School Reviews

CIA has exceeded our expections in every way. Every day my child is happy to go to school, every day she learns more and more. Currey Ingram Academy has proven to be a exceptional educational experience for our child as well as for us. I did not comprehend the impact this school would have on our entire family until now. The teachers are amazing, the facility is amazing, it's almost too good to be true. If you're considering a school where every teacher knows your child and your family, a class size ratio of 3:1, a student body with the most genuine , friendly kids and a place where your child (and you) can call a second home then look no farther! The sacrifice is worth it.
