CPA is lovely Christ-centered school in Middle TN. The teachers are great and the student body is fun and friendly.
10/21/2021
I like it because I've been their for years and it couldn't have been better. I should know because I'm a student in 6th grade. On my first day I was shocked. I've never been so happy in my life!

I have a friend whose son goes to this school and they couldn't be happier. It is on top of my list for mine when I move. Some of the reviews are laughable though, especially those complaining about diversity. One says "almost all students are Presbyterian", well this is a Presbyterian school. It's like going to a burger joint and complaining that almost all they have is burger or to an Auto Dealership and complaining that all they have are cars.

We have three children in the elementary school and have come to love it primarily because of the people who pour into our children like no other school we have attended. Our kids are thriving academically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have found the academics to be dynamic in that they are const...

I currently am in high school at CPA. I have been here since second grade and have not been able to make a connection. The environment in my grade is causing me to switch schools. I see many kids,including myself, being made fun of because they are different, and the teachers just stand by and watch...
