Like any school, Altamonte Christian has its strengths and weaknesses. It has a low classroom size with only around 20 students per grade. This does help to develop great student/teacher relationships, but limits the amount of classes that can be offered. ACS covers all of the basics in education and deals well with a very low tuition price. I graduated from ACS and feel like I was well prepared for college. There are many life truths that ACS teaches that are not fully appreciated by its students until after graduation. Those who give it a 'bad rating' most likely are the same type of people who have a bad attitude about many various things in life. I would highly recommend Altamonte Christian School and do acknowledge that by no means is it 'perfect for everyone.'
As a former graduate, there was no question in my mind where I was going to enroll my child when he was old enough to attend. Yes, the small size does limit what is offered to the students as far as extra-curricular activities and specialized courses, but it does offer a wonderful atmosphere for developing great relationships with the teachers and staff. Many of the teachers that touched my life and helped shape who I am today are there to give that same guidance to my son. The teachers, staff, and administration are genuinely concerned with not only the education of each child, but their spiritual well-being. That fact alone makes this school worth your serious consideration.
I attended this school as a student for 10 years, pre-k through 8th grade. It was not by choice that i attended this school and had it been my choice i would of never attended past elementary school. The curriculum is exceptionally slim with very little if any choice in which classes you are allowed to attend. Due to the sheltered and small classroom environment the student have no true understanding of the real world. They have the same teachers, same kids in their classes, and usually have a close relationship with teachers. I consider myself thankful that i was allowed to attend a public high school before i was accepted to Florida State University, due mainly to the fact that a larger high school prepared me for the daunting size and extremely busy professors of a large State University.
I am a parent of two students who attend Altamonte Christian School. They have attended this school for seven years. As an elementary school teacher at a local public school, quality of education is very important to me. Altamonte Christian School surpasses all my expectations of excellence in education. It is reassuring to me that my children are getting a great education. I m impressed by the quality of teachers, the curriculum and the high standards. As a christian and an educator, I am certain that the Christian based education that my children are getting in Altamonte Christian will prepare them for any plans in the future, including any college of their choice. Also, it is a testament to the school s success that there are many multi-generational families, children of former students, enrolled.
