Excellent school!

by DebbieBrown at Citysearch

Mrs. Peters is an excellent teacher and puts 100% into running her school.

My three children attended Peters Academy and they enjoyed every minute.

The themes change each month, she gives each child individual attention and the field trips are educational and fun. I recommend to everyone I know.

• Pros: Small, 5 star, affordable and friendly
• Cons: no summer camp

Kids come first at Peters Academy!

by DonnaPeters at Citysearch

WOW! I am surprised that someone would say I am being a snob. My school gets nothing but great reviews from parents because my first priority are the children. PERIOD!

I guess some people think they are more important then the children at my school.

I keep my fees very affordable so that any child that wants to attend can even though, I could easily charge 2-3 times more and unlike other schools like Calvary for instance, I do not ask for extra money every week.

Peters Academy has been a 5 star school since the rating system took effect 8 years ago---Calvary choses not to even apply for the rated licenses.....I have been told because they could never recieve the 5 star rating but ask them yourself.

II get 5-10 calls per day of people calling to try to sell me stuff and it is annoying--takes away for the children. Should I answer the phone and entertain these people for 15 or 20 minutes?

If someone that wants information can not use proper phone etiquette then why should I play 20 questions with them? I know that may sound snobby but really, people will call that I do not know and instead of saying " I am such and such and would like information about your school" they chose to say "How ya doing?" Is that rude? EXTREMELY!

I am glad you like Calvary, many people do.

Wow, i'm a bit taken aback by the smugness of the person above who posted that is affiliated w/ Peters Academy.

I can't believe they get ticked off if people ask for information. Do they not know how hard it is to get into the quality preschools and all the waiting lists around. I will def. pass them by when it's time to find a good school for my son. Do yourself a favor and go find another 5 star like Calvary (who won best preschool in 2008 by Charlotte Parents). I've heard from neighbors how they treat parents with respect. Sounds like this place doesn't.

Enrolling at Peters Academy is easy!

Peters Academy is the only 5 Star 1/2 day school in the area and the children are very busy during school hours. Instead of taking time away from the children it is best to stop by and pick up an information packet during the day. The packets will include all the details you need about Peters Academy.

After you have the packet then, Mrs. Peters would be happy to show you around by appointment only.

We of course, realize that high quality schools such as Peters Academy are hard to get into but coming by after hours, knocking on the private home door , leaving long distance phone numbers to return or wanting us to sent out information will not get you in any sooner.

Peters Academy has been so fortunate to have wonderful parents the last few years that truly understand that school hours are 9am-1pm and school is run just like any other business intown. We do want you to see our school in action, which is the only way to see if it is a good fit for your child, we just ask that you make an appointment so we can arrange time for you.

Thank you for understanding.

I am so excited to move back to Charlotte and be able to enroll my youngest at Peters Academy!

My oldest son attended Peters Academy 5 years ago before we relocated to New Jersey and he was the only one able to read in his Kindergarten class!

• Pros: Children have fun and learn!
• Cons: none
