Strickland Christian School

Our oldest daughter went here through 2^nd grade and now my youngest daughter is here and will likely be here through 2^nd grade as well. It is a great foundation building school and as mentioned in the other review they are loved and learning. They are all about the phonics and start reading by the end of pre-​K (K4). They also build a strong Christian foundation which is extremely important. We are blessed to have this school as an option to us.

After relocating to the area suddenly, I was tasked with finding a school that would fit 2 of my 3 children… Hands down, Strickland was the best suited & cost effective option for private school in Austin. Having children in both Elementary & Middle school grade levels, I’m speaking from a broad perspective. They are challenged in their learning and taught to have respect for themselves & others. It’s what I try to teach at home & it’s the environment I’d like them to be in away from home. The little ones get PLENTY of time for play & socializing from about 11:30am until pick up at 3pm (for full day). The classes in the upper grades are a lot smaller, so the kids get lots of attention to their work & study habits in preparation for High School. All in all, it’s been a win-​win situation for us!

Our daughter has been in K5 and 1^st grade here. She has surpassed all of our expectations being here. She is now about to finish 1^st grade and is already doing multiplication problems, reading and saying bible versus in Spanish, and she has mastered her reading, which she learned K5. We would highly recommend Strickland to anyone looking to give their child a great education.

Our child is in a K5 class at Strickland Christian School. While our child has learned a lot during the school year thus far, the School’s disciplinary guidelines need a serious overhaul. The school excels in academics (I will not discredit their learning program at all), especially when the 5 year olds are learning phonics, cursive writing, mathematics and reading. However, they take corporal punishment too far for the younger kids. I disagree with my 5 year old being paddled after 4 marks for things like: playing with sweater zipper, not following wall pointer, playing with pencil box, talking during prep time (i.e. before school starts), etc. Live and Learn.
