Kansas City Academy: what do users think?
Sydney Bernstein: I attended Kansas City academy from 2012-2014 and was a staff member during the 2021-2022 school year. My time as a student at KCA was transformative. After a tragic death of my parent in 2010 I was struggling academically and socially in public school. I would frequently skip school due to anxiety and depression. As a sophmore I knew I would not be able to graduate at the current high school I was attending and began to look for alternative options. A family friend who was a staff member at KCA recommended I come visit the school. From the moment I stepped foot in the door I knew I wanted to join KCA’s community. As a student I was given the opportunity and freedom to explore myself in a safe space where it was okay to be yourself and make mistakes. I was offered a lot of leadership opportunities. I wanted to come to school everyday. The faculty and staff were so welcoming and encouraging. For the first time in my life I felt seen, heard, and accepted by KCA’s community. I was so sad to graduate in 2014 but I have remained a part of the community one way or another 9 years later. I recommend this school for any student or parent looking for a academic environment that is creative and accommodating.
Sage WolfeZogg: I graduated from KCA in 2015. They teach kids to be involved in their education, to explore their own interests, to endlessly ask why. We learned to think of people besides ourselves, to break problems down into manageable amounts. I was one of the students (selected by the students) who decided on community services requirements. There were students, facility, and community members involved. Even as a 15 year old I felt heard, supported, and respected.
Lauren D: Great school. Small classes. Teachers were involved with students. Had their own garden and cooking classes. Lot of fun engaging projects especially art.
mike cowger: Kansas City Academy, and the staff that makes it what it is, has been a tremendous source of support, kindness, and growth for our son, who has just completed his first school year there. In what could very well have been an incredibly difficult time the staff at KC Academy has created a wonderfully welcoming and inclusive environment where our son has (and is still!) learning how to thrive and take his own narrative with both hands and make it his own. I absolutely recommend KCA for any kiddo and family who are looking for a place to really belong.
Margaret Chaffee: Ay KCA my child feels valued and seen for all her gifts and talents. So thankful for the compassion and creativity of the staff and students.
Suzanne Raney: We love this school and its creative, kind and compassionate teachers and staff.
Amy Parker: This has been a life-altering, amazing school for my daughter. For a kid who didn't fit in with the more traditional public school setting, KCA was just the place where she could be herself. The teachers and staff are informal, approachable, VERY supportive, and maintain a quality, meaningful education. I would never have thought a school like this existed and will be forever grateful that it does. This school goes above and beyond to not only support each unique kid but help them become the best versions of themselves they can be. I truly hope KCA will always be there for students like my daughter. I am so, so glad we took a chance on KCA.-The parent of a 2022 grad
DeAnna Skedel: If there ever was a community that puts the social and emotional development of their students first, this is it.
sloane swift: This school is bad, the kids here are bad. The teachers teach horribly i didn't learn anything. The students pushed me to attempting suicide, several times. The teachers did not investigate and it was horrible.
Samsung Chromebook #17: Worst school i've ever gone too, the staff allowed other students to bully me due to my family not being able to afford the tuition. They refused us for financial aid, and allowed rumors and lies about me spread throughout the school. I got sent death threats, and became very depressed during this time. It was horrid. Please don't send your child to this school.
Avont'e foster: The Best Experience!!
Cathy Metcalf: KCA has been extremely proactive in providing our children with a top-notch experience under the current COVID-19 conditions. The teachers spent the summer learning new digital platforms to assist with their online lessons. The school created a balanced schedule for the students to be digitally engaged with their classmates and teachers daily. KCA is consistently evaluating conditions to determine when students can return to in-person classes. The online schedule was designed to seamlessly flow with the in-person schedule once students can return to campus. We have the utmost confidence in the leadership and faculty at KCA and we know that our children are receiving the best education possible to prepare them for their futures!
Annette Wallace: Love this school! My child struggled last year as a Freshman. This year they transferred to KCA! So far the improvement has been phenomenal! So grateful for the wonderful, involved staff!
Amber DeAngelo: The best, creative, accepting, supportive school in town!
