Reviews of Springs Christian Academy (Kindergarten)

Dale Vencatasamy

It has been so fulfilling to see our son grow and develop during his time at SCA. During the pandemic, the staff have been miracle workers as they adapt and comply with all the required health and safety mandates. Our guy loves his school and loves his teachers!

Our son is in his second year of preschool at SCA and he loves it! We are so thankful for this school. His teachers truly care about him and his development - spiritually, socially and academically. The facility is excellent and he has so many opportunities every day to learn and grown through indoor and outdoor play, music and crafts.

All 3 of our children attend SCA. The staff are really encouraging and really promote each childs leadership abilities. There are many opportunities for the children to learn leadership skills through "reading buddies", " house teams", arts and music as well the athletics department. I have children attending at both campuses and I love the fact that I still only have one drop off as there is a shuttle bus available between the 2 campuses.

Since our son's first day in pre-school to now, having all three kids at SCA, we've been so happy and appreciative of how and where our children receive their education. The staff are friendly, personable, and take a vested interest in every child.

Our three children go to SCA and it is a fantastic school! Everything really is done with excellence. All of the teachers that our children have had have been great. They are warm, friendly and very skilled. There is very good communication between home and school. Above all, Christ is the focus. The Bible is integrated into all subject areas. Excellent school!

I've been familiar with the elementary campus for 10+ years. The staff truly live by "Pursuing Christ, Pursuing Excellence" and truly care about fostering academics and a relationship with Christ within their students. The facility, incredibly, converts from SCA to Springs Church services on the weekend and some weeknights and I've seen it handled with such cleanliness, skill and detail, again truly worthy of the word "excellence".

We have two children attending SCA and we can’t imagine life without the incredible teachers and staff. Awesome environment that is will have a positive lifelong impact on our family. We love this school!

Our oldest has attended SCA's pre-school program now for two years. The teachers are fantastic, the administration team is highly involved, and our son loves going to school.

If I could give zero stars, I would. For the sake of my privacy and that of the teacher involved, I have both changed my Google name (* will be in place where the name has been changed) and will not be including the name of the teacher. If circumstances change and legal action is taken, this review may be updated. I attended Springs Christian Academy from fall 2007 to spring 2010. That final school year, 2009-2010, can easily be considered the worst year of my life. I was bullied incessantly by other children at the school from the very first year of my being there. The school did not admit that their recess hours were understaffed (thus this bullying was not caught earlier). The school also did not admit that their teachers were poorly trained to handle child-child bullying incidents. Rather, when questioned regarding the bullying at the school, I (an eleven year old at the time) was blamed for the bullying. My parents were told by the principal at the time that I was overreacting to minor playground spats. In reality, I was pushed and shoved by other children (resulting in visible bruising), isolated, and frequently the target of jokes. Through these experiences over approximately two years, I developed symptoms of severe anxiety and depression. At times, one comment from another child piled onto the incessant self hate was sufficient to have me crying in class. Despite my being quiet, I was aware that if any other child noticed, the teasing would only build. Therefore, I at times would get up to go to the washroom or to hide in a corner of the class until I felt sufficiently better. I attempted to do this quietly. Despite this fact, it must have been an annoyance to the teacher. Rather than ask what was wrong, or find a way to get me to the office without the other children noticing, the teacher snapped and grabbed me by the arm as I was leaving the classroom. She held me there, turned to the class, and asked "Who is tired of Josephine*?" She held me until children's hands started to go up in agreement. At that point, I was sobbing in front of the whole class, and I managed to pull away from the teacher and run to the office to call my mother. My mother came to pick me up immediately. She was not called by the school at any point to inform her of the details of what happened. The school did not even acknowledge the incident until she marched into the office looking for answers the next morning. Again, my supposed interruption of the class was blamed for the incident. The teacher did not immediately take responsibility for the public shaming of her own student. The principal was quick to support the teacher against the actions of a literal child. It was only after multiple visits that an oral apology was provided to my parents, although the teacher never once directly apologized to me for her actions. Despite there being another 6th grade class, no offer was made to have me switch classrooms. Instead, I was forced by SCA to continue in the very same classroom where I faced verbal abuse from both fellows students and a teacher. No emotional support in the form of consistent, unbiased appointments with a guidance counsellor were provided. Instead, I was told by the school and the teacher that it was my God-given responsibility to forgive and forget regardless of what happened and regardless of the fact that nothing was done to change the situation. In ten years, I have received no written apology or admittance of guilt directly to me. No written apology has ever been provided to my parents either. Emotional support was non existent, and from my understanding, nothing was done to reprimand the teacher for her actions. She is still teaching at SCA. I am writing this message so that individuals who have faced similarly at SCA can feel they are not alone in their struggle to move on. I am also writing because I would like SCA to provide me with an apology. Update: 5 others have reached out to me regarding the same teacher for similar abusive behaviours. SCA, don't ignore us. You hurt us and we deserve apologies.

Springs Christian Academy is top notch! Both my husband and I graduated from SCA and we knew without a doubt that this is the school our kids would attend. We currently have 2 kids enrolled at SCA and we are continually blown away by the teachers and the Christ-centred education they receive.The teachers and genuine and purse excellence. My kids love going to SCA!

I’m an alumni of SCA and now have my 5 year old son attending. SCA is a great environment to learn and grow spiritually and academically. As a student years ago, I felt very cared for by my teachers and I made lasting friendships that I still have today. Most importantly, I was taught biblical principles to help strengthen my faith as a young person, which I believe is critical in today’s world. My school experience was wonderful and I knew I wanted my son to have the same. We are very happy that we chose SCA!

We love SCA! Wonderful teachers and all around great environment for our children. If you're looking to give your child a great education with high academic standards and daily biblical teaching, SCA is the place to be!
