For seven years our daughter has attended Christ Fellowship Academy in Palmetto Bay, FL. She has been provided with a well-rounded education in a Christ-centered environment. The campus is welcoming, safe, and feels like home. Exceptional administrators, professional, passionate teachers, and staff. Everyone goes above and beyond. Amazing parent involvement. It is a blessing to be part of the CFA family! I highly recommend Christ Fellowship Academy.

I love working at CFA. We have an amazing team of teachers that partner with parents and students to help them be successful. I am blessed to work in a school that truly puts Jesus at the center of all they say and do!

Amazing school! Our family has been a part of CFA for the past 8 years. We were looking for a school with high-quality education and Christ at its center, and we found it in CFA. The staff and administration are amazing. We are so thankful for CFA!

My daughter has been at CFA since Kindergarten and we have been so blessed to be a part of this community! The care and love shown by every teacher and staff member as well as the high academic standards are a few of the reasons why we love CFA. I have seen the school's administration and staff come alongside families that are struggling to show them support, and prayer and always point them to Christ. This is such a beautiful, Christ-centered environment for my daughter to be growing up in and I look forward for my son starting next year!

I am so proud to be on staff at CFA because I believe our program provides hands-on learning opportunities and excellent academic training in all areas. I have such confidence in our Administration and I know they care about each individual student! I believe CFA is the BEST!

This year, we summarized our 5th at CFA! We look back and thank God for how He has blessed our family through CFA. We came when our son was entering K3. We could not have asked for a better school experience. In all areas, we have seen our son flourish. He had a slow start with reading and is now a thriving, avid reader, with a reading level almost 2 grade levels above. He also came to know the Lord as a Savior through one of his teachers. This is all thanks to the hard-working teachers who have invested so much in his life. By providing academic rigor and classroom structure, they keep children engaged with exciting, hands-on activities. Students participate in fun, educational specialty classes weekly, with an emphasis on the arts and technology. Help class, scholars, and interventions are also available for students needing extra in any given area. The love, care, and true focus on being Christ-centered is evident. The teachers, staff, and administrators go above and beyond to serve their students and families. Even in difficult situations, the administrators seek God first and handle each situation with prayer, love, and genuine concern for all parties involved. You will not find a school with administrators who care as much! They desire to see God glorified in all things, and for parents and students to know Jesus on a personal level, because they know that's where true life change occurs, and that is the most important thing. The perfect school doesn't exist. However, at CFA, you will find all that you have been looking for if you open your eyes to see what God is doing. He is blessing this school in ways only He can. If you're looking for a Christ-centered school with strong academics and a heart to serve families, this is your home.

5 stars!! My family and I have a special place in our hearts for CFA. Not only is their academic program superb, but the support they offered me as a single mother is a true example of Christian love. My daughter was cared for, nurtured and educated by the best Christian Educators. As a result, I have seen a marked improvement in my daughter. I highly recommend CFA as not only a great school for your children but the best place to work as well. Thank you, Mrs Estevill and Mrs Cruz for making these past two years at CFA the best years in our lives. God Bless CFA!!!

Christ Fellowship is clean, well-managed, well-staffed, friendly, and professional; with high academic standards and a safe campus with multiple levels of security. Children are taught kindness and responsibility, and teachers are compassionate but firm. Probably the best elementary school within a 500-mile radius.

My daughter spent 7 wonderful years at this school and I have to say that we had the best experience ever! Christ Fellowship is a Christian school with excellent and caring teachers. My daughter was nurtured by each and every teacher, Principals and Vice Principal. She was taught discipline, kindness and love. Her schoolwork was tough but fair - if she showed any struggle our teachers would notify us right away! School events were so well organized and fun - Parents were also the best, often times volunteering their own time to fundraising and helping out any way the could.Both my husband and I worked over 30 miles away from Christ Fellowship and for years we refused to move closer to our jobs as we knew that this kind of experience rarely happens.Our only complaint? ......That the school did not go to 12th grade! As we would have never left!Don`t think twice about enrolling- do it!
