Parents' Success Stories

On August 13 of 1786 Thomas Jefferson wrote this to George Wythe:

‘I  think by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowledge among the people. No other sure foundation can be devised, for the preservation of freedom and happiness. . . Preach, my dear Sir, a crusade against ignorance; establish & improve the law for educating the common people. Let our countrymen know that the people alone can protect us against these evils (tyranny, oppression, etc.) and that the tax which will be paid for this purpose is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance.’

This is exactly what you have done. You have laid the foundation of Happiness and Freedom for my daughter and so many other kids before and for that I am endlessly thankful to the both of you.

I am so grateful for the work you guys do each and every day. Every morning my daughter work up excited to go to school and always striving to do better. Not one day went by where had to worry about my child because I knew that you guys had it handled. The thing I am most thankful for is that you guys are like family and I really appreciate the love you shared with [my daughter] each and every day.

You guys are absolutely incredible beings-thank you for all that you did for my daughter and all you will accomplish going forward.

M.S., Parent of Kindergarten 2 Graduate

It was just so great to experience your school this summer.
My son loved the classes and teachers, and his friends.
He said that he could stay for another 3 years !!!

He became more open, more cheerful, and healthier.
As a mother, and as a educator, I can say that your school is one
of the best schools in the world!!!

We need to make one in Japan, too!

We’ll come back soon.

Clearwater Academy is the most amazing school I have ever seen. Kids are the happiest I have seen at a school. The teachers are the nicest. The executives are the nicest, yet effective that I have ever seen.

A true island of sanity. I am so proud my son is a student here.

Our wonderful son, Markus, graduated from Clearwater Academy International last week. The ceremony was like something from Broadway and the kids, all of them, were happy and uptone and ready for life. An incredible school with a great faculty and student body and a fantastic football team.

Thanks also to all the moms who were there for him when I could not be. He will go the the University of Alabama a kid at cause over life because of his experiences at CAI.

I am a Mexican mom, my daughter went to Clearwater Academy International only for a month. When we arrived she was more than terrified as she had never been in a different country, she had never been in a different school and even worst she has never been in an English-speaking school. She didn’t speak English.

Just by the end of the first day, she wasn’t terrified anymore and the next day she was interested to go, but by the third day, she was all excited to go and it just kept being better and better.

The first week she was already saying things in English but even better than that she was so interested in learning more. Her confidence increased incredibly in the very friendly environment of the school. Every day she looked more secure not only of the knowledge of English she was getting but also she looked more confident of herself.

It has been a year since she went to enjoy her summer at Clearwater Academy and she keeps asking me when is she going to go back, she keeps speaking about her wonderful teacher and she keeps having her t-shirt of the school las one of her greatest treasures.

The staff are so uptone and granted so much beingness to the children that it really creates a safe environment for children to obtain knowledge.

Thanks very much.
