Not only is the curriculum excellent but but the teachers are wonderful and the environment outstanding. The parents of the other students seem top notch and we have a family-like atmosphere.

My husband and I sent both of our children to Notre Dame School. What we really appreciated was the…read morenurturing environment that we found. The academic rigor that Notre Dame provided also came with fun and challenging athletic and arts opportunities. We also loved how the school supports specials: students have a different teacher for music, fine arts, and physical education. Further, there is a fabulous after school theatre program run by parents who have passional and commitment to the theatrical arts. The hot lunch program is delicious and nutritious. We especially appreciated the upper elementary and junior high field trips to interesting places including: the Balclutha ship trip (5th), the Monterrey Bay (7th), San Francisco (6th), and Ashland theatre field trip in 8th grade. When we were there, parents also organized a Washington D.C. trip. The choir and music opportunities were embedded in the school program and classes, and all students learn the fundamentals of music. The proximity to the university also provided the students with enriched programs and activities such as the science lab just a hop, skip and a jump away. Notre Dame is a traditional looking school that values respect and community service, but teachers also bring the most relevant and research-backed best practices to the classrooms as well. One other aspect is that my children, during those turbulent junior high years, were not just around peers who they had grown up with, but were able to be role models and teachers for the younger students, as Mass buddies and teacher aides. I feel that the TK-8 structure keeps junior high students a little more innocent then massing all of the same-aged kids together at once, like the other junior highs in town. The financial investment is just that: an investment in our children. Well worth every penny.

I, too, was nervous for how my special needs boys (spectrum kiddos) would do without me and among other, special-needs peers. The staff at this school not only accepted them but continues to help both of them blossom beyond my wildest belief. The principal is fantastic. He's one of the kindest, sweetest people I've met. I can tell he genuinely cares for each of the kids in the school. The same can be said for all of the teachers and staff I've met as well. My kiddos and I particularly LOVE teacher Emily Gill in the Pineapples room and Erin the speech therapist. They really do employ the best of the best. Not only are the staff wonderful, caring people but the school is brand new and BEAUTIFUL inside. It's fully accessible for kids of all ages, needs, and abilities. It's clean and fresh and inviting. It's also colorful and engaging for kids who might be scared to go. I really can't say enough good things about this school. Send your kid(s)! You won't regret it!

So far my son has only had one teacher, Mathew, and my son loves him! He's learned a lot and has even taught me a few things I didn't know, and I've been driving for 37 years! Customer Service is excellent! I spoke with quite a few, but Ashley went above and beyond and I appreciate their kindness and efficiency. After we *both* learned a few things from Matthew I'd say that if you've been driving for a long time, it's a good idea to pick up a California Driving Handbook. Not only were professional driving schools not required back in the 80's and early 90's, but a few laws have changed since then and it's a good idea to freshen up your knowledge of the California road rules, regulations and safety etc. Lessons are expensive no matter what, and they're all about the same price. Coastline tends to be available within a few days, so if you're looking to book a lesson ASAP, they're the ones to call. I'm definitely going to have my daughter use Coastline, and I definitely recommend them to anyone!
