My sister and my cousins(2 of them still there) went to this school and it's a great school. The school has great teachers and I don't understand this person saying otherwise but it doesn't sound like they were here long enough to get a good feel for this school. Most the kids my sister and cousin graduated with started Emerson in preschool/Kindergarten and stayed to graduate high school and went on to great colleges. This school has a much more family like environment then most schools, is great in academics, & is just a great school over all! I definitely recommend this school as a person who has seen first hand how far their students get.

We are extremely angry by the way our son was treated here. He was evaluated several months ago and…read morethey approved for him to join Kindergarten this year. We enrolled him, paid a ton of money for registration and materials fees, and he started class last week. After the second day, the teacher told us that he would probably have to move to Pre-K because he can't sit still for a long time. It was surprising since they already evaluated him to be part of the Kindergarten, but we were fine if that were to happen. A few days later we meet with the evaluation board and teacher expecting for him to move classes, but instead, they tell us that they're kicking him out of the school entirely! Their reasoning was that they thought "something is wrong with him and he should be diagnosed with ADD". Let me count the ways the reasons they get 1 star: 1) For educators to tell someone that "something is wrong with your child" is extremely inappropriate. 2) Any educator that assume that a child has ADD after only a couple days of observation should not be allowed to teach. Our child has been to pre-school and we have a number of teachers and doctors in our circle of friends and family, and not one person has ever expressed any concern about his behavior. 3) They were not even willing to put him in a different class to see if that is a better fit for him. Their exact words were "there is no place for your son here". I'd think any school dedicated to a child's growth and education would TRY to adjust to help a child, not just shut him out. 4) They were not willing to give him more time to adjust to the new environment. Any person with a child or works with them knows that there's a period of adjustment needed for kids to adapt to new things...they completely disregarded this fact If we had been the type of parents to immediately trust these people and assume he has a problem, this could severely impact his life. Some parents would have put him on medication, enrolled him in schools for learning disabilities, etc., when really he is just a normal little boy. To top it off, they are now giving us the runaround now that we trying to get a refund for the $1000+ fees that we paid to enroll him. We were so excited for our child to go to this school, but now we are of the opinion that it's some sort of scam and are deeply regretting it.

I can not speak higher of Page Academy for my Son. His 1st grade experience with Ms Kaytee has been…read morebeyond wonderful. The attention and support he has received with the small class size has helped him in both his academic and social development. Ms Kaytee went above and beyond with providing a customized education that allowed my child to flourish and be challenged. The education and supportive framework that Mrs Kristen has put in place has resulted in a wonderful sense of community. Whether the children are participating in the bi-yearly musical performances or the yearly spelling bee, all the kids are encouraged and supported to try something new. At Page, parents do not need to worry about bullies or having their child fall between the cracks. The students are cared for and the teachers go above and beyond to ensure each child is supported while learning a solid curriculum. Thank you Page

One of the staff members at Page, Ms. Kristin is such a wonderful gift to our family. She's an amazing person who truly cares so much for these kids. What is even better is she understands each and every one of them on their level. She has helped my daughter so much as well as our family as a whole! We have grown into better parents, and have had the pleasure of watching our daughter go through all sorts of normal changes, as all kids do, while being able to get a better understanding as to the progression of life for a teen! Through it all, she has this huge heart for all of the kids, she has this amazing ability to be totally unbiased to all of Pages children! She's an amazing guide and support! All of the staff at this school is what makes the school so amazing. This is a group that doesn't judge anyone and treats everyone with respect and instills values in our kids, while keeping them safe! I cannot say enough good things about this school. What I do know is they have changed al of our lives for the better and I am forever grateful to them!

