The teachers and staff are kind, and the new principal, Mr. Redemer, has been very approachable and easy to talk to. Anytime we've had a concern, it's been taken seriously and addressed.

For Redwood Christian Middle/High School (San Lorenzo)…read more It is selfish of the school to cause so much traffic by only having one entrance in a highly residential area where it causes Buses to be significantly delayed. It is selfish of Redwood Christian to cause major traffic along a major Bus Route that is used by other students at nearby schools. In comparison to other schools, this car system is the worst of the worst. Although a response may be that allowing students to be dropped off at the back entrance near Via Vista/Neilsen will cause disturbance to the residents in that area, at least that door is not part of a major Bus route (93, which is used by many students: Arroyo High School, KIPP Schools, Bay Elementary, Bohannon Middle School, and even more schools further down). Because cars won't move at all on the one-lane street unless they get into your school, it causes the Bus to be stuck there for 5-10 minutes for such a short distance. The negative impact of such delay is a late bus of regularly 10+ minutes, up to 20 minute delay. It is not simply "take an earlier bus" if the school can decrease traffic.

The school itself backs up to a wonderful park and has been recently earthquake retrofitted. They also installed gates to keep the bad guys out and the students in. At first, I really didn't like the gates because it did make the school look a little like an institution, but I get the reason why they did it. The teachers are WONDERFUL and all are invested in the students education. No wonder people move to Castro Valley! There are young energetic teachers and also older ones that are just as fabulous! The principle, Mrs. Hoops, is also very involved and opens her door to parents and students alike with sensitivity and sensibility! This is a GREAT school all-in-all!

Not only do they emphasize academic progress, they also balance the curriculum out with fun, play, music, foreign language (Spanish) and teach to make sure the students become well rounded citizens of the Earth. The student body is already very well diversified! The school is very well organized under the school principal Ms. Kaya. Staff of whom we have interacted with are extremely nice and responsive to any concerns. Tuition is one of the most reasonable you can find in the whole Bay Area, the value each student get is tremendous! The tuition even includes extended care which in already pays for itself! Especially for busy family with both full time working parents. Public schools usually ends around 2:30, but your tuition includes extended care until 6:00! I think my husband and I are both in awe, every month, on how little we are paying for a "private school" education. In fact the tuition is very similar to our local public schools after school program, and that program was suppose to already run by a registered non profit organization! Our family is extremely grateful that we have found this school. And grateful for all the teachers and staff our children have had so far. Big shout out to Ms. Mary (which my children talk about everyday, even if they have already moved on from her class), Ms Divine, and Ms. Contreras. Special thanks to all the administrative staff: Ms. Maria, Ms. Hernandez, Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Mary-Ann and countless others! I am surprised that not more people know about this hidden gem! Maybe the parents of students going to the school wants it to stay that way! The way we found out about this school was a referral by our friend. I heard that the Union City campus is already at full capacity every grade and is baffled why the CV campus is not yet. But don't take my word for it! Contact the school and take a tour yourself. You don't know what your kids are missing!

Every school has its issues and qualms, but at the end of the day, the school is solid, the curriculum is sound, and the community is loving. You get what you put in; if you're an involved parent who attends meetings, chats at drop off/pick up, and signs up to be on the boards and play in the CYO sports, you'll feel the incredible sense of the OLG community. If you only drop off and read the emails, you'll feel excluded, and the love will be lacking. Writing a negative review about your and your child's experience is very easy, but you must give a complete and truthful review. Pieces are missing, and no one is a victim in the situation. I love OLG and the foundation that it has built for my children. It's disheartening to see negative reviews that bring down a score for a lovely school whose staff and students work very hard to build a community filled with Truth, Unity, and Love. In the end, experience it for yourself. If interested, please attend the open house or welcome day. All are invited to tour the classes, meet the teachers and staff, talk with other parents, and, most importantly, meet some students. Don't let negative reviews impact your decision without experiencing all of OLG's excellent qualities firsthand.
