Torchlight Academy

I want to add on to what I was saying that when my kids were going to public school, they were labeled as behavior problem. Now, as they come to Torchlight Academy, I hope that they are surrounded by people who love and care about their education instead of just labeling them and trying to help them.

My son is going to be kindergartener here at Torchlight. So far, so good. I love it here, I love the atmosphere, all the teachers. I met Mr. Rogers, one of the 1st grade teachers and a couple of transportation. I think he is going to be a good fit for here.

Torchlight is number one! Thank you.

Torchlight is the number one Academy. Noah Alan will be here. Thank you, guys.

I'm a Torchlight parent. The teachers are all really nice and Doctor Blue is awesome!

This will be my daughter’s second year going to Torchlight this Saturday. She will be in the 4th grade, and we love it here at Torchlight Academy. Thanks.

My name is Brianna and my son just loves Torchlight light Academy.

Torchlight is a wonderful school. They're helping the kids grow and learn about the community by helping each other. All sorts of ethnicities, plus, they're having a lot of fun. We have a young daughter about to come here soon too. We really enjoy the hospitality of the people here. It's great!

I love Torchlight academy! This is the first charter school that my daughter went to and graduated from as far as a charter school. Mr. and Mrs. McQueen are two of the best people I have ever met. I love them I love them I love them. Anyone who don't know about Torchlight academy need to get to know about it because it's one of the best schools you can send your children to and now my granddaughter is a proud student of Torchlight academy getting ready to be her first year graduation as a kindergarten student. Keep up the good work Torchlight! What school do you go to? Torchlight!

We love torchlight. My Daughter has been coming here since kindergarten. We love the fact that they learn about their heritage all year long. We appreciate the free transportation, the free meals, the after-school programs. Dr. McQueen has always been a blessing. We love the teachers, the staff, everything has been awesome. We recommend the school to anyone.

My two sons just graduated from Torchlight Academy. They have been at Torchlight since Kindergarten. When I was looking for a good school for one when he turned 5 years old, I was very worried about where to place him, until I ran into a lady who referred me to Torchlight Academy and have never had any regrets since they started Kindergarten. I just wish there were more schools like this from k-12, with so much passion to educate children and push them to excellence. We just want to thank their teachers from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I recently looked at one of my son's Math workbook. I was so amazed to see how one of the teachers engages the children in Math. She is a great asset to the School. The teachers at Torchlight are all great teachers that helped to educate and mold them to the boys that they are today. We also want to thank all the other staffs, Principals, and most importantly, the great leaders and founders of this school, the wonderful Mr. Don McQueen and the amazing Dr. Cynthia McQueen. You all have contributed to the academic and psychological growth of our children, not to forget the discipline you instilled in them. This quarantine period has taught us (parents) how important a teacher’s jobs are. We can’t do your job. You have one of the hardest jobs. Thank you for all you did throughout this pandemic period.

My daughter is a 6th grader here at Torchlight. She’s in an all girls class. She has been a student at Torchlight Academy since kindergarten. I love, love the school. Would not consider putting her anywhere else. I do have two grandchildren and one will be 5 soon, and he will be at Torchlight as well. I love the versatility of Torchlight. I love the different languages that she’s learned and I absolutely love the drills because it has taught her a lot as well. The teaching has been great. It’s a great experience, a great environment, and a positive school. Come to Torchlight! You’ll love it!

My twin boys are here. They are 13 years old in the 8th grade. They’ve been going to Torchlight ever since Kindergarten. And Torchlight has been very good for the boys and my family. It teaches them respect for others. They know that they have a duty to do well in the community. It’s also giving them a great foundation as far as discipline. Also cultural, they have a lot of respect for their history and their culture. And for that, I’m grateful.

I have a daughter that goes to torchlight. This is a wonderful school. This is their first year being here. My child has learned a lot by being here. She has learned so many different languages. She also has improved in her reading, spelling, and things like that. And I’m a proud parent to have my child here at Torchlight.

I have two sons here. They’ve been here for three years. They love it! They have learned Spanish and Arabic. They’ve had a wonderful time here with their friends. My son’s in the 8th grade, so he is going to high school. My other son is going to the 7th grade but He really truly loved Torchlight. I thank Dr. McQueen, Thank You.

My son has been attending Torchlight for about 2 years now and we love it. I feel like he’s grown to be a great young man and I’m very proud of him.

Torchlight Academy is a great school! Teachers and staff are dedicated to the success of students. There are a great deal of extracurricular activities such as Foreign Language, Martial Arts, and field trips! I was there from 1st grade through 5th grade, but since then they have expanded to have a Middle School. Wonderful School!

My son has been attending Torchlight Academy for four months now, he has shown a great improvement! Thank you, Torchlight!

Torchlight Academy staff are awesome!!! I just loved the Cultural Diversity Extravaganza was truly amazing. They really go all out for the children. Go Torchlight!!!

My children love Torchlight Academy! Since my children have been attending Torchlight, their grade levels have improved so much! Thank you, Torchlight Academy!!

I am very happy with Torchlight Academy Charter. My children a very happy here and they grades have improved so much, thank you Torchlight Academy for all that you do. F. M.

I am so proud of my son, since he has been attending Torchlight Academy, his grades,attitude and disposition has changed for the better. Thank You Torchlight Academy, I could not have done it without you.

I like Torchlight Academy because not only are my children learning, but because the Principal and teachers care a great deal. You can talk with both the Principal and teachers even without making an appointment. They are fair and reasonable. I also love the drilling the children do and the free tutoring Torchlight provides.

It takes great students, great staff and a great environment to make a perfect school and that's Torchlight Academy! When I first walked into torchlight, I felt so comfortable. Staffs welcome parents with positive attitudes and the children are always learning. One thing I love about Torchlight Academy is the uniforms. I feel uniforms bring kids to the same level and that's what I enjoy seeing. When my little brother first went to Torchlight, he could barely read. Now, he can pronounce large words and know the meaning of it! Also, there are two or more teachers in a classroom now and that shows each kid is getting the attention they need. I love the principals, Dr. McQueen and Mr. McQueen because they're greatest!! They work with parents dealing with gas, they provide uniforms for kids that can't afford it and give many chances to kids that really need it. Lastly, the school is free! So there's no reason why no one shouldn't enroll their kid because it's the best school you can ever want your child to be in.

Since Torchlight is publicly funded and free to all, many students are receiving the benefits of private education, without the financial strain related to cost. This is a blessing to many parents!!!

I love Torchlight Academy. My children were going to a public school and one of my sons have ADHD and all the public school wanted to do was call me daily to pick my son up. But Torchlight's team worked with me & my family to help us with my son. After only 6months his behavior, focus, and grades all changed for the better. Now my son is on the honor roll.
