Insider Pages Reviews for Terrytown Academy Inc
I have 2 children at Terrytown Academy and have had nieces and nephews that attended this school ALL of us are very satisfied with the school. The staff has always been helpful to me and my children. My children are learning things I never did in school…. I have checked with the state board of education and according to what they say a school needs Terrytown has more days then needed . We never have half days like most schools which I think is great as a working parent. I CAN NOT imagine any person there not feeding a child I have forgotten to give my oldest child lunch money and called to say I was bringing the money and was told do not make a special trip we always make sure they eat. …. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TERRYTOWN ACADEMY TO ANY ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This year was my kids first year attending TTA. The experience has been nice. The staff is always kind and courteous. I would suggest making a few adjustments to the lunch menu to add more nutritional items to the menu and allow students to bring more than just warm-ups and sandwiches. Overall my kids are learning and doing well so I have no complaints. Mrs. Cindy goes above and beyond the call of duty. My daughter is in the third grade and she is studying things that I don’t remember learning in the third grade. There is no doubt in my mind that the students at TTA are getting all the tools needed to succeed in life. My 4 year old daughter is in Pre-K she has learned so much this year already. She is very excited to go to school every morning. My children will be attending TTA next school year. TTA is an excellent school! I would encourage any parnet to look pass the negative comments and try them out for yourself. You will be amazed! I read these negative comments before I registered my kids at TTA and I am very glad I looked pass the comments and decided to give TTA a chance. It was the best decision I could have ever made for my children! I eat, sleep, & breathe TTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Private School on Westbank
by pearlyg123 at Citysearch
My children attend Terrytown Academy and we love it. The education hey are receiving is very good. Tuition price very reasonable compared to all other private schools on westbank. At lisadey, all text books are now new! The administration is always very helpful and caring to the students. I would recommend Terrytown Academy to anyone looking for a private school.

Dear Parents:
In today’s society you live your life and hope that you make an impact on bettering the world as you know it. In order to face the tasks that challenge you it is important that you received a good foundation in your youth to assist you in making the decisions in becoming successful in all of your dreams and goals. It has been my experience in the last sixteen years that Terrytown Academy provides this solid foundation for its students daily. Anytime that I am able to visit the school I walk away with more support, respect, education, and motivation to succeed. In my career I visit all types of learning institutions; private, parochial, and public. I meet hardworking educators wherever I go, but the unyielding commitment from the educators at TTA always make a lasting impact in my thoughts. These educators take care to give each of their students the attention they need. They spend 35 hours a week if not more teaching above state required curriculum, training, mentoring, and providing a caring positive environment with each student.
Congratulations to those TTA teachers for going the extra mile! To make a final decision in choosing the best school for your child I challenge you to go the extra mile- observe! At dismissal you see all these happy faces waiting to tell guardians about their day at school, or eager happy faces to tell a daycare worker how they spent their day. If time permits take initiative to be invited to a TTA graduation. I know parenting has unbelievable daily concerns, but know that your child at TTA is a guaranteed investment!
