I worked at Paideia Classical Academy full-time for one year. I have been a teacher for 30 years and was excited about starting at Paideia, thinking that it was going to be organic, classical, and Christian... it turns out to have been none of those things. The only green thing about it is a gardening club that meets after school once a week to work on a single planter box. Poor behavior by the students is often ignored by the staff. Most importantly, the curriculum is incredibly lop-sided-especially at the middle and high school levels. High school students have 15 hours of language arts each week and only 5 hours of math, 2 hours of science, and 2 hours of history! I felt that rather than being better prepared than the public school student, these students were actually worse off-especially at the high school level. It's a decent place for the elementary ages, but beyond that I would never send my child here. This school really needs to work on creating a decent and competitive curriculum for their older students.
