Christian Liberty Academy - Arlington Heights, Illinois

We love our school. We used to send our kids to one of the best public school districts in the country "D30 Northbrook". We made the switch here and could not be happier, it blows D30 away academically and socially it's not even comparable. CLA really has just been terrific all around. Most of the other parents are a real joy to be around too. It is a great Christ-centered school. I can't say enough good things about it.

Christian Liberty is an amazing school in its own right. (We pulled our daughter out of Public school starting in 6th grade, she’s in 8th now.) To continue if you compare it to the public school system it’s just head and shoulders above in every aspect. They actually use real books, they give out real grades not something you cannot decipher, they let the parents see their test results, and they actually teach math the tried and true method we all grew up with! At public school we couldn’t figure out if she was doing good or bad, here it’s very easy. The teachers are great, the curriculum is great, and it feels like one big happy family here. Also the theater department is just so amazing and the kids are very talented. I could go on and on…
I was hesitant to make the change to private school at first but we are so glad we did it was the best decision we could have ever made when it comes to our daughters education.

After attending CLA for 10 years, it was an easy decision for us to send all 4 of our children there. Every subject is taught from a biblical perspective and their theology is solid. I also love that my kids get to see each other at different points in the day. Highly recommend this school!

Absolutely love this school. Such a blessing to have a christian school in Arlington Hts. We initially just wanted to have our kids there for their preschool program. After seeing how much they learned and advanced in 1 year, we decided to keep them there and we have no desire to switch them to a public school anymore ( or any other school for that matter). They have very high academic standards and their curriculum is fantastic. I would highly encourage you to check them out!!!

I attended this school from 1968 to 1971. I had some wonderful teachers. However the assistant headmaster its was not. IN 1971he spanked me a 2 inch paddle made out of wood. I had bruises and could not sit down for a week. Then he brags that I was the only girl he hit.Since the assistant headmaster arrived, the school went down hill. I strongly disagree with the John Calvin teachings that "many are called, but few are chosen" Pastor Paul was wonderful. Be careful if you want to enroll your child. If you want your kid to be physically abused or gossiped about by staff then this is the perfect place to send your child. Otherwise stay away from this place.

I have been so impressed with the hands on approach that the staff have demonstrated throughout the years with the students. Their genuine love and care for all students from the maintenance staff, teachers, coaches to administration has been demonstrated throughout their entire school career and has carried over to their college career and life.

I have had 3 children attend and successfully complete grades Junior kindergarten through high school. They have had wonderful experiences in athletics, fine arts, theater, student council and pro-life activities. These extra curricular activities have enhance their Christian walk and prepared them for college and life beyond for the Glory of God.

The academics have been challenging and caused them to apply many different facets of learning to their Christian Worldview Perspective. Many times my children have complemented many of the teachers for the important impact of their teaching as well as their relationships that has made such a difference in their approach to college studies and applications.

The support that has been encouraged from one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, from the students, has been instumental in building my childrens faith through the good times as well as the very difficult times. Their is a great sense of community and accountability.

It has been a delightful, encouraging, Christ centered experience as parents along with my children to have been able to walked through this education process with Christian Liberty Academy while supporting us in many different areas of growth beside our children.

Being involved really helped us to be a part of the heartbeat of this valuable Christian education. We are so very grateful and blessed beyond words to our God for leading us here 20 years ago!

My 3 children have been going to CLA for 3 years, and two of them just graduated this year. The staff is amazing and well educated in their field of teaching. They truly care for each and every student and encourages them in ways I could not. When the school closed that my children were going to before, CLA was the top choice. After my kids shadowed for a day they were excited to start there. I would have to say my favorite program CLA offers is Drama. The plays and musicals are amazing. The students pour their hearts into each and everyone of their performances. If you are looking for a school that gives a 100% of time and love into their students, CLA is your school. I truly believe in this school and what they believe in.

Ive enrolled my daughter to senior kindergarten virtual. After finding out they wanted to charge for the entire school year even though we missed two months. I didnt think paying almost $600 a month for online class for abt 2 hours. So I was little hesitant to continue then found out teacher gave us wrong zoom infor so couldn't take the class, next day she was out so the following day she logged on w correct zoom dial-in. Even though we picked up school material, some of the material were missing like todays worksheet and handwriting book. She also complained that kids couldn't read well so realized this class wasnt a good fit. I left messages and sent email and did not hear from them till late. I explained all the details and that Ive decided to go with homeschooling this school provided. They now bill me $175 for one session of class even though I signed up for CLA homeschooling. I also paid 150 for registration fee. I highly recommend Schaumburg christian school who will treat you better and prices are better. I will never return to this school.
