School Reviews

SJCA has been the perfect fit for my daughter! She loves going to school and has had wonderful teachers and friends for 3 years and counting. I appreciate how the staff communicates clearly and is available to discuss any questions. The academics are top-notch, and children are taught how to be a leader from a young age. Christian values are modeled by the staff, and there is a family atmosphere.

I am very pleased with the administration and how involved the principal is with the students and the families of SJCA. Very loving and supportive atmosphere and a real sense of belonging. Strong teachings from the bible and weekly chapel meetings. They really glorify God in everything they do.
