In my experience of 20 years teaching, when the prep teacher comes, the regular classroom teacher…read moregoes away to create lesson plans. However, at Riverside, the teachers (instead of doing their job to create lesson plans, which is what they were supposed to be doing) choose to monitor the prep teacher and curriculum. What I've observed at Riverside is that the teachers lack classroom management skills, and instead, yell and intimidate. They are not teachers. They are bullies. They bully students and teach bullying as a role model. I actually saw Ms Hayworth say, "because you are bad, I will not teach." I heard a teacher say to the class, "You embarrass me." Ms Benda also ostracized a boy by making him sit apart from the rest of the class. This student told me "I want to kill myself." When it was reported, the teachers and principal said, 'he just wants attention." Ms Benda said, "I could choke you!" to a teacher who had told her class they would get out early before she had the chance to tell them. If you are a parent, beware of teachers Benda, Wong, and Hayworth. If your child has one of these for a teacher, you may want to sit in or help out to see how they function.

My twins attended TK with Mrs. Berry, and we had a wonderful experience with her. She was incredibly loving, patient, and kind with both of my boys. They felt comfortable and cared for in her classroom, and I always felt that she genuinely knew and cared about them as individuals. We were very grateful to have her as their teacher during such an important first year of school. Throughout our years at the school, our children have had caring and attentive teachers who genuinely seem invested in their students and their well-being. We have always felt that our kids were safe, cared for, and known by their teachers, and they have been happy during their time here. Like any school, no experience is going to be perfect, and there have certainly been small things along the way that we may have handled differently. But whenever we have had a concern, we have felt comfortable communicating with the teachers and school and have found them receptive. Overall, we are grateful for the care our children have received and the relationships they have formed here. Based on our family's experience over multiple years and with multiple children, we would absolutely recommend the school to other families.

Over the years, we've experienced everything from preschool and TK/JK through Kindergarten and 1st grade, and we've been so grateful for the teachers our kids have had. They have all been incredibly supportive, caring, and genuinely invested in helping our children learn and grow. They challenge them academically while also encouraging them to be curious, confident, and excited about learning. One of the things we appreciate most is the sense of community. The school not only focuses on education, but also on teaching kindness, respect, and how to be a good person and friend. Overall, we've been really happy with our experience and love being part of this school community!

Waldorf education is a world class education serving the children with a wide variety of subjects and languages, math and science all given through the arts. "Education from the inside out" the children are thought to freely think and with empathy and compassion for each other and the world. This is our fourth year at the school and our two children are loving it! Every year we fall deeper in love with the curriculum, teachers, and community members! Truly, a futuristic school that gives a Renaissance style of education with top-notch educators and holistic minded families. It would be in your best interest to take a tour of the school and then you will be able to see and feel the uniqueness for yourself! Don't be surprised if you see healthy children running and skipping and singing and climbing trees and gardening and playing games together just like schools should be producing healthy, open minded free thinking, individuals!

Mr. Swanson, the principal, has great insight, experience, and compassion. The teachers are patient, present and creative, providing an engaging and exciting academic environment. This is a fabulous and culturally diverse school that has small class sizes, a before and after school extended care program, and a preschool. I highly recommend scheduling a walk through or attending one of the many community events. St David's "Santa's Breakfast" is Sunday, Dec 7th, come see what the hype is all about! The school's mission statement: It is the mission of St. David of Wales Catholic School to consistently provide a safe environment for academic and spiritual growth. Our school fosters the teachings of Jesus Christ in our students by promoting Catholic values. We prioritize moral and social responsibility and academic achievement. We cultivate global citizens in a culturally diverse community by promoting respect for all of God's creations.

Saint Mary's College High School came into being as part of St. Mary's College in Moraga, It was…read morefounded in 1863 by the Catholic Church, and put under the auspices of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in 1868. Saint Mary's is Albany's other High School, although the main entrance is on the other side of Codonices Creek in Berkeley. None of my kids went to school here, although I have been on their pretty, green, and 7 building campus several times. My most notable experience involved Leo, a now departed orange tabby cat that decided to run away from home, and take up residence at St. Mary's. In fact, when I found him, he was hanging out under a tree and holding court with a few students. After I took him back home, the school called to make sure that he was OK and to tell me that the kids really missed him! He was a great cat.

I danced, played softball, tennis, basketball and volleyball. I loved AP US History and struggled mightily with Calculus (followed in my older brother's footsteps). I also went surf camping in San Diego, and skiing and snowboarding in Tahoe while staying in a cabin my teacher made by hand. There was so much opportunity and goodness all around. Saint Mary's is diverse, loving and inclusive in all the best possible ways. I treasure my time there. The teachers especially stood out to me; they cared so much for all of us. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to spread my wings amongst that true forward-thinking, open-minded, open-hearted community. This school epitomizes the magic of the Bay Area to me. It is so real and so aware. How very lucky I am to have called it my school.