Now, 21 years…read morelater, as we prepare to finish our journey with the Class of 2026, it's hard to put into words what this school has meant to our family. SJDL has truly been more than just a school to us; it has been home. The most beautiful part of our experience has been the journey in faith. Watching my children grow not only academically but spiritually has been such a gift. Faith isn't just taught here; it's lived every day. Over the years, we have met incredible families and built friendships that will last a lifetime. Our children have formed strong bonds with classmates, and those friendships have grown year after year. There is something very special about being part of a community where everyone genuinely cares about one another. One of the things I have always appreciated is the small class sizes, usually around 15 to 18 students. It allows teachers to truly know each child, not just their name, but their personality, strengths, and areas where they may need extra support. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every student feels seen, supported, and safe. Knowing that safety is always a top priority gives parents incredible peace of mind. I've also seen the school grow and evolve over the years, offering opportunities in sports, theater, and other activities that allow students to explore their talents and build confidence. After 21 years, I can honestly say choosing Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac was one of the best decisions our family ever made. We are forever grateful for the love, faith, education, and community that SJDL has given us.

The staff was patient and kind, and it was clear they were working hard to accommodate him and help him feel comfortable. They communicated with us, tried different approaches, and truly wanted him to succeed, which meant a lot to our family. It's a warm, structured environment, and I can see it being a great fit for many kids who benefit from small-group learning and extra academic support.

We pulled him out of Montessori from across the street as the classroom is over-crowded and each student is not getting the attention they need. The director / owner of Shekinah has many good ideas and invests in plenty of learning materials for the classroom (e.g., internet, computers, books, tools, puzzles, etc (unlike Montessori across the street, which only has the name). The teacher (Ms. Julie) is great with the kids. She genuinely cares for the kids and they all love her. With a small class size, 6-8 kids, each one gets plenty of attention. They also had a graduation for the kids who graduated from pre-school. Also, it actually costs less then Montessori. As a parent, you should check this school out and compare it with Montessori before you send your kids to pre-K or K.

When she first started she was hardly speaking, in 6 months her vocabulary and self esteem grew so much that she started speaking with everyone easily. I love seeing my kid learn and thrive here!

Renascence is an excellent school both academically and for language immersion. My son attended…read moreRenascence International from preschool to 6th grade (ages 4 through 12). Based on the quality of the instruction, my son excelled academically and is tri-literate in Chinese, Spanish, and English. My son speaks Mandarin at home with his mom and attained the global seal of literacy for Spanish. The only reason my son no longer attends Renascence is that he wanted to experience a school with a larger class size and more students. (He now goes to a school with over 100 classmates just in his grade.) Based on the instruction my son received at Renascence International, my son was one of 25 out of 500 students out of district that tested and were accepted at Oxford Academy in the 7th grade. The quality of the teachers and curriculum are excellent and without this instruction, my son would never have made it into a public school that is rated #1 in California and #19 in the United States. Currently, he is taking advanced math and is the only non-hispanic child taking advanced Spanish in his grade. Thank you Renascence International for giving my son the tools and instruction to succeed.

She began attending kindergarten in 2012 and graduated from high school in 2025, and we could not have chosen a better school. From the administration to every teacher, the team at RSI is outstanding -- supportive, caring, and completely dedicated to each student's success. Academically, the school is exceptional. Students consistently learn up to two grade levels ahead, and through RSI's dual-enrollment program with a local community college, our daughter earned two associate degrees, along with her IGETC certification, which fulfills general education requirements for both the UC and CSU university systems -- all at the same time she graduated from high school. RSI's language program is equally impressive. Our daughter earned perfect scores (5s) on both her AP Spanish and AP Chinese exams and received the Global Seal of Biliteracy at the Working Fluency level in both languages -- a highly prestigious distinction that reflects advanced proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Only a small percentage of bilingual students nationwide reach this level, making it a truly exceptional achievement. Because of the strong foundation RSI provided, our daughter received multiple university acceptances with generous academic scholarships. We love this school so much that even after she graduated, our family continues to volunteer and support RSI because it truly feels like family. Renascence School International has been one of the best decisions we have ever made -- a school that challenges, inspires, and prepares students for success in a global world.
