Southland Christian Academy

After leaving multiple messages, my husband and I stopped in for a tour. The director informed us that the reason for the lack of returned phone calls was probably due to school being at capacity. She refused to give us a tour and asked that we call for an appointment. She later said we could come back any other day from 9 – 12. Upon our return for a tour the following week, the director was unavailable for the tour, however we were escorted by a faculty member around campus. We noticed the following and quickly excused ourselves, a few things we observed; Food storage in the restroom cabinets, teachers in classrooms sitting in chairs while kids played with no structure, messy classrooms, children on the playground with no interaction, adults walking on and off campus with no check in, security concerns all around. The last straw: a little throws a play screw driver, no staff or faculty corrects or even acknowledged the behavior. Our tour guide the picked up the toy and threw it back into the toy bin. «Thank you, we’ve seen enough.

My daughter has been coming here for almost 5 years now and I cannot express how much of a blessing it has been. The teachers go above and beyond their job description to ensure that their students are doing well and lend an ear (and a hug) when needed. My daughter has been super blessed to have teachers not only give her a good education but also guide her in the ways of the Lord. She has come to know that she can go to her teacher or other staff members to pray with her over her needs. This has become a second home for her and she looks forward to going there every day.
The staff has always been more than amazing when it comes to keeping me up to date on things and has even been accommodating to my needs when they didn’t have to. Yes the campus is small but I cannot express the joy I get from knowing my child is loved at SCA. My daughter walks on campus and every staff member welcomes her by name. The class sizes are not jam packed like normal schools which means my child has the opportunity to work more closely with the teachers than usual.
Long story short, if you want a typical public like school atmosphere with a very large campus and crowded classrooms, this is not the place. If you want smaller class sizes and a family like atmosphere then it doesn’t get any better than SCA.

I called this place to receive some information on their preschool. Before I could even ask a question, the girl on the phone cut me off and said «We are not accepting kids right now!». She was so rude about it that all i could say was «Oh my God!». I guess by my response she realized she was wrong by the way she answered and started to be nice but I was over it. I just simply said thank you and that I wasn’t interested anymore. Based on what my neighbors recommend, they have a bad reputation for being rude and uncaring but I thought of giving them a chance first. Shouldn’t have even called!
