The teachers are very helpful in learning the issue is the strictness of the rules thus making it difficult to follow

What I enjoyed about Ankeny Christian Academy was the family type atmosphere and that majority of people their wanted to know Jesus, or at least grow closer to him.

Going to Ankeny Christian was a very good school, but had it's flaws. I would like to see the school give scholarships to kids who can not afford a private education. The school has good teachers who offer a good education and want to see the students succeed. However, I would like to see the school offer more college classes for college credit. The school also needs to offer more advanced classes for the kids who are ahead.

This is a poorly run school. There is poor leadership by the head of school (who has no education administration experience), administrators and the school board. This is not a healthy school academically, spiritually or emotionally. Academics - High teacher turnover rates; teachers asked to write c...

Our athletics are thriving at the moment, and with the new expansion it gives us the confidence and motivation to learn. I love to see the little ones look up to the high school and w...

ACA is a blessing. My daughter was bullied so badly in the public school that we had to pull her out. ACA welcomed her and made her feel safe and special. I believe that my children get a solid education in a loving, Christian environment.

This is NOT a non-denominational school. Not only is this school anti-Catholic (claiming the Pope is the antichrist in their 11th grade World History textbook) but it teaches against many religions. For example, their textbooks state that the Seventh Day Adventist religion is a cult. Many parents ha...
