I recently attended my grandson's 8th grade graduation from Calvary Christian Academy.  What a…read moregreat ceremony with less than 40 students graduating, it went by quickly.  We are so used to sitting on some hot bleachers for two hours before they call your kid's name off the list at other schools. This was in a very nice air conditioned, newly remodeled auditorium. He is my second grandchild to graduate from this school, we still have one more to go and a handful of nieces & nephews who also attend. So overall we have been coming here to school performances and Holiday shows since my eldest grandson started here in 2011. He is now in High School at Mater Dei. I was a bit reticent when they started going to this school because I would have preferred them to attend a Catholic private school. Because we are Catholic. But as usual time has proven me wrong. The wonderful academic excellence and innovation, that this school provides has showed me that, the right choice was made. I see how happy and well rounded my grandkids have become. They are into sports, music; one plays the cello incredibly well. It seems that this school places a high priority on individual achievements, probably due to the 13:1 student teacher ratio. All of this with the added benefit of providing a moral education along with the academic one. The school is very well maintained, and the staff is incredible. Grandparents are treated as special guests; we even have a special day when the kids perform just for us. So, in my humble opinion this is one of, if not the finest private pre-school to 8th grade school in Chula Vista. I am a fan and I guess always have been. I highly recommend this illustrious private school!

I cant speak for the upper school, but I can speak for the preschool. It's amazing. Every teacher…read moreis loving and caring for their class and their families and they do the best they do to accommodate. I know this because I was able to see the inside of things. These teachers pray for their students, they take the time to make sure things are prepared for their students. And the director and assistant director or wonderful. This is a wonderful, safe and healthy environment for any preschool family from any form of background. One thing I loved about this school when I first started working there was even if you don't believe or aren't a Christian, this school will still accept you. And that to me, shows their true hearts.

Quiero compartir mi experiencia como padre de una estudiante que asistió a esta institución para…read morecursar la preparatoria. Mi hija siempre fue una alumna ejemplar, dedicada y responsable. Sin embargo, lamentablemente, durante el tiempo que estudió aquí, la escuela no demostró el compromiso académico ni el apoyo que uno esperaría para preparar a los estudiantes hacia su futuro universitario. En lugar de enfocarse en la orientación académica, la institución parece priorizar únicamente el aspecto económico, dando la impresión de que lo más importante para ellos es cobrar las colegiaturas, y no el bienestar ni el desarrollo académico de los alumnos. En varias ocasiones, mi hija y otros compañeros asistieron a clases sin la presencia de profesores, afectando gravemente la calidad de su educación. Además, quiero advertir a otros padres sobre situaciones sumamente preocupantes: existe un profesor que, en más de una ocasión, ha confiscado teléfonos celulares de los estudiantes y se los ha llevado a su casa particular, sin que la administración tome cartas en el asunto o brinde una solución formal para recuperar el dispositivo. En nuestro caso, la subdirectora Natalia nunca nos permitió hablar directamente con el director para resolver problemas. Mi hija sufrió el robo de una camiseta dentro de la escuela; las cámaras de seguridad se encontraban "dañadas" y, a pesar de que mi hija identificó a la alumna responsable y lo reportó, no se tomaron medidas. Mi esposa también intentó obtener respuestas llamando a la institución, pero nunca se ofreció una solución concreta. Es decepcionante ver cómo una escuela que en el pasado fue reconocida por su calidad y compromiso ahora ha caído a este nivel. Incluso la ceremonia de graduación estuvo a punto de no realizarse; únicamente se llevó a cabo gracias a la iniciativa de una madre de familia, y fue organizada prácticamente a último momento. En conclusión, no recomiendo esta escuela. Hay mejores instituciones que sí priorizan el aprendizaje, el respeto y la preparación de sus estudiantes para el futuro. Agradezco que mi hija haya concluido sus estudios aquí, pero no quisiera que otras familias pasen por la misma experiencia. Antes de inscribir a sus hijos, investiguen bien y consideren alternativas más responsables y comprometidas con la educación.

