South Merrimack Christian Academy

I started my twins out in preschool and it was a great experience in this dept. however once we entered kindergarten it was apparent that the "rewards" (candy, candy, candy) were the main focus and not teaching any coping social/emotional regulation, blaming and shaming in front of other classmates, and more focus on memorizing a bible verse than meeting each child where they are at in learning. We decided to stay as the twins wanted to try another year. Not the same. The original administrator we started with left. looking back at our experience this past year I can see why. The school is run primarily by the church that seems to be in a constant financial crisis ever since old admin left and the antiquated system that is in place needs a total rehaul. We were sad to leave preschool, but the kids are so much happier now. Their father works for an anesthesia service for large hospitals in MA and children were telling my twins that "people who wear masks all day die" (during covid global pandemic when he is in the ER/ICU intubating covid+ patients)- this was allowed in a supposed "christian school"? I can tell of countless times my girls were bullied and every time we questioned it we were met with, "oh kids will be kids". No, these kids are bullies in the making with no accountability, and no system in place at school to deal with it. I was a volunteer for 2 years. I saw first hand what goes on inside. Its more of a school for the people who attend the church it is affiliated with, but their congregation has declined with changes there in personnel as well.
