication to all parents and students was in place...This school year, LCA has been in-person with some remote days. The transition between the two has been seamless. LCA has taken all the necessary precautions to allow students and staff to be in-person at LCA. Smaller student cohorts, daily health checks, clear safety guidelines, and social distancing have given us confidence in sending our child to LCA. ...We highly recommend Lexington Christian Academy!Read 69 Reviews

Works Here: I feel abundantly blessed to work at Calvary Chapel Academy. The staff is like a family and all support one another in Christ through all of life's ups and downs. We're encouraged to teach students not just teach subjects, reaching each student individually, seeking to build ambassadors for Christ who are also ready to be productive members of society. Where some schools seem to emphasize academics over spirituality or vice versa, Calvary Chapel Academy successfully emphasizes both. Parents have told me innumerable amounts of times how blessed they are with the self-sacrifice of the teachers and how thankful they are to have their children in a godly environment where they are also getting a great education. I literally cannot picture being more satisfied or fulfilled with any other occupation than how God has used me at this school!...Read 16 Reviews

Parent: This is the unicorn childcare center every parent is looking to find for their child: excellent administration, amazing teachers, and nice, clean facilities. The average tenure at this particular center is over ten years for the teachers our kids have had and there has been no turnover for our kids in the last few years. ...Bright Horizons as a corporation is a bit much sometimes, with the schools in our area cancelling Halloween costumes last year to be inoffensive, or something like that, in addition to changing their original 2020/2021 stance on masking (impairs child development, which Bright Horizons recognized before the rest of the country came to the same conclusion) to the current extension of masking despite the state no longer mandating it. Some parents may want this, others do not. We are staying on with BH, despite the potential politicization of their policies, because of how amazing this particular center is and because we love the teachers and administrators...Read 1 Review
