Immanuel Lutheran Christian Academy

We are so thankful for this school. Our three kids are receiving a fantastic education -- they attended ILCA's preschool as well -- and are surrounded by a staff that loves and cares for them like family. We love the individual attention they get because of small class sizes, and the opportunities to participate in sports and the arts.

I tried to enroll my child at this school. I was treated badly. Totally ignored when we walked in the door because of our Race.

Contacted in order to get information on the summer program. Inform they were full and there is a waiting list. Requested to be placed on the waiting list there is a fee of $30 just to be put on the waiting list regardless of a spot opening up or not! Robbery!

UPDATE 1/4/16: After seeing my review the administration reached out to and updated their policy in regards to the mandatory enrollment fee to use online payments. Apparently they will be providing the option to parents rather than making the online payments mandatory. This is much appreciated and I felt heard about the complaint I had. While it was upsetting for the higher administration not to get back to me after emails and calls it was nice to know the person I see on a daily basis kept my issue at the top of her priority list. I did want to add that the preschool director is amazingly kind and communicative with parents. There are weekly emails from her in regards to the activities at the school and that allows parents to participate more than most of the schools we've had experience with. Previous Review: My son has now been attending the preschool for a whole month and while I am quite impressed with teachers and amount of care and concern they show the children I am not impressed with policy or administration. I was told online payments were available during my tour of the school however it was not mentioned that they were mandatory and to make online payments you would need to pay a $50 fee on top of 2.75 percent fee for each transaction. This amounts to roughly $265 during a calendar year in addition to tuition. When I spoke to the preschool director who is lovely she mentioned I would need permission to opt out of the online program from the school director. I emailed a week ago, called the next day and left a voicemail, and still have not heard back from anyone. When my husband paid the bill in full with cash he was told there would be a $50 for the online program. I understand that this may be affordable to some parents but I feel God calls us to be a steward of our finances and to pay an additional $264 per year to pay someone is not a lesson we should teach our kids. Convenience should not trump good sense when it comes to finances. Hoping someone will call me back.

My Children have attended ILCA for years. I can honestly say that even though I graduated from the Union school system, I could not imagine my children ever attending another school. The teachers are incredible and show not only passion for teaching, but loving compassion for the children. Every student has the opportunity to pursue their individual interests, whether that is athletics, fine arts, academics, etc... So many times children get lost in the crowd and are afraid to pursue what they love or are told they just aren't good enough. This school gives every student that chance to pursue their dreams and is a true gem and a blessing to our community!