They have small class sizes (excellent student to teacher ratios), and their staff really exemplify Christian character. Not only do we see tremendous growth and achievement in our children, but people around us notice that our children are so well-mannered. We attribute this to South Bay Christian Academy. Sure, there are bigger schools - but it will be hard to find a better school, or better prices. They offer financial aid for their students, the students get university scholarships, and their students are able to begin concurrent college enrollment as early as the 10th grade. Plus, the students seem so well-connected to their Christian identity. One of our best decisions so far, has been the decision to send our three children to South Bay Christian Academy!

Years ago my husband and I had both of our daughters at this school. We liked it at first and then…read morehad our first problem...we ran into people at the school that were not racially sensitive. The Principal and the Headmaster were not supportive or helpful in trying to solve the problem nor did they uphold those school values. Fast forward, we discovered that not all of the administrators nor teachers were honest and ethical. We ultimately decided to leave the school and move up to the Poway school district where we have been very happy ever since. Our experience was so horrible at BCD that years later we still cringe when we think of this school. This is not where you want your children to go to school...and we discovered upon leaving the school that you can purchase their curriculum online for about $20.

Parents, enroll your kids here. for Pre-school, K-6th…read more This wonderful school deserves a 5+ star. The parents who don't even know this school are doing an injustice by rating it with just 3 stars. My 2 kids have been attending at this Bonita Country Day School ever since they can start to attend school at age 3. I stayed as long as I can & have been with this school since 2006. In regards to academic curriculum and excellence it is top notch and advance without pressure. BCDS curriculum is 2 years advance on average, and they supplement the lessons most times, so your kids will mostly likely be more than 2 years advance. My kids have been about at least two years academically advance for all their grades when they were tested. In comparison to all the many other elite Southbay and La Jolla private schools I had visited, BCDS is obviously advance. Some of those schools I checked out were even amazed to find out Bonita Country Day School 4th graders are actually doing high school math as a norm. Most new kids entering BCDS for older grades, usually needs help to catch up because they are behind at the other schools they have been attending. Kids are allowed to naturally reach their potential thru independent studies under close administering & guidance by instructors at BCDS. Parents who decide to enroll their kids here at Bonita Country Day School (BCDS) will come to appreciate it watching their kids grow intellectually & be independent thinkers. Many schools boast successful students but they cannot produce great student successfully on high academics like they do at BCDS.. If parents seriously compare curriculum, you will see why BCDS is the better choice. It shows when the kids do well when they have to move on to other schools by academics and exhibits wonderful demeanor. Bonita Country Day School has been known and proven to produce many students who are highly advance learners and thinkers successfully. Note, this school is not big on sports or fancy libraries, or pretentious show of technologies. It is about basic fundamental education to provide your kids with the building blocks for personal success. This schools tuition is a bargain if parents can recognize the real higher cost of putting their kids through standard or less than mediocre expectations at local public schools which are suppose to be free. It is the best money you can spend on your kids.. If you can find it or already have the money to spend on your kids, do it here . There is an average of less than 20 kids per class for every teacher. Its almost like you are getting private lessons for your kids. Sign up your kids now. I have been told, lesson will be provide for all grades, even if there may only be 1 student a particular grade. It's most accommodating here. Faculties from competing schools have been known to tell me on many occasions how they highly regard the talents of Mrs. C, the principle at Bonita Country Day. She does work with cooperative parents to help kids achieve high. All my suggestions and kind requests have been met during the time I have been at BCDS. I only have compliments at this school. She is especially gifted to teach & knows how to help your children grow to their fullest potential intellectually. She prepares them for the real world by helping kids slowly build their public speaking skills throughout the coursework in so many subtle ways too. That bonus part is not even mentioned in the curriculum. I have seen so many kids blossom under her special supervision.. This school is gentle in ways but do not expect your kids to be babied. The staff are nurturing, attentive and knows when your kids are feeling off or not well right away, or knows if they are just testing out the teachers patience. The kids are taught to be independent from an early stage through subtle discipline with simple routines that build up through the grade levels. It's awesome if you recognize what they are doing as parents. It is not a school to show off assets, the families who attend BCDS are mostly very successful, highly educated professionals who are also very humble. It is the right school if parents want outstanding results for their kids. Go there, & you will see... My 2 kids & I love it at BCDS!

They make you feel like your child is an inconvenience, it's truly so sad. Please parents, if you are in the National City School District go to any other school besides this one.

The principal, instead of helping, will make you feel like there's no other options besides pulling your kid out of school. If I could give it no stars I would.