AUTO MART USA: GOOD ACADMY
Cooper Enochs: Gotta say gotta say it is relatively EPIC???? YES EPIC!!!!! Ooguns boogus
Kristine Ennis: KCA is such a Fabulous learning environment . Their curriculum and staff engage the students and the safe and welcoming environment allows for a superior education to develop. I highly recommend this wonderful, community based, small school.We had multiple years at Catholic schools and by far KCA is the best!!! We only wish we had discovered it sooner.
Aisling Crowe: KC Academy has helped my daughter be more confident. She is encouraged to think for herself here. The teachers at KC Academy are supportive and inspiring. So happy we found this unique school.
Jeff Weis: KCA has been a wonderful fit for my son since sixth grade.
Brennan G: I am a KCA graduate of 2001. This school was a great influence on how to manage my life responsibly. The teachers were the best. I loved my experience here.After graduating I moved to Los Angeles, finished college and I'm now an television editor for NBC Universal.Thanks KCA.

Whitefield Academy: what do users think?
Katie Cawley: Whitefield has a compelling vision for raising the next generation of children who can, as adults, engage their worlds with character, confidence, poise & integrity. And they have the teachers and administration to accomplish those goals!!
Kelle Boehmer: Homeschool and troop 522 meeting spot
Katherine Van Steenburgh: Whitefield Academy has been a wonderful place for our kids. The students care deeply about the whole child and work hard to help every kid grow and thrive academically, emotionally, physically, artistically, and socially. This school really is special. We have had a wonderful experience with both of our kids and they are very different kids. We have been SO impressed with the teachers and to us that is what really matters. Very thankful to be a part of this outstanding school community!
Michael Meador: I am a teacher at Whitefield Academy, and I couldn't recommend it enough to anyone out there looking for a Christ-centered school that will help their children grow into mature people! The office staff are incredibly kind, helpful, and on top of things at all times. The other teachers are welcoming, encouraging, and clearly passionate about the students. I have never heard one of them say a single bad thing about any student, which is something I experienced in public school. And the students! Hard-working, respectful, and always a joy to be around. They make my day every time I see them.
Elaine Selby: My children, who are now adults, benefitted greatly from the classical and Christian education Whitefield provided. They made life long friends and acquired the tools to be life long learners.
Jill Coates: Fourteen years ago we moved to Kansas City in search of a classical Christian school to send our 5th grader, 3rd grader and Kindergartener. Two years ago our youngest, following in the footsteps of his two older siblings graduated from Whitefield Academy with honors. Although teachers and administrators have come and gone during these past thirteen years at Whitefield Academy, some with short tenures and others still there after 20 years of service, collectively they taught our children how to think on their own, to know the parts of speech and grammar so they could read and understand any text, to speak logically and to exhibit Christ like behaviour in their relationships.
Sarah Swanson: As a faculty member, I love teaching at Whitefield Academy because of the small class sizes! This aspect allows me to really get to know my students individually and helps me to prepare lesson plans to meet their needs and at their academic levels. It has also been a joy and privilege to be able to join my teaching with my faith. Instead of having to separate the two, my math classroom can point my students to God and the wonders of His creation!As a parent, I love that each of my children are part of small classrooms. They are known and loved by their teachers - individually seen and taught, nurtured and cared for. The Whitefield community feels like a family. We also enjoy the quality literature and rich curriculum our children are immersed in each day. Not only are they learning Scripture and hymns, but they are reading Great Books and classics, which have allowed them to dialogue with their grandparents and other adults who have also enjoyed these books from their childhood. They are digging deep foundations in math and writing. Not only are they in a school that strives for academic success, our children are in a school that seeks to shape and mold their character as well. In an unsettled culture and broken world, our children are having their foundations built on the One who is unchanging and forever Faithful!
Jim Selby: Outstanding classical Christian education, developing the whole person.
James Laney: Whitefield Academy is a blessed place. I have taught here for 12 years. We continue to grow and become more and more a Christ-centered community of classical learning. It's a wonder and delight to behold God's purposes unfold. If you are looking for a safe and enriching environment for your child to grow and develop, to stir up your child's love of learning and desire for God, this is a good one to check out.
