What people are saying

Child pick up is disorganized. They still haven't learned how to use their sound system after 10 years. The school reach phone system is full of bugs. You either get repeat messages about events or none at all and its treated as your fault if you didn't get the info to include your child. From my perspective its not about education since school schedule involves half day Fridays and extra days off in the month as well as ending the school year early since it never snowed. Currently Aurora Christian Academy does not have a teacher for my child's age group due to down turned economy causing lower enrollment otherwise I would not hesitate for a second to switch schools.
