I feel my children are safe and well cared for while at school. While it isn't a church affiliated school it is a christian environment. The best decision we ever made.

My husband and I are both alumni of Chambers Academy and we currently have 2 children at CA. We couldn't ask for a safer environment. The education they are receiving is top notch. Chambers Academy also offers a variety of sports and extracurricular activities. The best advantage to a private school education is the fact that God is still allowed in our classrooms. Chambers Academy adhears to Christian ideals. I can't think of a school family I''d rather be a part of.