Erikka Bryngelson: We have absolutely loved our experience at Whitefield. It is a phenomenal school where I can truly say they care about the well-being of every student. There is careful thought and intention behind every practice within the school. They go above and beyond to equip students with strong Christian principles while also providing an outstanding educational experience. We have been so impressed with Classical Christian Education and how well it prepares every student. This school has been an answer to prayer and a blessing to our family. I highly recommend it!
Kea Cole: We have been at Whitefield Academy for three years and we absolutely love it! This year in particular has been an emotional rollercoaster for my family. The community of Whitefield literally held our hands, filled our bellies and sowed so much love and support to us that it was truly God sent. The students and staff at Whitefield have a heart after God. It shows through their teaching, welcoming hearts and giving spirits. We plan on being a part of this community for years to come!
Kathryn Theiss: As a teacher and a parent at Whitefield Academy, I'm so thankful for this community of people. Each year I watch in amazement as my children learn and grow in their faith and academic abilities under the direction of their caring teachers. As a teacher, I'm thankful for the small class sizes and the opportunity to learn more about our Creator through the disciplines of English and Humanities (reading).
Nilson goes: We are entering our second year at Whitefield Academy and have made the decision to bring both of our kids here. We have found that the school is VERY well run and was lead exceptionally well through the pandemic. The teachers we have had have all been exceptional. They have treated our child with love and he loves going to school here.People choose schools for different reasons, and a parochial school even more so. That being said, we chose Whitefield for the academic rigor, classical educational philosophy, small class sizes, and character focus. We have been more than pleased with all of those points and the experience has met or exceeded our expectations.It's unfortunate that some reviews are coming in from people that are not even in Kansas City or know nothing of the school - it's clear that this has some motivation that is not based on experience and subsequently, is not a fair 'review' of the school - rather an misinformed opinion based on a subjective article written by a publication that spends equal coverage on tattoo and piercing establishments. Consider the source.We have found the school to be inclusive, friendly, communicative, safe, and academically rigorous.
Aaron Perry: I am a senior in high school attending Whitefield Academy, and have been going to this school since kindergarten. My two older siblings have attended Whitefield Academy from kindergarten to 12th grade and have both graduated. Whitefield Academy and their teachers give the students an incredible community to grow academically and spiritually. The teachers are more concerned about the student well-being then their grades. Although the education at Whitefield Academy is rigorous the teachers understand that life can be difficult sometimes, and are always there to support the students. This school is like no other, and I’m proud to call myself a senior at Whitefield Academy.
Rachel Obenhaus: We love that having our kids in a school where the teachers come alongside us as we work to help our children develop and grow into who God made them to be!
Adrienne Waner: This is our family's ninth year at Whitefield Academy and we couldn't be more pleased. We have three children, two in the lower school and one in the upper school. This institution is top-notch, from the excellent responsiveness and organization of the administration to the attentive and loving teachers who deliver a high quality, Christ-centered classical education. Over the course of my life, I have been involved with or attended five different private Christian schools from elementary all the way up to the college level, and I can say with all honesty that Whitefield surpasses them all. Not only is the education superior, but the Whitefield community of teachers, parents, students, and school leadership has enriched our lives in so many ways. This school is a true gem!
Todd Jones: Whitefield has provided an amazing education for my children. They deliver on their vision that comprehending and communicating complex concepts is a skill that can be taught to any student regardless of ability. I'm a bit jealous of my children as I would have been much better prepared for life and college if I had gone to Whitefield. The faculty and staff live out the Christian virtues promoted by a classical Christian education. Most importantly, the students are taught how to think critically so they can become life long learners. This is so much more important than merely learning a skill to get a job or get into the right college. I'll never forget when the head of the math department said "we learn geometry because it helps us to think deeply." A classical Christian education helps the students become good people who pursue truth, goodness and beauty. Now more than ever we need more students graduating with what Whitefield provides.
