We recently moved to the area and were overjoyed to find a school that would offer our son a supportive learning environment where he could thrive for his high school years. Center Academy-Riverview doesn't disappoint! He is excited to go to school and has made many friends. The academics are just right, and he feels supported emotionally. The attention he receives assures his needs are met academically and social-emotionally. My only criticism is that there isn't any parental involvement, and communication between the classroom and home isn't very high. I would highly recommend this school to any neurodiverse students!

This school was amazing. I'm a senior graduate of 2024, and this school helped me to get here. Mr. Stone was one of the best Principals a student could ask for. For 6 years, I made memories at this school, so many great memories. I truly miss my classmates and I hope to see them again sometime in the future. This school made me comfortable to the point where I always showed my true self. Sure, there had been ups and downs between me and certain classmates, but we somehow still managed to get along at times.

This school and its staff are amazing. My son has had the best experience at Center Academy. He is excelling in his school work and making great friends. I would recommend this school to any parent whose child needs a place to fit in socially and receive more support from teachers. It has had such a positive effect on his view of school and on his confidence.

My son just started at the school for ninth grade. I wish we had found it sooner. He is so much happier and his self-esteem has improved so much. The school really is capable of dealing with the kids that fall through the cracks in traditional public and private schools. My son is thriving! And when you ask him- He can only say good things about the school. The staff is also very communicative and willing to work with us to deal with any sensory or ADHD issues. Just can't say enough good things about this school!

My son has been at Center Academy since 8th grade. He is now a senior and will be going on to college. The teachers know all the students and are so supportive. The principal is fabulous. Mr. Stone makes the effort to know all the students along with their strengths and weaknesses.

Center Academy is a very well run school. I have 2 children that have been going there for 2 years. We are planning on having them stay all the way through 12th grade. I love the fact that the teachers cater their lessons and learning styles to each individual child. Having 2 children with special needs, they thrive in this type of environment. Teachers and teacher assistants are great at communicating with me throughout the week. I also want to add that administration is excellent there as well. I always feel informed of what's going on within the whole school. The principal, Mr. Stone, has a very caring heart for all of his students there. It is very easy to be able to get in and talk with him about my children's needs. You can tell he has excellent leadership skills because his staff is great. Before my children went here, their self esteem was so low about school and learning. Since they have not only risen their grades from C`s to A`s and B`s, their confidence level has shot through the roof. I am forever grateful for this school. I look forward to the rest of the years they will be attending Center Academy.
