We are a Chinese family, and Mandarin is primarily spoken at home. Consequently, my son is…read morebilingual in both Chinese and English. He's currently completed one year in a Kindergarten class at an elementary school, which operates in a 100% English-speaking environment, and he's thriving. My wife recently moved to Sacramento from the Bay Area for her job, so we're now looking for a new private school for our son. The Courtyard School is one of the options we're considering. When I initially called the school, a very kind and helpful 7th or 8th-grade teacher (whose name I can't recall) answered my questions. Ms. Fatima Lewis was equally gracious in our subsequent email exchanges. We were upfront in our communication, stating in an email that 'English is not his strongest area yet.' However, we then received a rather abrupt final notice from the school's principal, the esteemed Ms. Melissa Krause. The entire reply read: "Hello, I hope you are well. Thank you for your interest in Courtyard School. We do not have an ESL program so I don't think we would be the best fit for your daughter if she does not have a foundation in English. Thanks" I was quite frankly furious after reading this email, for two main reasons. Firstly, she naively assumed my son's English proficiency was poor. Secondly, throughout our entire email correspondence, we consistently referred to our 'son,' yet she inexplicably mentioned 'your daughter.' My wife, possessing a much calmer temperament than I, still managed to respond politely, even attaching the recent English assessment results from our son's current elementary school. Despite this, we received no further reply. Given these interactions, I am compelled to question the qualifications of the school principal, particularly regarding her reasoning and evident lack of attention to detail. Fortunately, this was the only school we contacted that didn't invite us for an on-site visit.

From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

A World-Class Learning Community -- and an Distinguished School…read more Both of my daughters have been a part of Merryhill since before they turned one, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, the school has provided a warm, family-like environment where students, parents, and teachers genuinely connect and collaborate. Merryhill's academics are comparable to top performing schools -- accelerated, challenging, and thoughtfully designed to help every student reach their fullest potential. As an Apple Distinguished School, technology and innovation are seamlessly integrated into the classroom, empowering students to think critically, create, and lead with confidence. Beyond academics, the variety of extracurriculars is extraordinary -- from Taylor Swift Club, Sewing, and Pokémon Club to sports and creative arts -- there's something for every child to discover and enjoy. Oh yes and Kids Kitchen ‍ The leadership of Mrs. Kennedy and Mr. Wallis has been remarkable. Their vision, compassion, and commitment to academic excellence create an atmosphere where teachers truly partner with families to nurture both the mind and heart of every student. From daycare at Merryhill Karista through elementary and middle school here at Merryhill Midtown has been a place of growth, belonging, and inspiration. We only wish there were a high school level to continue this incredible journey. Thank you Mustangs Parm Dhillon

Great little preschool! Both teachers are awesome, sweet…read moreand knowledgeable, my son loves going to school. Only 2 classes: morning and afternoon, about 10 kids in the class. They enjoy a huge yard, and a big classroom. Kids don't sit down to trace letters and numbers (although they do learn those too), they learn to be in other kids's company, follow instructions, sit in circle time, play with others and participate in the classroom. Essential stuff at 3, 4 years old.

I love that my daughter is cared for by all of the grown-ups who volunteer in the classroom, and that she has a relationship with each of them. I love that parent education classes are a part of the JMPNS tradition because it makes me feel like we're all figuring out parenting together rather than feeling competitive or isolated. I love that this school is a community project: The school really does reflect the values - of accessibility, equity, cooperation - that are important to the folks who choose to come here, and we're also always experimenting with how to do better. My family is in our second year, and we'll be here for another 2 with our second child!

I call Brookfield a unicorn school. We are parents of three children and I wish we had found out…read moreabout Brookfield for our older son who needed a more challenging educational atmosphere. He is now thriving in high school, but I do wish that we had the experience we are having now with him when he was in elementary and middle school. My middle son is a transfer student to Brookfield and my youngest is starting out at the Preschool. About our experience: First, touring the school my husband and I were so impressed by the diversity, the ideology of the school, the atmosphere and the attentive nature of staff and teachers. Second, the fact that they have a preschool/elementary/middle school in one space is dream for us and the way that each grade level has their own space is also incredible. Finally, we were beyond thrilled that our children are not only learning the standard subjects, but they are also have Spanish, Music, P.E and computers almost everyday. This is above and beyond the majority of schools we have toured and researched. Why I highly recommend Brookfield to families: + Education + Testing prior to acceptance to ensure your child/family will be a good fit for the school and assurance that they will thrive at the appropriate grade level +Diversity + Child care before and after school included in tuition + Spanish, Music, Technology and Physical Education classes almost daily +Teachers and staff have a true interest in your child's best interest + Option to have extracurricular activities before and after school + Caters to children who are in preschool-8th grade + Great playground and outdoor seating + Vibrant student culture + Safe and secure + Excellent communication and online access for parents to teachers and administration The list goes on and on...I am thankful to Dr. Jo and all of the staff for creating such an amazing space. Our children are so happy when they get home and look forward to going back to school each day.
