My son attended Adda Clevenger for a brief period. Three years later we still talk about the positive impression his time there made on him. This school is a rare place. Magical.

Let me get this straight , the person who posted before me has no idea what their talking about. I am a student at Adda clevenger, and for nearly 6 years i have thrived with amazing math, english, drama, science , speech.... classes the list goes on and on. For one Adda gives kids a very structured system with small classes (witch most kids prefer) and customized classes so your child can learn were he/she feels comfortable. About homework lower grades do not recieve little to no homework because of the long hours were as older grades slowly increase homework so you don't get overwhelmed. The whole Adda experience is really fun for kids new expirences will excite them and they will never get bored. I love Adda and everyone in it and wouldn't change for anything

Adda Clevenger is a school that all kids love, why because the academics are extremely weak, there is absolutely no structure in most classes and no set curriculum. The kids also love it here because the teachers don't give out a lot of homework. The English and Math classes are average but the science and history courses are a disaster. Adda Clevenger emphasizes on the Performing Arts; currently they do three stage producductions every year plus they have two concerts, this takes up a TON of time. This school operates the old- fashioned way, there are no electronics besides televisions. Also the playground is a mess, it is a parking lot which is used for parking. Although apon graduating the school the kids develop self confidence through programs such as Speech and Acting which are in my opinion some good programs offered.

My daughter has been thriving at AC for nearly 5 years...she is gifted but achievement well above grade-level which would not occur if she was not exposed to the material...sure others in her class may not be gifted, but they band together and learn at an appropriate pace. AC is a school with fabulous diversity on all fronts...there is no financial aid or fundraising, yet tuition is more affordable than most while maintaining an environment that educates the whole child! These kids leave with tremendous confidence, focus and a love of learning.
