Any concerns or questions which we ever addressed to them were always resolved. No matter what question we had, we always saw friendly staff which is open, ready to help, and resolve any situation in the best way. Academics are great, which is big deal for us. After OOS, kids attend highly selective high schools, and doing great at rigorous classes; which is again a great compliment to OOS teachers for good preparation. OOS does a great job at helping their 8th grade students with the high school admission process. The school community is wonderful, great families, many of which became our close friends. The classes are small, allowing each student to grow. There are always lots of opportunities for parents to be actively involved in school life, but it is not mandatory if your busy life does not allow you to do it. Highly recommended this school!

The OOS community is incredibly warm and welcoming, and the teachers are dedicated to helping every student succeed. OOS deeply values students' social-emotional wellness and provides a space for students to explore their interests and grow beyond the classroom.

I My experience here was truly unforgettable and I highly recommend Old Orchard School.

This is long-overdue review…read more I would like to express my gratitude to Sage Academy for the significant transformation that they have brought about in my daughter's personality. I was honestly nervous about how she'd adjust to a new school, but she came home excited after the very first day! That excitement has only grown, and it's boosted her confidence so much. She's now in love with reading. Something I could never get her interested in before. I also really love how the school encourages kids from different grades to interact. It's been such a positive experience for her. The school's teaching style and my daughter's dedicated homeroom teacher, Jerry, have truly made this transformation possible. They've created such a supportive environment that fosters real growth and confidence. Teaching isn't easy. It takes extraordinary patience, high energy, and emotional strength to show up every day and help students who arrive with challenges and difficult experiences from previous schools. Every teacher here genuinely cares about their students from the bottom of their hearts, this is a truly rare quality. They truly deserve all the respect in the world. I strongly recommend Sage Academy to any family who is looking for an alternative to the traditional education system. In my opinion, Sage Academy is a hidden gem that offers a unique approach to education that is tailored to each student's needs. I am confident that other families can also benefit from this wonderful educational institution.

You've probably heard the phrase, "It takes a village." Well, it's true! I feel genuinely supported and safe here, and it's more than just a school -- it's become a second family. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics with a nurturing and connected environment, I wholeheartedly recommend St. Lucy School. It's been a blessing for our family!

We've been particularly happy with the emphasis on deeper conceptual understanding of material, so it's not just rote memorization and regurgitation. Word problems were a significant part of Kindergarten math, and I'm positive I wasn't doing word problems that early when I was a kid. The teachers and administration are very receptive to feedback and concerns that inevitably crop up during the school year. We've been happy with the way they've handled issues, and clearly customer service is an important part of their philosophy. Tuition is on the higher range of private schools, but in this case you truly do get what you pay for.

By the end of their first year, they ere able to easily read short books in Chinese, and write short messages (like thank you cards) all in Chinese. We don't speak mandarin fluently at home but we're still able to somewhat help with homework. Their math program is also very advanced, and now that my kids are set to go to public school, I'm confident Springbridge is at least a year ahead in their math program. The teachers in both K and 1st grade (and 2nd grade, where my oldest attended) are all very caring, attentive, and communicate well with the parents, which was appreciated. They worked with us to figure out ways our kids could grasp concepts they had trouble learning. Their detailed reports for parent teacher conference showed they were deeply involved and interested in my children's education. In addition, the community and camaraderie of the parents and teachers is another factor in why we loved the school.

Springbridge International School is a place where my two children are receiving a high-quality,…read morebilingual education. They have been at Springbridge since 2016 and both love the school. The school curriculum in is offered in English, Japanese, and Mandarin, and is delivered in such a way where students learn meaningful lessons, in two languages, that stress academic, cultural, and personal development. The faculty are passionate educators who embrace the mission of developing young minds in ways that are interesting and challenging to the students. After some issues with the facilities in the early days (such as locations, size, access to good sunlight), the facilities we have now are now top notch - secure, with good light, plenty of room, and large playground areas for the kids to get out and RUN and play!!! The administration has done a very good job through the COVID pandemic. They were able to rapidly transition to remote learning and despite some minor hiccups (which we all experienced at first) the learning continued - with the added benefit of my wife and I having the opportunity to see and hear what and how our girls were learning. It was at this point we truly understood and appreciated that our hard-earned dollars were being spent wisely and to great affect. Last year when the school reopened for in-person learning, the protocols set in place were adequately strict and strictly enforced. Classes were held outdoors and the kids were maintained in cohorts to minimize the risks of any widespread exposures. The use of masks was mandatory without exception even when on spacious playgrounds. The rules were/are clear and uniform for all grades. With the recent surge in Omicron, we are voluntarily back to distance learning until the surge passes. As parents we are responsible for providing our kids with every opportunity we are able to provide. My wife and I are not rich. We're working class people from working class families. Financially we'd be far better off if our kids went to public schools and in our area of San Jose there are some well-rated schools. While we toil away and struggle at times, we know we are doing what is best for our kid's future. They are both bilingual, in touch with their Japanese and American cultures, and are receiving advanced level education from this fine private school. Added Note: When I use Yelp I usually look at the most recent reviews...but always find myself drifting toward reading the negative reviews too. I did that for Springbridge as well. There are a couple of negative reviews and I think I know one of them. Everyone has a different experience and that's fine. Not every student and not every family will have the same opinion, nor will they have the same experience if there is a misalignment in key areas like respecting the rules, embracing the mission, or you or your child having a disagreeable outlook or personality. This school is a community and your child and my children are not special, they're members of a tight knit community where learning is the priority, delivered by trained and caring people, in clean and secure facilities.

I cannot say enough good things about CCS and all who work there. Our daughter, Kate, attended…read morefulltime daycare from the time she was 8 months old until recently we moved out of state. Bottom line: the teachers and administrators love the kids as if they were their own. As a first time mom, nothing is harder than dropping off your baby to return to work but CCS assured me I could call and check on her to help alleviate my anxiousness. Kate quickly settled into the routine and thrived in the environment. Infant care is very customized the specific needs of each child (feeding/diapering/sleep) and in the toddler room a bit more structure develops (though still very flexible). The teachers communicate via daily reports home, a private app, and phone calls/emails as needed. Throughout the covid shutdown, we have been so impressed with how the school navigated the ever-changing landscape. They sent frequent and thorough emails explaining how they were approaching the guidelines from the county/state/federal governments and outlined their decision making process, contingency plans, health and safety protocol, and timelines. When they were able to reopen daycare, we gladly sent our daughter back and were very impressed with the diligent steps they took to ensure a safe experience for all. Truly one of the worst parts about moving was having to leave CCS, we are so blessed to have had them care for our daughter and would unequivocally recommend them as the best possible daycare in the area.
