The staff and teachers have helped provide the structure that my daughter really needed to improve. In addition to tutoring, they also offer college application workshops from time to time.

The management team is good and is very easy to work with. Highly recommended!

My daughter has successfully completed 5th grade after having spent many hours working at…read moreHuntington. My husband and I knew she struggled with reading, but were in denial as to how bad it actually was until we saw how poorly she'd done on her initial assessment. It took time, but by the end of the school year we were amazed at her transformation, and not just in reading. Her confidence seemed to spill over into other areas, and she (unknowingly) was applying her new-found skills to other subjects like math and writing. The director was in touch with my daughter's teacher and met with us regularly to keep us apprised of progress. I was surprised that my daughter never seemed to mind going, seeing as she was attending 4 sessions a week. I was worried she'd be overwhelmed, but she never complained. She is now ready to start 6th grade in a couple weeks and I am confident in her ability to make the transition.

I enrolled my son in this center since a friend of mine recommended this. Now, my son is a Johns…read moreHopkins Honors student in Math and he is academically very advanced. I only wantedd this place to prepare him for test-taking. Instead these people have a way of saying your child is deficient in some areas and enrolling you and fleecing you. 1. When you go to enroll, the owner talks to to you for an hour (with lots of disruptions so really she spends less time with you but the elapsed time is long) to grind you down to sign a contract. Even though I told her several times I want to sign up for month-to-month but she talked about the discounts and how you can get more than 1 workbook in a week to speed up. I am sorry to say, I fell for her pressure salesman tactics and gave her a check for six hundred sixty for the 6 months. I don't remember signing any contract. I filled an application form and was not given a copy. BTW they won't give me more than 1 book a week so in no way have I got the benefit of 6 month contract. Other than 10 dollars a month discount. Now she won't let me cancel (although month-to-month folks have the ability to cancel). I even offered her to charge me the month to month rate. 2. The first week we go for the 'class' and she forces me to schedule an appointment for my son for 2 hrs every week. I thought this is included in the 660 I paid. Then she says it will be 350 per month. I said, no I am not interested. And she says it is not much only 70 per hours. Rubbish. As if 70/hr is not much. 3. I have no idea what the heck goes on in the class. I asked the lady at the reception to explain what happens during the 40 minutes class and she tells me - you drop your son, leave and come back!!! Thank you very much. I am asking what goes on when I leave him there. What is taught. What is done, etc. You see, they claim it is a class and I still have no idea how it is conducted. I asked to speak to the teacher and receptionist tells me she is busy. 4. On top of this I paid 30 to get my younger son tested for 30 bucks and she said she did it for free!! I told her I paid. I even have the check counterfoil. Bunch of lies. 5. When I say I want to cancel because I am busy, son is busy, son is stressed and gets headaches, owner tells me we need to see why he is getting headaches! I told her I will discuss that with my pediatrician. Just give me the money back and let me cancel. She keeps saying it is a contract. I did not sign a contract. 6. My understanding is this place maybe suited for people whose kids need help because they are lagging. This is definitely not a place to put an already advanced kid. Very disappointing. Stay away if you can. I want to run away from this place and cut my damages.

As a BASIS parent for years, I'm glad I've finally stopped sending my child to this school. Here…read moreare some reasons why. 1. Environment - The school itself is built like a prison with no outdoor space whatsoever. My kid also reported a lot of bullying that occurs on a daily basis. Overall, the building is bad, and the environment inside isn't much better either. 2. Faculty - The school faculty could care less about you or your student. As long as they get their money, they don't care. The whole system is entirely money based and extremely greedy. 3. Stress - According to my child, BASIS makes it seem like good scores are the only way you'll be successful in life. And if you can't achieve that you'll be shamed for it. These are my 3 main reasons why I highly recommend you to not go to this school, among many others.