John Hutson: I've been very impressed with what my daughters have learned in Whitefield's PK and Kindergarten, but more than that, Whitefield teachers have formed deep and lasting connections with them. These teachers love my daughters enough not only to make them feel safe and at home in the Whitefield community but to give them individual attention to ensure they will reach Whitefield's high standards of excellence.
Rebekah Wampler: Whitefield Academy has blown my expectations out of the water. The academic focus, intent on teaching the whole child, and intensity of God's love is profound. My children are being nourished in their mind, body, and spirit through intentional lesson planning, instruction, and communication. I could not be more happy with the education they are receiving.We had our children in a public school prior to Whitefield. They were results oriented (state testing) and one of my boys cried everyday going, and hated being at school. The classrooms were large and he often felt lost.We have the opposite at Whitefield. The classes are smaller and the attention is on the Lord and the academics are so well rounded. There is no pressure of state testing and constant high stakes assessments.I cannot thank Whitefield enough for the education it has given my boys!
Kara Anderson: We have been impressed with the curriculum and instruction. Whitefield cares not only about my child's education but also about his heart. They have worked with his behavior. He struggled with sitting for long periods and staying focused and we met with a couple teachers and they wanted nothing but the best for him and were willing to work with my requests of some alternate learning styles. We hope to and don't ever have the intentions of leaving Whitefield! We have 4 kids we plan to put through!
Kyle & Lydia White: This is an EXCELLENT school with top notch academics, high expectations mixed with grace, and a focus on who kids are becoming in all areas.Everything is done with intentionality, forming student’s minds but also their character and faith. Kids are not just prepared for college/career but for life as continual learners. Kids are not just taught Bible lessons but given a critical thinking and worldview foundation that prepares them to bless their community.We have attended for three years and have experienced extraordinary teaching, excellent leadership by the headmaster, and a wonderful culture of Christian community.Our oldest was originally enrolled elsewhere but after a campus tour, we immediately moved her here. It was the best decision!This school is absolutely worth a visit!

Kansas City Christian School: what do users think?
Ben Robinson: Overall, this school is a fantastic environment and safe place where your children can feel free to express themselves and their creative passions. Unfortunately, as this is a small school, there are some limits to athletic programs, but that does not mean that the school is un-athletic. the soccer and baseball programs are both excellent and provide your child with enough fitness training to be able to climb Mt. Everest. The school has incredible theater and music programs as well. Brian Miller is both an experienced actor and director, and he makes incredible shows every fall and spring. Trent Tinker is the band director, and he never fails to entertain with his fantastic performances and contagious enthusiasm. As stated above, I would recommend this school to any one.
Tereasa Gilmore: Quality education with a Biblical worldview.
Olivia Price: This school has been an amazing place to go, and I'll miss it when I leave!! The teachers are incredible and the community is welcoming and full of love!!!!!!!!!!
Austin & Rachel De Boer: I am a teacher at KCC and I love my job!
Megan Hutcheson: This school is a great pick if you want your student to grow up within close relations with his peers and teachers because the atmosphere is such a friendly and homelike place. Because of the size of the school however, you shouldn't be surprised at the lack of options, not saying that the classes are bad, but the size of the school restricts the school from greatly expanding their extra-curricular activities and classes. Otherwise the school is an excellent private education for your student to experience a conservative, traditional, and non-denominational learning experience with other Christian Teachers and Peers.
Nicholas Beach: This place is awesome yo!
Doug Goertzen: My son is in 1st grade and we love the school. Good teachers, high standards and expectations...but with teachers that love the kids.

Jessica Patterson: Find another avenue for your SPED child.My student has been punched in the face.My student has been exposed to an older female student undressing herself (Nude)When a parent brings up their concerns regarding the school not following what has been discussed in an IEP meeting. Ignored, parents requests are wrong apparently. The principal, Justin, feels he has a right to talk over you because you state the words your child has used to describe the school and it apparently hurt the principals feelings. Instead of actually taking an empathetic approach to understand our child and his feelings we are told well you kid always states he doesn’t like school so this is normal for him.Just please look at all yours and your students options before you trust these peoples words. They are empty.
