It will cost me hundreds of dollars during the summer to make up for their laziness and non-caring attitude. Unless you have a spanish speaking student dont waste your time at this school. Better to home school them where at least homework is graded and not just looked at to make sure something was written??? The staff don't know their left hand from their right and the students suffer from all this chaos. The classes are way too big for any non A student to get any help at all. They just care about filling the seats to get their money from the state.

I was reluctant when I first heard his parents were thinking of making the change, however they did their research and my grandson is flourishing.

Through your patience, guidance, and dedication, you helped shape Lily into the confident, smart, kind, and resilient young girl she is today. You celebrated every milestone, encouraged her through challenges, and always made her feel safe, valued, and loved. As parents, we say goodbye with tears in our eyes but full hearts, knowing she is ready for the big world ahead because of the foundation you helped build. The lessons, confidence, and values you instilled in her will stay with her for years to come. Thank you for loving our girl and helping her become the amazing person she is today. We will forever be grateful for the impact you have had on her life and our family. Tearfully, but knowing she's ready for her next adventure--Lily is signing out. Thank you for everything.

She loves going to school every day and learning new skills and play with her friends. Despite several issues along the way, I also very appreciate Ms. Sarah, the director of the school. She is very informative and knowledgeable. She always follows up with issues that we raised, follow through and come up with solutions that work for us.

It went from name calling(vocabulary I didn't know kids that age had) to physical. The teacher, principle and yard duty supervisors have been made aware of the situation MULTIPLE times and NOTHING has been done to correct the situation. The principal claims to be doing all she can but does not say what and nothing shows. Most recently it escalated to these kids using my sons friends to set him up to get jumped with one of them pushing him down and putting his knee on my son's back and then stomach, making it hard for him to breath. I don't know what is going on at this school but it is a joke, not a single kid has been suspended or expelled and the principal always claims to be too busy to speak to my wife. Looking into transferring my child to a different school and will be reporting this to the district. Going to look into getting this on the news as well to expose what is going on in this school.

Not only do they emphasize academic progress, they also balance the curriculum out with fun, play, music, foreign language (Spanish) and teach to make sure the students become well rounded citizens of the Earth. The student body is already very well diversified! The school is very well organized under the school principal Ms. Kaya. Staff of whom we have interacted with are extremely nice and responsive to any concerns. Tuition is one of the most reasonable you can find in the whole Bay Area, the value each student get is tremendous! The tuition even includes extended care which in already pays for itself! Especially for busy family with both full time working parents. Public schools usually ends around 2:30, but your tuition includes extended care until 6:00! I think my husband and I are both in awe, every month, on how little we are paying for a "private school" education. In fact the tuition is very similar to our local public schools after school program, and that program was suppose to already run by a registered non profit organization! Our family is extremely grateful that we have found this school. And grateful for all the teachers and staff our children have had so far. Big shout out to Ms. Mary (which my children talk about everyday, even if they have already moved on from her class), Ms Divine, and Ms. Contreras. Special thanks to all the administrative staff: Ms. Maria, Ms. Hernandez, Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Mary-Ann and countless others! I am surprised that not more people know about this hidden gem! Maybe the parents of students going to the school wants it to stay that way! The way we found out about this school was a referral by our friend. I heard that the Union City campus is already at full capacity every grade and is baffled why the CV campus is not yet. But don't take my word for it! Contact the school and take a tour yourself. You don't know what your kids are missing!

Okay. So this is an honest review about this school from one of the later students. Now this is…read morejust my opinion, but this school has honestly made me the MOST depressed and anxious due to the amount of homework and schoolwork this school gives us. And some students need rest, some people aren't even getting enough sleep from the schoolwork they are getting. That is why they are sleepy all day and has bad grades, and honestly are gonna make their mental health worse. Okay, before you jump at me. Middle school is the most common year where you have the most mental health problems and the most drama, A lot of students teased me at this school about calling me Nick names I HATED and despised. And jokes about autism, and to be honest Its not that funny to joke about autism because It's a development disorder AND you cannot expect someone you know directly that has autism because that is kinda rude in my opinion. I have been relating to a lot of people and one comment on this school, and I completely agree with the "harming themselves" part, because I threatened myself to do it as well too, but I ended up not doing it because I know I am worthy and just like everyone else. But I might as well just stop yapping now because uhm yeah. ( Anyways the teachers are really nice and do give you jolly ranchers if they forget your name lol. ) I don't know if its only part of seventh grade though.
