I never thought that I would send my kids to a private school because of the stigma of them. My children have excelled academically and spiritually. They have built long lasting friendships . Mc may not be for everyone but it sure has been good for us. I was once told by someone why do you want your kids to be sheltered , I said I'm not sheltering them but I'm simply protecting them . Look out into our world and see how much are children are up against . Come and give MC a try .

My 4 children have been at GVA Modesto since 2019. We have been incredibly happy attending here. I…read morelove that GVA represents subject mastery before moving students on to the next part of the curriculum. GVA has an incredible emphasis on character building and kindness. This creates a favorable school community and growing children that will be positive influences in society. A few of my children have needed extra resources with reading and speech and those supports were given ASAP. I also have 1 student that has needed a 504 plan and over time it has been suggested to move him into an IEP. I love that GVA has a private school feel and size, yet is public and receives the state funding for providing these supports to families and students. The school offers many after school clubs and enrichment programs during the school day. I am extremely grateful that my children are learning Spanish at a young age. The school offers before and after school program, as well as summer school when needed and summer care for working parents. We look forward to our children being at GVA another 7 years. Our family is extremely happy with our experience at GVA Modesto.

I recognize this will probably be brushed aside as another concerned parent, over reaching to be…read moreheard. But I feel my recent experience isn't an isolated case. In Modesto, educational options are limited. You often have to choose between overcrowded public classrooms or high-tuition private schools. On the surface, GVA (Great Valley Academy) seems like the perfect middle ground: a non-tuition public school with smaller classes and a focus on 'the whole child.' I attended the orientations and understood their pillars, but I was never informed that my child would be graded on her character on a numerical scale. There is a massive disconnect between encouraging 'character development' and issuing a formal report card that scrutinizes who a child is as a person. It is heartbreaking to receive a document that feels more like a subjective pronouncement on my child's personality than an academic evaluation. While I am thankful my child is too young to understand this level of scrutiny, the precedent it sets is alarming. Furthermore, the front administration's response to parental concerns is disappointing. If you disagree with a policy or wish to opt your child out of an assessment you feel is detrimental, the standard response is effectively, 'You can go to a different school.' While technically true, this 'take it or leave it' attitude is a failure of leadership. It treats parents as obstacles rather than partners. In the real world, performance is measured by output, reliability, and conduct. It is never measured by a superior's personal interpretation of your 'spirit'--especially when that superior isn't held to the same standard. Parents deserve a choice in how their children are evaluated without being told to simply leave if they ask for professional transparency.

What a super nice school!…read more I participated in an hour-long "outreach" event this month; October 2021 at Enochs Highschool in Turlock, California. I have to this date, never encountered so many genuinely friendly and helpful young people. NAMI Stanislaus, The National Alliance on Mental Illness is the non-profit, grassroots organization I was volunteering for to get the word out about NAMI On-Campus, a NAMI supported program, student organizational group here at Enochs Highschool. This student-ran with adult supervision group provides outreach for the young students in supporting mental health, speaking about it, and stamping out the stigma which can accompany it for the young. The students got along and many were dressed up in 70's Disco Era clothing which looked great and authentic as at their lunch break, they mingled, visited our table full of informational stuff and complimentary items. All the teachers and school personnel I encountered were professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The campus and the landscaping were very well maintained and welcoming. This is a very well maintained & super clean school.

Love aspire schools. The only problem I have with this location is the office staff. Even my…read morehusband complained about them. Last year we both went at different times to pick our son up and we were both told that we cant come an hour before school ends it's to early! Makes no sense we were late to our appointments because of this. Even the staff and vanguard were shocked when I told them. This year they changed it i guess and claimed it was never like that well I'm not sure but it happened to us both on separate occasions. Also they called me to pick up my child but my child wasn't even in the office when i got there still had to wait for them to walk up to the front. And they make parents wait outside I understand it's for Stafety but if it's raining or cold who wants to stand in the rain there's nothing to stand under. Really my problem is with the office staff especially the one who I'm assuming is the receptionist she's so rude the one with the long black hair. I'm really considering not returning my student next year I don't want to deal with rude staff.

Okay first of all, this school calls home for the dumbest things. I am sick and tired of my child…read moregetting in trouble for the most STUPIDEST things ever. Second of all, the PE teacher, Ms. Kanaly or whatever her name is I do not care at all. Do I have a fat bone to pick with her. She recently called home to get my child in trouble saying that he was not dressed out for PE. When in reality, his butt crack was just showing slightly. And he is pretty chunky but that shouldn't be a reason to call home. Yesterday, they called AGAIN. This reason was because my child finished state testing early. Can you believe they got him in trouble because he finished early. My daughter works as a substitute paraprofessional, she came home to me after working at the school for the first time telling me how the school gets kids in trouble for silly reasons. If they keep calling home, I will call MCS and put a huge complaint. I am sick and tired of my kid getting in trouble there. Also, the so called PE teacher has parents phone numbers on hand to call whenever she wants because she thinks she has the upper hand. DO NOT and I can not stress this enough DO NOT tell me to deal with my child with his behind. If I hear that again, coming from a school staff employee I will not hesitate to call the superintendent.
