We have been with Columbia Academy EMS for two years. It’s been a great experience with all of the teachers being very caring, hard working, and dedicated. Every teacher has bent over backwards to help. The administration is approachable and friendly. The director has been there for a long time and knows all the kids by face where that is really rare. The school’s head is very dynamic and insures that there’s no bullying and that every staff member is accountable and evaluated and the instruction is sound. The communication is the best with newsletters or phone calls and a big Friday email that tells everyone everything that needs to be known. There are never any secrets at CA. It’s a great family-like school for kids who need a comfortable atmosphere, no bullying, small class size where the kids needs are known and met, a place to go when other schools won’t open for working parents…and they even give every child a tablet. Cost is reasonable instead of paying out 30 grand for a large school where your kid won’t be given as much 1 to 1 attention…and then you can’t save up money for a high school. It has been a much better option than the public school.
