Five stars doesn't feel like enough…read more My daughter has been attending PACE (Pacific Autism Center for Education) for almost five years now, and I truly cannot say enough good things about this incredible place. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with open arms, and we've felt like part of a caring, supportive community ever since. Her teacher, Miss Rebekkah, has been with her the entire time--and I honestly believe she is heaven-sent. The level of care, compassion, and dedication she pours into her students is something so rare and beautiful. She has made such a profound impact on my daughter's life, and by extension, on our entire family. I also want to recognize her amazing para, Isabel. She is an absolute gem--kind, patient, and so deeply committed to my daughter's growth and well-being. It's clear every day that she genuinely cares, and knowing that my daughter has both Isabel and Miss Rebekkah in her corner brings me so much peace and gratitude. Every staff member at PACE is wonderful. They go above and beyond, not just meeting the students' needs but truly seeing them--celebrating their strengths, patiently guiding them through challenges, and treating each child with dignity, love, and respect. We are endlessly grateful for the work they do. PACE isn't just a school--it's a lifeline, a safe haven, and a place where our children are empowered to thrive. Thank you, Miss Rebekkah. Thank you, Isabel. Thank you, PACE.

Who would have thought that Google's autonomous car had been an ongoing research since 2003? Almost every "upcoming" breakthrough in technology you hear in the news has been happening in-house long before everyone knows it, and SU is one of the best channels to get a good glimpse of this kind of technology. Learn first-hand how nanotechnology is used to curtail the world's leading causes of human maladies; be challenged to think exponentially - far beyond common case studies in tackling business and real-world scenarios through Kurzweil Technologies and X Prize Foundation; learn your genetic makeup and daily fitness analytics through 23andme's and fitbit's devices, and explore better ways of turning so-called obsolescence/untapped elements of the earth or solar system into sustainable and useful energy resources. The curriculum is converged by 2 programs: Executive Program and Graduate Studies Program. Leading thinkers from over 100 countries are selected to learn and share their ideas in space, robotics, networks, bioremediation / medical technological epiphanies among many others. From thereon, they can walk away with interesting ideas that can be applied to their respective lines of expertise and knowledge worldwide. The awesome part of this program is SU philanthropically chooses leaders in developing nations to enroll, all expenses paid, to grow more and provide better solutions to their nation's growing crisis. A noticeable demographics' basic necessities are not met in economically challenged societies, and SU aims to bring these respective pioneers to provide them with the tools and knowledge to tip the scales of poverty, hunger, and access to affordable medicine. Besides knowing what NASA has been up to lately, the best part is meeting very intelligent people and connections.

Esther B. Clark Schools are in the Children's Health Council group and provides educational…read moreservices for children in 2nd through 10th grades. In 2017 the South Bay Campus opened its doors. I cannot say enough good things about EBC. As parents of an extremely difficult child who had been diagnosed with a smorgasboard of conditions--Bipolar NOS, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Emotionally Disturbed NOS, Autistic High Functioning--we were at wit's end. The middle school special education class he was put into seemed to be more of a holding tank than a place where our son could learn, grow, and develop coping strategies. Numerous calls assaults against our other children, calls to police and stays at various psychiatric facilities did not seem to help. We were fortunate to have an amazing middle school principal who understood the situation and pushed for our son to attend EBC, which we had not heard of before. EBC has been a godsend. EBC gave us HOPE for our son. I cannot overstate how important this was for us. All special education schools can boast small classroom sizes and taylored educational curricula. What makes EBC stand out are the dedication of its staff, all the way from the teachers, classroom assistants, classroom behavioral specialists, therapists, to the administrative staff and the principal (director) of the school. Their dedication and ability to tolerate intolerable behavior always keeping an eye on the goal of how to best their students is nothing short of amazing! If you have a difficult child who is on an IEP in a classroom environment that you don't think is giving your child his or her best chance, I urge you to consider talking with EBC or touring its South Bay or Palo Alto campus.

As a former student, I had a negative experience at Esther B. Clark. The environment felt overly…read morebehavioristic, as I often felt conditioned rather than supported. This created a sense of learned helplessness instead of independence or emotional growth. One example of this, students including myself, would receive incentives such as gift cards from EBC to attend school by meeting the expectations set. This felt like more of a bribery to mask unwanted behavior instead of approaching behaviors and emotions from a psychological standpoint.
