I am writing to thank the school for the support they have given my daughter since she started school. She has been with the school for two years now and since then she has had a lot of support in her studies and in sports that she loves. This school has helped her become more responsible with her study goals and has achieved it, thanks to every teacher and staff.

My son started school this year after being in a private school in Gainesville that did not work out. So far he is doing well in this school. From the very beginning, the staff has been very friendly and very helpful. His teacher has constant communication with me and the principal is available anytime I need to speak to him. Right now I couldn't be any happier.

I am very thankful to St Cloud Preparatory School. My grandson started attending this year and that is the best decision I have made for him. He looks happy and his attitude has changed a lot.

I love school. My son is a student at this school, from the first day he received support from all the school staff since my son was going through a moment of fear and they allowed me to stay at school so that my son could overcome that bad experience he suffered in another school. Thanks to your help my son lost his fear and now goes to school alone and is very very happy, thank you, God.

This is my son and daughter's second year at SCCPS and we are so blessed to have them here! The teachers and staff all truly care about the students and have the time to help them when needed. Last year both of my kids were on the honor roll for the entire year! In public school, they both struggled with their grades. Having the smaller classes has made such a difference. My kids are not just a number in the class anymore. Now they are no longer struggling to keep up or get by.

This is my son and daughter's second year at SCCPS and we are so blessed to have them here! Last year both of my kids were on the honor roll for the entire year. In public school they both struggled to keep their grades at a passing level. The teachers and staff are all wonderful and truly care about the students. My kids are no longer just a number in a classroom. They receive any extra help they need and are both excelling in school now! Very grateful to the teachers and staff!

We love this school! The staff is all very kind and helpful when it comes to helping your child adjust to a new atmosphere. My son loves going to school now because they make learning fun for him! I could not recommend this school enough!

I love faith-based education. The academic part is not fluffed up with unnecessary wasted time on projects and homework for parents that are already busy with daily life. Also, my daughters remember their bible memory verses every time they confront an issue related to it.
5 2/15/2023
My daughter has enjoyed going to school at Saint Cloud Christian Preparatory this year. Ms. Torres her teacher is wonderful. She has made great friends, is learning a lot, and is looking forward to the cooking club.
5 2/15/2023
I have had only good experiences so far this year. My son loves the school and the staff has been very helpful since the day I registered him. They keep good communication with the parents and I love the weekly survey they sent to address concerns or to know how we feel as parents and better serve our children. I filled out the survey when my son started as I did not know the curriculum very well and had questions and I got called for a meeting with the AP right away. She was very patient with my questions, professional, and compassionate. My son loves it and he tells me about the devotionals and chapel he goes to on Wednesdays. I wanted a place where he could feel safe and that teaches the word of God and the values and seeing him happy makes me happy as well.

my son is very happy at school, he loves that he can play in the middle of his classes, that way he learns more and stays more focused.
5 2/14/2022
I absolutely love this school. We just moved here from NC and school has been a struggle. The transition is so hard from one state to another especially for my 10 yr old. When I say my daughter loves this school I`ve never heard her so excited to get to school. I love the smaller classrooms as it provides more attention and one on one teaching for the kids to grasp the concept. Their way of teaching is unique and my baby is no longer stressed out over school. No child should be stressed over school and this school has helped with her stress levels. The teachers are amazing. Thank you.

This school is a blessing! My son has Tourette's syndrome and has had a terrible experience in public school. He would be very timid, shy, and would frequently come home upset due to the bullying of the children and unfortunately even one of his teachers! Thankfully we were accepted into St cloud Christian Prep and it is a complete change! The teachers are great with the kids, my son actually asks me to stay later at school, they have so many fun school trips, and the best part is my son is actually quoting and understanding the Bible!!! We love this school! Definitely suggest you look into it!
5 10/20/2021
I am so thankful that I made the decision to enroll my daughter for the regular school year aside from the summer fun program. She has made leaps and bounds with her learning. The smaller classroom size and supportive teachers, it has motivated her back to the joy of learning. The office staff is an absolute pleasure to speak with and always helpful.

My son was being bullied at his public school and was doing poorly academically. So switched to this school. Best decision I made. Now he loves school says that he doesn't get bullied here and actually made friends. He's doing better academically and was in the basketball season and now football. He loves it I love it and now am officially starting my other son there Monday. Great school and Mr ace as a great teacher!

My children have attended this school for the past 2 years. Their grades have increased dramatically, and they love going to school. They join their after-school programs which they have a blast. The teachers are respectful and make sure each student keeps up with their grades.
5 4/6/2020
This school has helped my son get on track with learning goals that other schools said he could not catch up to. The school works with each individual child and takes into account any special needs; they also accept McKay and certain other state scholarships, which helps. They are WONDERFUL with the kids and take time to understand their needs. They are very encouraging, from the teachers all the way to the Principal and Directors. No Common Core! Very family friendly. Great communication between parents and teachers; you will know exactly where your child stands throughout the year. My son rates the place 10 stars, but I can only give 5 on the site! He actually enjoys school now that he is supported, encouraged, and is allowed to let his intelligence and skill set shine. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It has been a blessing.
5 4/6/2020
This is our 1st year with SCCP. My son has settled in nicely into his 8th Grade class. Thank you, Mr. Ace for all the time and attention you give our kids!

The smaller student to teacher radio and small campus are a perfect fit for my daughter. We are enjoying the monthly field trips and it gives the students something to look forward to. I love the front office staff including the principal.
5 2/26/2020
I am very thankful for the staff and the atmosphere that the school provides. It can be nerve-racking just thinking about leaving your kid with people daily. I am thankful that she comes back home happy every day, and she is always excited for the next day. And a special thank you to her teacher, Mrs. Ace. Every day my daughter tells me how awesome you are!
