Both of my kids have been at this school for 3 years now, and it was an excellent experience. The teachers are truly amazing, they take the time to get to know each child and their family. You can tell they genuinely care. The school is always striving to be better and is evolving constantly to make sure the children are getting the best opportunities and experiences.

I absolutely love the Big Apple Academy. We have been attending the school for 4 years now (5 children of varying ages). It is such a safe environment for both students and parents to send your children to. I have found them to be very helpful all around in helping raise our children. I am so grateful for that trust that I have in them. I'm grateful for the values that are taught that reflect what we are trying to teach at home as well. I will always recommend this private school to anyone. It is amazing!!!

Big Apple is a huge blessing for us! As first time parents , we were nervous to start him at school but the staff was so friendly and answered all the questions we had. We love the atmosphere and that the teachers work with the kiddos to learn and have fun. I cannot recommend this place anymore!

We have 3 of our kids go here and have for several years. Not once have they hesitated to communicate with us if anything happened or was needed. Trusting other people with your children is hard, but Big Apple makes it easy! Will be sending a 4th here soon
