Elite Scholars Christian Academy has been a part of our lives since 2018 when our son was first a student here. Now our daughter has been a student with ESCA since the beginning of this school year and she loves her teachers and friends. My husband and I honestly believe finding Mrs Mills and this school for our children has been an answer to prayer for us. Here, children are provided with a God-honoring, Christian environment where they can learn through age appropriate means and also through play. ESCA fosters academic growth without neglecting the child’s social & emotional needs. Mrs Mills has a way with children and my husband and I have learned a lot from her about interacting with our children especially when it comes to understanding their emotions and communicating with them in an effective and sensitive manner while respecting their feelings. One of the most important aspects my husband and I appreciate is that when there is an issue or concern, Mrs Mills addresses it in a timely, professional and godly manner. She is also transparent with the parents about any issue that we should be made aware of especially when it impacts the children. We most recently witnessed this as well which reinforced that we can trust Mrs Mills and the team to follow God’s leading in the decision making process with integrity when it comes to difficult situations. The early years are tremendously influential and ESCA is a great environment for your child, especially if you are considering education with a sound, Biblical worldview. They excel in what they do and you will not regret it!

DO NOT send your child here until the head teacher, Ms. Ciarah is gone! I am very disappointed and disturbed with how the head teacher treated my child. I have a child with ASD and the school accepted her knowing her disganosis. Her ABA therapist goes with her for the 4 hours she was attending. During her time at the school, the therapists expressed some concerns regarding the head teacher as she is speaking aggressively to other children.I was a sent a video that was over 2 minutes long showing how my child was completely ignored when she was sitting right next to the teacher and she didn’t even turn over to look at her once or even engage with her. It was also brought to my attention that the teacher spoke so aggressively to another child she made that child cry.The teacher even started a verbal altercation with my daughter’s therapist and when I went to pick my child up the teacher gave me a very dirty looked and ignored me- so rude and very unprofessional . The assistant teacher is very sweet and the school has great intent but the head teacher does not deserve to work with children.

***Update***
After the owner saw my review she asked me to take it down as she felt it “unfair”. This was astonishing to me because why would you want to hide this?! Current parents and future parents should be make aware of what is going on- I mean these are their children! So sad to even have nerve to ask to take it down.

Being a part of the Elite Scholars family has truly been a blessing. Through prayer, I was guided to Elite Scholars Christian Academy and enrolled my daughter at 15 months old. Although I was nervous to send her to school for the first time, their loving, welcoming, Christ centered environment helped my daughter and I adjust very quickly.
Mrs. Mills and the teachers at Elite Scholars identified and nurtured my little one’s skills, strengths and confidence. When she wanted to do more and learn with the older children they encouraged her and promoted her to the older group. She’s now three years old and far more advanced than I could have imagined. Elite Scholars does not slack on academics or teaching the word of God!
The love, warmth, and encouragement does not stop with the children. Mrs. Mills has provided me with love, support, prayer, and words of encouragement that have been life changing for me. We love the Elite Scholars family. I look forward to the day I can bless this ministry the way that it has blessed me and my child.
