## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: My child is still settling in, the staff are friendly but it's taking time for them to get used to the class routine. The facilities are great and the classes are engaging, but we're not seeing the academic progress we were expecting. Hoping it improves as the year goes on. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Wonderful School Experience!: My child has thrived in this school, the staff are caring and supportive and the facilities are excellent. The curriculum is engaging and the church values are lovely. We feel so lucky to be part of the DSJA community! *(Jun 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent School Day Structure: I love the way the school day is structured, the breaks are just the right length and the teachers make sure the children are well looked after. The after-school club is also a great addition, my child loves the activities they offer. *(Mar 2022)*
- **5/5** — Great Education and Values: My children attended DSJA and received an excellent education, they were well prepared for secondary school. The teachers were always available to support my children and the school values of kindness and compassion are truly amazing. Highly recommend! *(Dec 2020)*
