We enrolled our oldest child this past year at SA and couldn't be happier. He came from a local public school (the best one in Hendersonville) and to no fault of the teachers there (the curriculum), he was not challenged to his fullest extent. He now beams with excitment every day about his devoted teachers , exciting and engaging activities and curriculum and the small class sizes (less than 14). He loves school again. Tuition is in line with other Nashville private schools and is well worth it. At SA, middle school begins in 5th grade which is a huge bonus. While this was a very difficult decision for us to make, we are glad we made the switch.
Enrolling our children in SA was the most comfortable decision we have made concerning our childrens education. The level of education has been superior and we are excited to see our children reach goals thought unobtainable by most...and doing so happily and with ease. I only wish I had done is sooner! The results are worth every penny!
Sumner Academy is a great school that truly lives its motto of 'We Believe Every Child is Gifted'. The teachers and administration are exceptional. Class sizes are optimal for teacher creativity and hands-on learning. The curriculum is stimulating and challenging. Our children were allowed from an early age to work above grade level. Parental involvement is high, including chaperoning out-of-town field trips and volunteering in the classroom. We couldn't be more satisfied.
Some dedicated teachers? Yes. Worth the tuition? Absolutely not. After we've had three kids have go through Sumner Academy on the honor roll, we are learning that they are now lost at John Paul II High School in a number of subjects, particularly math. Ask yourself why the school has classes of 50-60 students in Kindergarten through first or second grade but by the time the seventh and eight grade rolls around, the class size dwindles to a dozen or so. Parents wise up after about five or six years of the non-sense. Spend your money eleswhere for a truly quality education. Stay away.
