School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>5 8/19/2021PCCA is an amazing school! I have children at both the lower and upper Palm Bay campus! Teachers and administrators actually care about students, want to see them succeed, and will do everything they can to see that happen! Yes, the kids have to put forth the effort, there is no easy A and if you don't follow the instructions, turn work in late, etc then your grade average will suffer but it makes for better all-around scholars when they realize the grade is 100% on them. While there can be mean kids overall the students here are respectful, polite, and well behaved. They understand what is expected and follow through. I look forward to watching my older child continue the jr/sr high journey and graduating from PCCA while my younger child has just begun their amazing Pineapple journey! At this point, I couldn't see sending my kids to any other school.5 6/26/2021I have two kids at PCCA and I am so happy they are!!!! PCCA has been a great atmosphere for both of them. They are challenged with the curriculum. The teachers are great, at least the ones my kids have had. I will have them both at PCCA until they graduate high school.1 3/31/2021My son is gifted, and PCCA is not able to meet his needs. He used to be excited about learning and now he dreads school. They say that they have a classics curriculum but really they have a dry and boring way of teaching that made my son want to move schools by the middle of this year. I felt like they are turning him into a robot. We are changing schools next year.Review Pineapple Cove Classical Academy. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
