My granddaughter just started TK here at St. Pius Catholic School in Chula Vista. She loved it! The…read moreteacher is wonderful! She is so kind and compassionate with the kiddos. Her classroom is so welcoming and colorful. Perfect for the new little learners. Lots of great resources on the wall. Her classroom is warm and so inviting. Highly recommend, especially because class size is small, no more than 12 students. We didn't want 20 little learners in a classroom at this learning age. The principal is awesome! She really cares about her staff and she pretty much knows all the students by name. Academically she is always finding new ways to improve student learning to help benefit them. She is compassionate and you can see she really loves her school. She is always outside ready to help wherever. She is also very approachable. Teachers are caring and supportive. They do everything they can to benefit the students and help them succeed. This school has a very family oriented environment and you feel welcomed. I'm a substitute catholic school teacher myself, I go to different schools and I would highly recommend your TK child join this TK class and this school community. No more than 20-30 students in a classroom.

This school feels like it hires teachers straight off the street with no degrees, no experience,…read moreand no clue how to teach. The turnover rate is ridiculous -- they fire half the staff, then randomly bring back the ones that probably shouldn't have been teaching in the first place. The priest running the school? Honestly, he's driving it into the ground. Leadership is chaotic, and at one point he even straight-up lied to the whole student body. Trust is gone. one time the priest/science teacher said most of the kids are going to end up dying in there parents home. Most teachers here don't care about the students at all -- they hand out demerits like they're Oprah giving away cars. "You get one! You get one!" -- for literally nothing. No support, no guidance, just constant punishment and confusion. This place doesn't feel like a school. It feels like a mess held together by duct tape and prayer (and the prayer ain't working).

Grateful for all the memories shared here and for the love that this school has showered my children with over the years. COLA's staff and Ms. Barbara have been like family over the years and have given my kids unconditional love and support during our time here. The education COLA provides is top notch and fully prepared my kids to tackle grade school. Thank you COLA for the academic prep and care your staff have blessed our family with. We are so grateful and wish this school continued success! If you want a preschool that provides quality education and care, look no further!

I don't like to give bad reviews to small business owners but what happened to our boy on his last…read moreday of pre-school was unacceptable. I am a foster mom and had two boys that attended COLA, one of them graduated last year and the little one was still there. We see everybody at the school 3 days a week and bio mom takes him to class two days a week. This arrangement went on for an entire year. On 7/14, we dropped off our boy to his last day of pre-k. My husband picked him up early to bring him home and get him ready for his ceremony and at 11:47 I receive I text message from my husband asking if I noticed a scratch and bruise on his face. I had not noticed any scratches or bruises but I remember taking a video of him that morning eating breakfast and took pictures of him before he went to school and those injuries were not there. He came home with a very noticeable scratch on his lower lip, a scratch above his lip and a bruise on the other side of his face. By this I had already sent the director and the owner a text asking what had happened at school and why we weren't notified. I was very upset and asked to find out what had happened. When my husband was at the school the director told him that my boy said it happened at home but he told my husband it happened outside during one of the recess breaks. When I asked my boy, he said that a teacher was there, he cried and also a student was there. The owner responded to my text by saying "we will take it up with his mom thank you". That was not the answer I was expecting, I wanted an answer. My boy just came home with his face messed up on his final day. Any parent would be concerned and want answers right away. I called the bio mom and let her know what had happened, since we had already agreed to meet at the school at 1 I told her I would see her there and we could speak with the owner and try to find out what happened. During that exchange, the owner would not speak to my husband as well. I understand that bio-mom is the legal person that the owner has to notify and speak to but it is not up to the owner to deny speaking at all when it was obvious that the bio-mom wanted us there and had no issue with us hearing what had happened. Bio-mom consented to us being there so the owner had no right to deny us information or to make that decision for bio-mom. I believe that the owner only wanted to speak to bio-mom because she knows that she could easily intimidate, manipulate, or talk down to her which she can't get away with when speaking to us. From the point when the owner first arrived at the school, she was more concerned with ignoring us and being disrespectful then to actually show any concern about the boy. Not once did she look at him, ask about him, or inquire about what had happened. She was more upset about us "demanding" to know what happened than anything else. The owner further stated that the boy getting injured "did not matter" because it was the last day of school. Funny thing was that less than 48 hours before I was yelled at by a teacher during a field trip on a hot day because I was giving my hungry and thirsty boy water and food. A day later, the owner confronted me again about that same incident. Apparently giving water and food to a child does matter but a child getting hurt 48 hours later "does not matter". The owner of COLA and as such has to take ownership when things go wrong. She can't hide behind her bad attitude or want parents to wait over 72 hours later to have a meeting with her. Apparently, she had no time after the ceremony, or Saturday or Sunday to review the video of the incident. She has no people skills to say something to the effect that she is getting prepared for a graduation but will look into the incident immediately thereafter. She constantly escalated the issue instead of being professional. A simple demonstration that she cared about what had happened would have sufficed. She was more upset about us "demanding" to know what happened like this incident was something insignificant. Apparently it was insignificant because in her words, a child getting hurt on the last day of school "does not matter". Some people try to hide their true self behind religion but the owner puts on this façade that she is this caring and nurturing educator and just because she runs a religious school she thinks that those qualities, values, and morals that one associates with religion will somehow be attributed to her as well. People will undoubtedly show their true qualities, values and morals and it took this incident to show her true colors!i

This review is long overdue, but well deserved…read more The son and I have had such a great experience here, transferring from Emory Elementary in the South Bay Union school district. What a huge difference! The teachers have been more engaged and involved, and really cared about my son's transition. He absolutely loved going here from 4th - 6th grade. He made some really good friends here. The teachers took an active role in making sure my son got the best education - a big shout out to Ms. Rodgers and especially Mrs. Ruperto. Ever so kind, caring, and communicative, she noticed that my son was not as productive as he could be; and, because of her diligence, my son got the support and help he needed, as he was diagnosed with a mild cognitive learning disorder. He now has the resources he needs to learn efficiently at his pace. I also loved the principal, Dr. Grisier. Never have I seen a principal more actively involved with the staff and students, he's out there directing traffic in the morning and afternoons, walking around just to see and say hi to all the students, staff, and parents. Honestly, this school is one of the best out there.

Highly recommend this school for all elementary students and the campus has a great team that keeps the school clean as possible. My kids have been coming here for now 4 years and will say it's been the best experience. Thanks so much mrs.lines for being a great role model for our students. They do announce minutes for 15 minutes in the morning teaching the kids on how to learn and interact with one another and always be in your best behavior. Every morning they teach kids to be a leader and I really like that.
