There are a couple things that I think are worth pointing out to highlight. Curriculum This is no glorified day care where kids are playing all day. There is structured time for the kids throughout the day. My kids learned important life skills needed in the classroom, and had plenty of time to learn through play as well. The staff also gives updates through focused parent teacher meetings that allow you to track the progress and development of your kid as the year goes on. This was incredible helpful for us. Teachers The teachers our boys had were incredible. Kind, caring, intentional, engaging, patient, and supportive. But if I can highlight one thing, is that they are excellent at communicating with parents. They really helped to foster a parent/teacher partnership to help reinforce important values being taught. They helped thinking of out of the box approaches to help students become more engaged, and pass those along to parents. Any concerns were brought up promptly and were addressed. Overall we have been incredibly thankful for the staff and school. The support, care, and compassion they have for the students is immeasurable. We couldn't be happier.

We've had such a wonderful experience with the preschool program at Arcadia Christian School. As a…read moreparent, one of the things I appreciate most is knowing that our son is surrounded by teachers who genuinely care about him and are willing to communicate and partner with us through his different developmental stages. It has been so rewarding to see how much he has learned and grown since starting preschool. His vocabulary has expanded so much, he comes home singing Christian worship songs, and he's even started picking up Spanish words and singing songs in Spanish that he learned at school. Those little moments truly warm my heart because we get to see firsthand how much he is absorbing throughout his day. I also really appreciate the communication and involvement they provide for parents. We receive weekly schedules so we can follow along with what the children are learning and reinforce those lessons at home. His teachers have also been patient and communicative as we navigate milestones such as potty training, and I appreciate their willingness to work together with us and hear what has been successful at home. Most importantly, we love knowing that our children are learning in a Christian environment where faith is incorporated into their everyday experience. We also have a second grader at ACS, so our experience extends beyond the preschool program. We've been able to see firsthand the quality of education he is receiving while also watching him continue to grow in his knowledge and understanding of God. For any parents who have been praying and contemplating where to send their children, I would definitely recommend considering ACS, whether for preschool or K-12. Choosing where your children will spend so much of their time and who will help shape and teach them is such an important decision. We're grateful to have found a school where our children can grow academically, socially, and spiritually.

When I was in 3rd grade, I was assigned a report on Robert E. Lee. As a child from an immigrant…read morefamily, I didn't know who he was or the history behind the Civil War. I completed the report with my mom's help, writing about what we thought were positive things about an American general -- because no one, especially our teacher, explained otherwise. Instead of using that moment to teach or guide, Mrs. Olson embarrassed me in front of the class. That experience stuck with me even now. Looking back, I realize how important it is for teachers to be compassionate and culturally aware -- especially toward students who may not have the same background knowledge or support at home. This experience made me feel small and ashamed for something that wasn't my fault. This trauma I still think about today and always lingering in my mind, it will never go away. I hope the school now focuses on helping teachers better support students from diverse backgrounds and to use empathy, not humiliation, as a teaching tool.

She is also in sports and other key clubs that the school offers. As a strong leader, our principal has brought forth many new programs to IC like STEM and empowerment classes for our kids. I know that our principal always acts in the best interest of our students and strives to continue to bring great success to Immaculate Conception School. Being part of the IC School family motivates me to be involved because I enjoy the IC community and all that it stands for. I am definitely a proud parent of IC.

First of all, this establishment claims that it "empowers students to be innovative and creative problem solvers." However, this statement completely contradicts what I went through. When I was a freshman in high school, I was placed into an honors math class and felt that I was prepared for the year ahead of me. This honors class was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken even though I had taken the exact same class in eighth grade. My math teacher would often say that "You guys have seen this before" or "You guys should know how to do this from middle school." I didn't. I had no idea what I was doing when I got to high school and felt incredibly behind from all of my peers. The fact that the subject I felt the least prepared in was math coming from a self-proclaimed "STEM Academy" was beyond me. I know my limitations and math was not it. I had all A's in math while attending this school. One of the biggest things I NEVER learned in Algebra I at IC was mean/median/mode. I remember that everyone of my peers in that freshman year Honors Algebra I class already knew this from middle school.

Our son expressed that it was making him uncomfortable and told him to leave. The other child refused and did not stop looking at Michael's private parts. In fact, he made a comment to the effect of "Next time I am going to take a picture and send it to your Mom!" This is completely unacceptable behavior and frankly warrants taking action. Michael also expressed that he shared this experience with Ms. Alma who later shared it with Mrs. An, his 4th grade teacher, and Mr. Budd, Special Education Teacher, only to be told that Mr. Budd knows who Michael was talking about!?! We as parents were not notified until we reached out to the school, Sierra Madre Elementary School and PUSD. As of today, our son Michael has not received an apology from the student nor the teachers who he trusted the most to share this disgusting experience. When will SME and PUSD take accountability for their actions and mistakes!!!
