At graduation we witnessed her crying as she got her diploma and thanked all teachers. She has cried twice more and keeps saying "I will miss Lomsaa!" Academically, emotionally and spiritually has been a game changer. She was given so many tools for her next chapter in life. Thanks Lomsaa for being a gem!!

Nationally recognized schools, administrators and teachers alike all working at the highest level possible on behalf of our children. Please do not for a second take it for granted. After my son's culmination a week ago the last of my kids who have been fortunate enough to attend, enjoy, be educated, challenged and matriculate through Lindero Canyon Middle School. I have a sense of passion, pride, appreciation and heartfelt thanks but also such respect and a deep affinity for all of my kids teachers, counselors, administrators and support staff that work there magic day in and day out on behalf of our kids. It was an emotional day watching my son grow up and move on but also such a sadness to say goodbye to an amazing collection of people who worked tirelessly for my kids. I am humbled by what they do and the level of results they achieve in the process. They are the true rockstars and we are blessed to have them in our community. I grew up in Inglewood and wasn't afforded these resources, education or enrichment opportunities yet I was fortunate enough to end up attending UCLA and ultimately moving out to Agoura Hills so that my kids could be part of the famed Las Virgenes Unified School system. On behalf of my kids and I. Thank you for all of your hard work, passion and dedication to our children. We are blessed to have you and appreciate you and all of your efforts more than you could ever imagine. The results that you have achieved with our children's growth, academics and test scores are truly awe inspiring and humbling. Please know that it did not go unnoticed and your are forever in our thoughts. Thank You...

It was fun since one of the speakers mentioned that his kid told him to don't be boring. For a few moments, he had the crowd laughing. Then he continued with his speech. I really appreciate he made it fun and pleasant. The 4-star is because parking was a real challenge since their parking lot is limited. Street parking only available. For this event, we had to park almost 3/4 of a mile from the school since it was really full. Overall, it seemed like the students were and teachers got along well.

My favorite part of the campus is the beautiful garden--it makes the school feel so welcoming and gives the kids such a unique place to learn.

The Principal Mrs Morrow is outstanding, she really has a love for the Lord and a love for every kid there. The teachers from Preschool to 2nd (so far) have been absolutely lovely. They truly take interest in teaching the kids academically, but also responsibility, respect and faith which are all as important if not more so I believe. If you are curious, I would honestly suggest scheduling a visit. We toured several schools before deciding to go here, and I have to say that there was definitely something special about this place. My kids and myself have made some very sweet friendships and can honestly say are very blessed to be here.

Bethany Christian School is a unique and wonderful community. My daughter attends preschool there,…read moreand is thrilled to be there every day, and comes home talking excitedly about all she learned. The staff and teachers approach their job with a level of professionalism and organization that I didn't see at the other preschools I toured. It's very "buttoned-up", well-kept, and bright, and that all sets a tone that education is important. It's also a FUN place to learn. You couldn't ask for a better playground, and tables outside are set up with Brio blocks and various hands-on toys. The best part about Bethany is how the students are taught about God. The teachers there all care very much about communicating to students, in age-appropriate stories and concepts, about how much God loves them. My daughter's class, for instance, focuses on a different fruit of the spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, etc.) each month. I like that this genuine desire for kids to know Jesus, seems to infuse every aspect of the day, rather than it feeling cheesy or obligatory. We live nearby, but I noticed in the student directory, there are families as far away as Oxnard and Malibu who drive out to Thousand Oaks to send their children to Bethany, and I can see why. What a warm, inviting, special place to get to be a student!

Come on lady or taff have patience with kids , even adults dont follow rules sometimes, what I sense is discrimination, the kid is from Hispanic parents, is so disgusting how teachers expect to have a 4 years old kid to follow all the rules , you guys had good training to be able to work in the school and have patience , give a chance to the kid and be the adult to guide that kid, that a kid get up while in class shouldn't be a reason to not be accepted animore , while other kids are throwing tantrums and throwing stuff to other kids , throwing themselves on floor , yelling. but because there're privileged still in school . Disgusting situation , shame if in this cool discriminate kids. Shame!! I wouldn't recommend this school.

