What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
Long list of abuse to kids at this place. Saw the camera footage of them hitting my daughter. Do you have any idea how it feels to have you 3 yr old say. "Mommy the teacher hit me" CPS and police reports filed.
Keep making new accounts won’t help that my kids were abused here years ago and I’ll never let you guys forget. Look them up on ksat12 valley high baptist academy before sending your kids here.
Bad service. I paid more than 400 euros for them to only take care of me for 6 days and then they didn't give me any of my money back. I don't recommend this place.
