Went to school here early 2000's…read more I came to this school as a kid, and I remember a teacher smacked me on a field trip because I was reaching for some plants, I was later taken to the vice principles office and he basically gaslit me, and said I was wrong and I shouldn't say or do anything about it. I was small and didnt know better. Also a lot of the staff was abusive and would mistreat children. Mr.C was the worst, mid life crisis dude with shades on all the time, and Mario the janitor was a creep who would make us pick up trash without being able to wash our hands. Still. Maybe this is me just venting but I wouldn't recommend you bring your children anywhere near this school, not to mention the area its in. I reviewed this place on google, copy pasted my review on here just cause maybe more people would see it. Don't take your kids to this school.

The elementary school (and pre-K) has a great creative vibe with caring teachers and staff. There's also a level of mentorship since the little kids get to see the older kids showcasing art, film, performances, and playing sports. There's outdoor education in Elysian Park where middle school students have elementary buddies which enables learning on both sides. The High School is great - interesting courses, sports, art, film and performance, and college admission rates are stellar. The small student body allows for personalized college admission counseling and planning.

The individualized attention afforded due to the small class sizes is invaluable - Comforting in the elementary years and crucial in the middle school years.

I recommend Pilgrim without reservation!

My eldest began in 2004 and my youngest is in the class of 2018. NDCS has to be commended on the excellent job of not only helping the children pass middle and high school but also prepare them for college. My two oldest sons currently attend Cal State University Schools and are both doing excellent. I attribute that in part to the hard work of the teachers, administrations and counselors. The discipline policy is quite severe and the school operates under a zero tolerance policy. Any violations to the handbook policy result in suspension or expulsion. Deans Smith and Porter and no nonsense administrators and will reprimand students. One of my sons thought to test the system and learned that the school will handle any disciple problems quickly and efficiently. After that call into the dean's office, there were no more problems with that son. Teachers are not required to give passing grades. Many students have been failed by their teachers and were required to make-up the class through NDCS or through other local schools including LAUSD. NDCS is an excellent school with a fantastic staff.

Living in Los Angeles is usually a dream lifestyle most people can't afford and I've been blessed…read moreenough to have a smooth transition from the calm of hacienda heights to the hustle and bustle of L.a. That is of course, until it was time to enroll my child in school. Growing up in a beautiful area and attending great schools meant that I wanted nothing less for my child. As I searched for private and charter schools I was very unenthused about the service and curriculum they offered. A part of me wondered if I had made the proper choice by moving to the Los Angeles area. Finally, I looked into public schools but was skeptical. With all the negative publicity, safety concerns, and lack of funding for the public school system I was mortified but attended a small orientation anyway. Upon entering the campus I was guided by smiling staff to a library for the children and then seated. Waiting for the orientation to start I couldn't help but notice how organized and thoughtful the staff was. They offered headsets to Spanish speakers and a translator to answer their questions along with those of the parents of English speaking children. Once started the principle wasted no time in outlining goals, expectations, and benchmarks the school had for children and their parents. I was impressed by the PowerPoint and overall direction the school administrators were trying to take. As I continually drilled the principal with questions and concerns he did not budge. His enthusiasm and commitment assured me I was at the right place and that my princess would be obtaining the education she deserved and I expected. Overall, I'm so blessed to have stumbled on to such a rare gem. The campus and staff easily make this the right choice for parents in the Los Angeles area.

The teachers and staff are all so kind, genuine, loving and generous. The school offers an incredibly nurturing environment. The academics are also top-notch and the teachers tailor learning to students (for example, if your child is more advanced in a particular subject they will ensure he or she stays challenged with more rigorous assignments). My son has flourished since becoming part of the ICS family. If you are contemplating enrollment I would not hesitate. Between the steadfast commitment to academics and the nurturing environment ICS truly is an exceptional place.