Storytime on why you should not go there on my experience we're only going there for two years…read morefourth and fifth grade. in fifth grade, it was lining up for lunch and me, and two of my friends went to the bathroom and I got suffocated by both of them. One of them covered my mouth and one of them covered my nose and throat. One time when we were doing math I asked my teacher to go to go use the restroom, but she told me that I could've went at recess and said no, this also happened to me during computers when I needed to use the restroom but the teacher always kept asking if it was emergency if I didn't ask then why wouldn't it be an emergency? Another part about the friends is how they were really fake and you would think they were nice, but they weren't. They always tried to get me to the principals and one time I brought my squishy to school and one of them drew on it and said that it wasn't them, you would think they are really nice because they because they were nice to adults, but they were rude to kids, especially when we played soccer. I almost got fractured knee because one of them kept kicking my shins and throwing me to the ground, the staff workers were not the best. They kept telling her to stop when she wouldn't stop. I tried to get away from her, but she kept chasing me and pulled my hair every time. One more thing about the teachers is that how they always have favorites, but they left them in the dust after a couple days or especially weeks. I was my teacher's favorite on grandparents day because my grandparent did not come, but after that, she always gave me bad grade grades. If you ever decide to go to a Christian school and Simi Valley, I would not pick Grace as my number one favorite. I hope you understand why not to go here.

I cannot recommend TLS enough!!! We have our oldest in 1st grade, 2nd born in kindergarten, and…read moreyoungest in their preschool. I spent a year in panic wondering where they would go to school or if I should homeschool. Between heavy tech use (I work in corp tech so I am very anti-heavy tech use for teaching and school work), so many bullying stories, nepo culture for other private schools, overcrowded classrooms, etc I was just at a loss. But then I accidentally stumbled upon TLS. We attended the kinder info night two years ago and the rest is history. My kids literally are beyond excited to go to school every day and ask if they can stay at SAC (their after school care that is already part of the tuition)! They just never want to leave. The school is hard on community vibes which is honestly incredible because everyone is happy and supportive. Classroom sizes are small which is absolutely amazing. My kids are learning so much, so quickly, and without just being trapped at a desk all day. It's honestly a dream come true for us. Our oldest is more sensitive in nature and was one I was so worried about with peer pressure, stress to "be good enough", feeling less than, etc. she is THRIVING. She has insane confidence, a huge heart, and has really learned to thrive with her more sensitive side thanks to this school, the staff, and how the classroom is run by these incredible teachers. My other two are little hot heads with our kindergartener loving to correct people and keep everyone in line :-) she is doing incredibly well too and quite literally is obsessed with her school, her class, and everything she is learning. When she gets home she has so many questions about things she's learning to do and genuinely wants to keep practicing. So this school brings passion into kids learning. I hope this review finds the parent who is stressing about the environment their kid will be growing in or even the parent who is contemplating homeschool. This is your answer. This school truly feels like an extension of our family - where they aren't just learning but are being truly cared for, guided, nurtured, and supported. It's an indescribable relief, for a parent, to know and truly love the school you are a part of.

Love that my student is learning about Jesus and God as part of the school day. Also love that ASL and STEAM are regular classes built into the weekly schedule. Kids have PE 3 times a week, as well as a lot of space to run around on the beautiful grounds outside. I love that the older kids still get to play on the play equipment and swings (younger grades and older grades rotate so they're with age appropriate peers). There's also ample shade for when it's hot. The school has a great volunteer-led parent teacher organization with many fun activities, lots of opportunities to volunteer and stay connected. It is also a patriotic school - the church/school hold a ceremony to honor veterans each year! There are also several on-site enrichment activities throughout the year (Olympic athletes, fire and police department visits, farm / aquarium activities) and a nice Christmas musical program each year. Overall, an excellent, well-rounded school!
