Founders Classical Academy of Schertz

"I applied for my daughter to this school as second choice to their sister school Foundation School of Autism and got accepted. I called yesterday because they said I had to accept her placement by 4PM. I was extremely interested but just asked to be in touch with their special education teacher as my daughter is Autistic and want to make sure she’s getting the best education… I was informed I would be getting a call from the Special Education Dept. but received no such call then her placement was declined. Extremely disappointed in how they handled this. I’ll take my daughter somewhere else happily, thank you."

"My children love it here. I love the community and curriculum. The teachers are excellent with my children. They foster honor and values, for self and others, and it shows in the children. The curriculum offers a challenge to the individual. It’s a classical education with a strong appreciation for history and all cultures, though math and science also seem to strive for a grade higher. I appreciate the encouragement of my children to live up to their full potential while making learning fun. The parents are involved and encouraged to participate in school functions. I’m so thankful to have found this school. I feel my children are safe and carefully mentored."

"I was a student there in 2017-19. I didn't have the best school years when i was there because the had outrageous rules . As a second grader at the time i would love to wear my cat ear headbads or bows just like any normal child would. I would get in trouble tons of times because of it. One time in 4th grade i had chapped lips and they thought i was wearing lipstick and i got in trouble because of the " dress code". For discipline they would have different colors of paper that were stapled together and if you were bad they would make you move a laundry clip with your name on it to the peice of paper under it . The teachers would basically embarrass the kids in the process"

"I am completely satisfied with the education my daughter is receiving from this school. All her teachers have been amazing. We are not in the "inner circle" like it has been addressed in the reviews, but we have still had a great experience. I would consider myself kind of an outsider when it comes to the involvement of the school, but my daughter is still doing so well at Founder's regardless of my involvement. With that being said, I do appreciate and love how much all the parents come together and help out. It is very much appreciated and I love em for it! Thanks to all of you that help to make this school greater every year!"

"I have written this review over and over in my head since pulling my child in Feb’ 18. The first year he attended was fantastic. His third grade teacher set the bar of what a teacher should be. The second year failed in comparison. His teacher refused to communicate in an appropriate amount of time, often times taking a month to respond. My son was having issues specifically in math and she never offered tutoring. I found out later from the assistant headmaster that she does a group tutoring session every morning and he wasn’t sure why she never offered it to us. She was supposed to reach out and contact us and went 10 weeks before I said something to the headmaster. During those 10 wks I hired a private tutoring to help my son. My son ended up failing math that semester and when I went to the head master and begged for help for my son he was condescending and ultimately opted to change my son’s grade to a passing grade instead of helping him. The nurse at this school is wreckless and dangerous. She didn’t follow an asthma action plan and landed a kid in the hospital for a week. My son had an allergic reaction playing in the back field while at school. Instead of calling me like he begged her to she applied calamine lotion to his skin even when he said no and told her he couldn’t have that because of his sensitive skin and to call me. My son was 9 and old enough to advocate for himself and she dismissed him. He also dislocated his knee in PE while at school and she didn’t realize he was injured (even though he was crying) and had him walk on it for nearly 3 hrs before calling me. Other parents have brought up broken bones that she missed and much much more. The nurse was never even disciplined. The school has a clique-type atmosphere among the parents and once you complain or bring anything up the pretty much blacklist you and tell you to leave. I would not recommend this school and urge you to look past all the “positive” reviews which are mostly written by the school’s inner circle."
