We are so fortunate to have found Arborland Montessori. We love all the school programs, especially…read morethe dual language program. And the staffs are even more outstanding! My oldest is now in the Primary class with Maestra Michelle and Maestra Aurora, and my second is finishing the toddler class with Ms Karla and her assistants, Ms Melissa, Ms Ally, and Ms Marissa. The most comforting part for me is to know that my kids are in great care with their teachers. I randomly received personal messages from Ms Karla and Maestra Michelle about my kids' day, their accomplishments, or just something silly they did, with a picture! I cannot express how lucky we are to have teachers that genuinely love the kids so much. It has been such joy to see our kids thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and in every way! I remember when they first started school, they were little people that barely knew how to talk. Day after day, month after month, they started to put words together, making sentences, then started to tell stories about their day at school. One day they surprised me with putting away their own toy! Then another surprise, putting on their own shoes! They learned independence, and courtesy, and so much more! We are so happy that our kids are at Arborland, thriving under lots of love and care. Thank you Arborland! Especially to the teachers and staffs!!

Because of Arborland, my child is now a strong public speaker, excels academically, and has formed lasting friendships. She's currently in Junior Honor Society, taking dual-enrollment classes, and still receives guidance from her former Montessori teachers. Choosing Arborland was one of the best decisions our family has ever made.

Orangethorpe Elementary is a fantastic school with caring staff and teachers, wonderful facilities…read moresuch as a "Sherwood Forest" dedicated to outdoor learning and a robotics lab, and great socio-emotional support for my kids. We are part of the unique Orangethorpe Multiage Program on campus, and my kids have thrived! When I found the Orangethorpe Multiage Program I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. The Multiage's individualized curriculum has let my kids work grade levels ahead even since Kindergarten. They come to me after school so excited about a "hard" math problem they solved or that they used a new "juicy" word in their writing. Their learning has never had to slow down. Their curious minds are always fed with hands-on learning and monthly field trips. One of my kids has always wanted to be an engineer and he got to develop all those skills with an amazing roller coaster project. He learned to cooperate with his team, trouble shoot and struggle through failures, and help other kids with their projects too. At the end, we had a field trip to Knott's Berry Farm and we stayed from opening to close because we have so much fun with the other Multiage families. Another kid is a talented artist and loves that art is always in the classroom, but most especially when they get to draw nature from the class garden and on field trips to the Arboretum. The classroom itself is beautiful and inspiring. It is covered with artwork, writing, and giant math problems that kids work on over days. The primary class is huge and filled with a library of books, all of which any child of any grade can read. It is always warm and friendly with smiling kids and parents. The teachers know exactly what my kids need academically and support them emotionally with understanding, patience, and kind words. So grateful to have found the Orangethorpe Multiage Program!

Parents are involved and kids learn at their pace. All the teachers we've experienced are great. The Multiage teachers are especially fantastic.

We walked in to the classroom and immediately knew we wanted our children to attend. I wish I could have attended! We come from out of district just to go to this school, oh and we drive 30 minutes each way. Check it out, it is that special!

Eastside Christian School has been such a blessing for our family. The whole environment is truly…read moreChrist-centered, you feel it as soon as you walk in. The junior high, high school teacher is such a great Christian role model for the students, both in and out of the classroom. The biblical teaching here is so much stronger than what students get at your church youth groups especially if you attend a small church with less resources. Not sure what will happen in the future when the school gets bigger but the principal has 1:1 meetings with every student to help them choose their courses and college/career paths. It's currently the most affordable Christian private school in OC. If you want a great Christian education that is actually affordable, definitely look into Eastside.

They also have a whole special education department on campus with several highly trained teachers and support staff with 20 plus years serving kids with special needs. The school has recently been gated due to many homeless people that used to be in the surrounding areas. The gate is "okay" there are always several missing bars in some areas of the school where hoodlums have broken through. Mostly to get access to the basket ball court during the weekends. The office staff is cordial and some what efficient. They have a health clerk on site, under the supervision of a credentialed nurse. They also employ several other support staff, such as play ground supervisors and morning parent volunteers that greet your child in the morning as they enter the main gates. The principal is friendly. She is always there when you need to speak to her, she has a great open door policy and will return any phone calls the same day. The teachers are all nice. They have recently hired some newbies which are very talented in teaching, bringing a fresh face to education. The PTA has also improved recently, bringing more family activities to the school such as the Father daughter dance, the Mother son dance, and various other special events that bring the community together. Overall I am content with Woodcrest and the quality of public education they render.
