My daughter has thrived academically at Embers and we've deeply appreciated the warmth and attentiveness of the administration and faculty. At the same time, we've found the school's limited diversity—both in representation and in openness to differing perspectives—challenging at times. Overall, it's been a positive experience, and I'm grateful she has a supportive environment for her early education.

We love Embers Academy! Our children are thriving there. The academics are rigorous and the faith formation is strong. It is a very nurturing and tight knit community.

I've been an Embers parent for five years now and have been very pleased with the education my children are receiving. The academics are strong, and the emphasis on character and virtues makes it one of a kind. I see the fruits of this at home and among their peers. The preschool program is strong,...
