Shalom Christian Academy Reviews
Rating 3.98 out of 5 48 reviews
My parents enrolled my siblings and me at Shalom Christian Academy because it challenged us more than previous schools had and the teachers, faculty, fellow students and parents, coaches, and more created an inviting community for us to thrive in. Shalom Christian Academy holds a sense of community far deeper than any other one I have known and continues to cultivate this community inside the classroom and outside school hours on the court, fundraisers, events, and more. The best experience from my time at Shalom is not a single event, but rather my collective sophomore and junior years. Community was expressed deeply in these school years when I was struggling personally, on the volleyball court, and in my classes as each one of my friends and teachers stepped up to make me feel supported and cared for. Change often intimidates Shalom faculty, as many have been there for 10+ years, but it is necessary. Classrooms need to increase in numbers and size, as well as a larger gym.
I have been in the Shalom community since kindergarten, and this coming school year will be my last year at Shalom. I have had a wonderful experience at Shalom! I have made lifelong friends, received a great education with great, caring teachers, and learned many other life lessons. Although no school is perfect, I think Shalom Christian Academy is doing a great job compared to some other schools in and around other areas. I would like to see some changes in the dress code in terms of being more lenient and "changing with the times" because sometimes it is hard to follow guidelines when clothes are not sold that follow those guidelines. Also to maybe provide computers to students who do not have or can not afford one.
It is a great private school! I would give it 5 stars but in recent years, months, they have lost some of the core, foundations of what it means to be a Christian School.
