Manassas Christian School

Love this school! The teachers and administrators are great! They really love the kids. The principal is so nice. Whenever I have a concern she takes the time to talk with me and I can tell she really cares.

RUN! Don’t drink the Kool Aid! Sadly I did, and now our little man is suffering and will have a life long unpleasant memory. In a span of four months two different teachers in that school assaulted my grandson. They think they’ve gotten away with it but when the police walk in there they’ll know better. They’re just lucky I didn’t do it while children were around. I waited until the end of school to talk to the police. I am meeting with them on Tuesday and then I hope that teachers walked out in handcuffs! They actually took his shirt off and made him sit in class like that for 10 minutes because he had the nerve to put on the hood of his Manassas Christian School sweatshirt on gym day. Ok so he should have listened, but that teacher had so many options other than removing his clothing. They ultimately apologize in writing assuring me it was taken very seriously and the teacher was appropriately addressed and that it would never ever happen again. We left him in the school because it was so close to the year end and we didn’t want to uproot him at that point. And then just 3 months later we had yet another teacher that assult him by grabbing him by the waste of his pants, pulling out his underwear, and dragged him across the floor. When my sweet little man told me this the second I picked him up the at the end of the day I turned and walked him back into the school to talk to the principal. Her response? Well it was a dangerous situation because they were doing a Code Red drill, let me reinforce and he was a bit too close to the door. An actuality he was crawling toward his friend who was the one that was next to the door he was on the other side of the friend. He was doing nothing wrong. but he was humiliated and bullied by the teacher. All the children laughed at him he will never forget that experience and it makes me mad. They claim they would never tolerate bullying well they had two teachers they did exactly that to this little boy. when told one of the children laughed at the first situation they said oh no we would never tolerate that. The child was laughing at something a person in authority was doing to another student. But yes, punish the child! Sending my preciaous and sweet grandson to private school was supposed to be a benefit for him. Instead, thousands of dollars were spent to watch a child walk in at kindergarden testing off the charts, to down to the 14^th percentile after first grade. I brought up over and over how I didn’t think he was doing well and they just said oh what a lovely child he is and not to compare children excetra. Now he needs to be tutored to catch up. After this last incident he begged me not to make him go back to that school. Since there were just two more official days, I let him stay home, took him to graduation, and allowed him to participate in fun day. He would only go to fun day because he knew I would be there with him. When I had an emergency come up with the foster kittens I have, I told him I would be late but I would be there. He started crying asking me not to take him. I tried to reassure him saying there will be lots of other parents there and everything will be fine. He could not be consoled. So I asked a friend to please watch for him. That made my little man comfortable. But he would not leave her side until I got there. And then he watched me constantly to make sure I was watching him. That child will never forget what happened to him there and it makes me really angry that they’ve done this to a 7 year old. If you love your child, do NOT take them to this school or to their camp which is nothing more than a glorified babysitter. I have witnessed the woman that does their books and sits at the front desk be cruel to a child who’s loose tooth had been bumped and was crying. Pervasive throughout the school. Don’t go there that’s all I can say. If I could rate this lower I would. And they call themselves a Christian school, unbelievable. Interesting that they don’t allow post on their Facebook page come, something they could control if something was posted they didn’t like. I noticed only one review on Google Local and that was from my son. There used to be a lot more on Unilocal.Not sure where those went! I pray enough people see mine to make a difference at least in their children’s lives.

I chose this school to give my son a Christian background. Unfortunately they must spend a little too much time on that, because they’re frequently behind academically. I’ve heard this from many other parents as well. One time my son’s shirt was removed in class (by a teacher!) & all the children laughed at him and he was very uncomfortable. It took forever for them to apologize to him. I mostly let that go. Until today, which is why I’m writing this. Today during a drill, a teacher (again a teacher) dragged him by his underwear across the floor without warning, to the point where his underwear were halfway pulled out of his pants. Again, all the kids laughed. She claims that he was too close to the door. No excuse for physically treating him that way and embarrassing him. Everything looks good there on the surface, but think twice before choosing this school.
