Comments
Grandmother- My
older grandson was "slipping through the cracks" in public school...
un-challenged and un-motivated to perform. His grades were below average
and his attitude was not good (to say the least). Now, praise God, he
attends SCA on a scholarship and is upset if he gets 85%. Most of his
grades are over 95%...and he comes out with a smile each day! New friends,
caring teachers...Thank you!
Elementary Student - I am
thankful for being in this school. I like it because the teachers are very
nice. I am learning a lot. I want to keep coming here. Thank you.
High School
Student - My opinion on Sahuarita
Christian Academy is that it is a wonderful opportunity. My sister and I could
not have come to this school if it wasn’t for the scholarship we received. I am
appreciative of the scholarship and am thankful that this school will help
brighten my future.
Mom-
My son
has told me how happy he is that he does not have to deal with all the profanity
and the ridicule he faced at the public school. His disposition has improved
already. He is much more obedient now, as well. I cannot thank SCA enough for
the change in my son.
Junior High Student -
My attitude has
defintely changed when I entered Sahuarita Christian Academy. I feel that I
need to be better in school and to work on my attitude... I want to show
gratitude to my parents...to
the scholarship providers for giving me and the rest of the students at this
school an opportunity to come here. Without your help most of us would probably
not be able to come here and we are all very grateful for that. I would like
you to know that I really appreciate all that you do, that I am not only going
to give 100%, but 110% and I am going to give my best effort to get good grades
and give all my effort into my education.
Mom - We moved here 5 years
ago from Southern California and we had to put our son in a public school. I can honestly say
that I really don’t think he has learned much since then. This last year the
bullying at the school became unbearable for our son and as I watched him
dreading going to school each day I began to stress out as well. I encouraged
him every day and would promise him I would deal with the situation, that
retaliation was not in his best interest and I was certain school officials
would fix it. I know they tried, but still he was pushed around and made to
feel unsafe in his learning environment. After the first few minutes at
Sahuarita Christian Academy I could already see the tension start to leave my
son’s body. The children there took him under their wings immediately and each
day it has gotten better and better. I now see my son eager to do his work and
get to school to start each day. He is applying his old study habits from years
ago, and while I know there will be an adjustment period, while he gets caught up,
it is well worth it and I already see a huge difference in what he is learning.
He does not feel at all threatened by anyone there and knows no student or
teacher will belittle him or harm him in any way. His self esteem is starting
to increase and he wants to learn more. I can’t thank all of you enough for his
scholarship and giving him back his love of learning and his sense of security.
Junior High Student - This school has done so
much for me academically. I have done so much better in subjects that I
have struggled with. This school has done a lot for me line in Math, History
and Science. This school has changed my attitude a lot and when I come
home from school I’m happy.
I’m so happy to
have this opportunity to go to this school. I have met a lot of new friends and
the best thing is that we have things in common. And I am so thankful for the
people that have provided a scholarship for me to go to this wonderful school.
