Im only writing this because a one star review was left for this school, and it was taken down. The person who left the review did not say anything offensive, or entirely false. It was their opinion. I don t know the full story and I will not blame the school for that, but it s something to note.

I went to nla for 6 years. I did not enjoy my time there. I met some good people, but the cliques and the judgements from everyone around me were overwhelming. I had more issues with teachers than anything else. There are a few wonderful people who truly care about the kids and let them know that, even if they don t necessarily like the child. However, if you aren t liked by a teacher, you ll know. Favoritism is a real issue.

I was extremely disappointed with the Bible classes/chapels/small groups. They are very repetitive and do not relate to the students very often. It s a burden for most students. It s not something they look forward to.

A particular bible teacher was amazing. I won t say names as I do not want this to be taken down, but he really helped me become interested in learning about God again.

Nla is trying, I see that, but for the people who aren t part of the cliques , it s an awful place to be. At least it was for me and most of the people I know. There has been an increase in people leaving the school after being there for many years. Nla just isn t what it used to be, or is trying to be. It s not a horrible school. It s just not the best option for some people.

It was a wonderful place for my brother, he loved it. But he was very popular. Many people enjoy nla, and power to them. It is a good place for many many students.

I know for some, nla was and is a great choice. For those who don t socialize well, it s probably not the best option.

Also what is going on with negative reviews being taken down?

I have changed my name, as the person who originally posted has received some not so nice comments from students. I do not wish to offend, I m leaving an honest review. Thanks for your time.
