Belleview Christian School, Westminster | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I recently had a problem with a teacher making my 5 year old son retrieve his lunch out of a trash can and eat it. I was told that he was being defiant. The previous year a teacher made him clean up feces in the bathroom (that wasn’t his). After reviewing the facts I asked the school for 3 months of tuition credit which would last untill the end of this school year (<$1500). This request was made after considering the difficulty in removing him from one school and getting him into another this late in the year. The principle consulted with the board and they decided they would "allow" me to remove my child from the school early and waive the resulting fees. The whole issue was ignored and I was told they needed parents who support the organization. Dr Polson ( the principal) suggested that I show my child how to forgive and move on and then added that it's not like he was molested.From the school's point of view both of these incidents have been resolved. The teacher from the incident last year is not currently employed and the teacher from the second incident wrote an appology letter (after I requested the credit almost 2 weeks after the incident occured). Needless to say my wife and I will not be enrolling him next year.

I had to give this school a rating of 1 because 0 wasn’t an option. As the other reviewers said, definitely think twice before choosing this school! I chose this school for my upper elementary & middle school students because I wanted support in leading my children to Christ. What we found were controlling and unqualified (for the most part) teachers. I met with the teachers and principals to discuss one of my children who was struggling and they told me to let them fail because nobody could do it for them. I left that meeting without even a prayer suggestion from ANY of the staff! The students were constantly shamed in front of all the other students for poor performance on assignments or if their outfits were deemed inappropriate in any way they were to wear shaming and ugly clothes (provided by the school) for the rest of the day. One of my students was a straight A high achieving student going into Belleview and came out a year later behind and failing most classes. Not a surprise when teachers are more focused on clothing, pencil type and angle of paper while writing than actual learning. With all the other private Christian school options in the area, your money is better spent elsewhere.

Both my girls are students at Belleview Christian School.
The environment is one of greater learning, academic performance and development of personal character.

What I have observed first hand is this:
They are building leaders, thinkers, and doer’s.
Professional gifted seasoned teachers who go the extra mile. They truly care with a balance of tenderness and tough love. Zero tolerance when it comes to nonsense. No free rides and project an enviromnemt where working hard leads to greater reward.
All the staffers know my girls by name, they know our family, and the campus is safe and secure.

An additional comment:
My girls drive an hour each morning to attend Belleview. We can afford closers schools. They (we) are not even Christains and yet Belleview was an obvious choice. Both my girls enjoy learning, and the challenges of learning. They will be leaders and shape their own path, Belleview Christian School is helping to pave the way!
