the kind of school I wish my grandchildren could get accepted at ....as it stands we are working on openings at the moment

My child is in the K-5 class this year. Class size is large for a private school (24:1). There is no set curriculum being used and the workbooks are for age group 4-5. The Principal does not properly discipline children who have repeated behavioral problems. The upper grades have very few students and it appears that the lower grades are overcrowded to generate income. I am not certain I will keep my daughter at this school next year.
My daughter is in her fourth year there, and absolutely loves it. Classroom size is optimal and there is a very 'close' feeling about it.

I'm a former student of this school, having attended from 1st-8th. From there, I went to public high school and found I was extremely prepared for the workload at a public school. I found myself to be more prepared than most of the other students. I now teach in the Portsmouth Public School system. The quality of education offered at CSA is way ahead of what is offered in the public school system. The teachers focus on mastery instead of how to guess on the SOLs. I'd highly recommend CSA. It could use some updated texts and computers, but overall, it's a chance for a quality education at a lower price than other private schools.
