Their operation style is so different for a faith-based school. There is a more lack of communication, teachers act as if they are high school, there is a lac of care and responsibility.

I have had a okay time at Takoma Academy. It is a family orientated school which I love. It's a seventh day adventist school but they do not force that religion onto others.

I got denied for the NHS because they were worried I would try to turn or influence others in a sexuality aspect. They assumed I was apart of the lgbtq community without any conformation for me.

Takoma Academy is a wonderful and under-rated school that values the arts, academic excellence, and diverse athletics. Our two sons have thrived in this caring and challenging community over the past 6 years. The faculty and staff understand the importance of building character and developing well-r...
