We did a lot of research to find a school for our son. Firewheel Christian Academy fit our every need. We LOVE his teacher Mr. Broadwell, who also coaches several different sports and happens to have the patience of a saint. The teachers at this school believe in loving discipline and have high standards for academics led by a principal, (Ms. Chapman) the children all love. I'm involved in the Parent Teacher Fellowship and I enjoy every meeting. The parents are caring and the students are respectful. I am so excited to see how wonderful 6th grade will be next year! I am so thankful for this school....a place where my son learns about God and while he's learning feels God's love from attentive adults. Close Quote

I am a parent of a 5th grader at Firewheel Christian Academy. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!! They do have a small athletic program but my focus is more on education. The smaller class sizes allow for individual attention and really allow the teachers to focus on more advanced studies. The tuition at this school in my opinion is actually too low (I know that sounds crazy but it's only a third of the cost of most Christian schools). The teachers at Firewheel truly care about the students and you can feel the sense of warmth when you see them all interact. I feel very blessed to have found this school. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
