The School is incredible but the front desk receptionists have been rude on multiple occasions…read more Parents should not be shamed for their children being late on occasion, nor should we accept the receptionists/ gatekeepers subjective definition of our rationale for tardiness. My son was more than 30 minutes late due to multiple reasons and she would not excuse it. This was his first tardy! She said it would be marked as an inexcusable absence. Wow! Zero kindness or empathy for daily living. This was his first tardy of the year! She was so rude. What she doesn't know, is that my son has chronic allergies and is embarrassed about it, so I didn't mention that. Just rude.

No I was not a skater but I did have a skate shop. The kid walked by and asked me what time it was I told him and I said hey what do you know about the spot. He said it's a skate spot. I said yeah I can see that. Do you like it ? It's gets pretty packed he told me yeah it's cool . In the morning old people come to skate . I said old people how old ? He looked at me up and down and said old like you. Damn!!!!! I wouldn't have it any other way. Little renegade skater. He told me the business ! Ha !

I have been part of the Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac School community since August 2005. 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.

If you want a small school who really pays attention and cares about your children this is it…read more Amazing school. We left orchard hills elementary, constant bullying, 1st-3rd teacher doesn't inform the parents of anything that happens , and vice principal doesn't do anything about the same bully for two years . Fed up we ended up going back to St.Cecilia. We left because I couldn't afford to put all 3 kids in private, since public schools are great in Irvine ( not orchard hills elementary apparently) Smaller class size, not always letting your kids sit on the iPad like the public schools with 30 plus kids- (because that's just easier for them ). You know that staff is here at the school for the right reasons. Curriculum is standard, but I'm here to make sure my kids aren't bullied and grow up to be a good person. I am not Catholic, but having religion and the basic virtues of living life the right way is most important.

We've been at Fairmont North Tustin campus for 3 years. I thought it had a health office and health…read morestaff (I'm not even asking for an RN, just a health staff member), just like other schools. All Irvine public schools have health rooms and health staff on campus. Stupid me -- I assumed that at the very least this so-called private school would have such a fundamental facility and staff. But no. Today I found out there's no health office and no sick room where a child can at least lie down for a while until a parent arrives. I'm in shock. What kind of risky, scammy school have I put my child into for the past 3 years? This campus just spent a lot of money on expansion and also raised tuition fees. It's ridiculous to find out that behind all those price increases and fancy upgrades, no one seems to care about students' health -- and none of that money appears to have gone toward improving health support for the kids. No health office. Not even one health staff member. Not even a sick room for students to rest. -- In response to your reply: Thank you for reminding me -- although your non-medical staff determined (since there is no health clerk or school nurse on campus) that "it's better to remain in an upright position in a chair, while ensuring attentive care and comfort," when I arrived, my pale six-year-old child was kneeling on the ground, coloring on a piece of paper and using a wooden bench next to the reception desk as a flat surface. There is no health clerk. The temporary reception teacher was busy with her own duties. I did not see any "assured attentive care and comfort." Instead, I observed teachers who appeared reluctant to be involved, likely because without a designated health staff member, temporarily caring for a sick child simply adds to their already full workload. Where is the "bed" or the "attentive care and comfort" you mentioned? All I saw was a small, cold wooden bench near the reception area, with people walking around. Considering the level of tuition families pay, our children deserve more than this. Three different staff members confirmed to me yesterday that there is no bed available for a sick student. Therefore, the only way I was able to learn that such an option supposedly exists was through a Yelp review. Reality is reality. Parents, please do your research before sending your child to a so-called private school: * Is there a health room or a designated sick resting area -- like those available in Orange County public schools? * Is there a school health clerk available on campus -- as in Orange County public schools? * Do teachers even know whether the so-called "bed for sick students" actually exists? Despite the amount of money families invest in a private school that lacks even fundamental health support, it is worth considering whether the absence of a basic health office or a health clerk could place students at greater risk in certain situations.