My 3 old toddler had a very unpleasant first time daycare experience while she was at Learning…read moreSprings for 7 days. She was hit by a child while having 3 adults in the same classroom "supervising" her. There was no exact explanation as to why they didn't witness the incident. My child had an "accident" and I always provided an extra pair of clothes as expected, but my child was left with her dirty clothes throughout the day. The hours state they are available for business at 7am and for me this was expressed how important it was to be their on time. The staff would walk in right at 7am and by the time I walked out from checking her in and everything else that needed to be done, i was 10 minutes behind schedule. I expressed thus to the director and we couldn't continue allowing more incidents occur and decided to not continue having our child be here. We requested our 2 weeks of daycares money that we had paid in advance to be refunded and they refused and said their policy stated we needed to give a months notice stating we were removing our child. We were furious to hear how the wanted us to leave our child there to have more incidents occur. A refund wAs not given back to us and were un-sympathetic. Bad experience from day one.

I normally don't write reviews, but I feel a responsibility to speak up. One of the teachers--and…read morepart owner--of Shareworld, Sunni Lin clearly has mental issues: an incident happen where he physically lifted my 9 year old son by his broken arm, push a desk at him and screamed on top of his lungs at my son for not following directions. One of the parent text me afterwards saying the class was hysterical and there were kids crying. This is completely unacceptable and deeply disturbing behavior from someone entrusted with the care of children. Sunni clearly has anger issues and cannot regulate his temper. Multiple students have witnessed him yelling, banging on desks, and even throwing phones at the wall during class. His behavior is not only unprofessional , it it's frightening. He is unfit to be in any teaching or leadership role around children. I filed a police report to document the incident. The detective strongly urged me to press charges, warning that this individual is a danger to other children. As a parent, I knew he was right--but despite that, I made the difficult decision not to pursue charges out of consideration for his three young children, who attend the same school as mine (John Muir Elementary). It was not an easy choice, but I wanted to give him a chance to take responsibility without destroying his family. Since then, my children and all students others have withdrawn from the program. Please be cautious if you're considering Shareworld. No child should ever have to experience something like this

We are blown away by our shadow day/application experience at this school…read more First of all, let me say that gaining entry into private schools on the peninsula in the Bay Area is not for the faint of heart. The process with all of these schools has been completely grueling overall, so I have nothing but love and deep appreciation for the schools who met us with kindness and handled our family situation with care. This school is a phenomenal choice. After struggling initially with a couple of private schools, we steeled ourselves and made it our mission to engage wholeheartedly in the process. We applied to five top notch schools and our daughter got into all five of them! It can be done. Alongside one other school, Waldorf was tied as top choice. The teacher moves through all grades with the class until 8th, and wow--Mrs Sykes is a quintessential teacher!! The arts program is so powerful and strong, and kids emerge deeply talented and capable. Childhood is kept intact, and academics are rigorous. This school produces well-rounded humans, no doubt. It was painful to decline the offer, but we ultimately decided that another school fit our family's current journey slightly better. Marginally. Finally, I want to acknowledge Jaime in the admissions office. She was so responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and passionate! I wish I knew the name of the other two women we interacted with--one beautiful human behind the desk in the front office, and another who sat through our parent interview. Again, simply lovely humans. I am including he body of the email we received in response to declining. This is such a classy, humble, kindhearted, and generous way to respond. I'm sad to say that we now know firsthand that this is not the way that all private schools in this area treat people--not even close. We are so grateful! Please check out Waldorf!

He genuinely loves going to school every day, which says so much. The teachers truly care about the students in front of them--not just academically, but as whole human beings. They are attentive to each child's development and also thoughtful about the class dynamic as a whole, creating a supportive and nurturing environment. The curriculum is incredibly rich and diverse. From math and English to music, gardening, handwork, world languages, arts, and games, the education is well-rounded and engaging. It fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a real love of learning. We feel very grateful to be part of such a warm and inspiring community and highly recommend WSP to families looking for an education that nurtures both the mind and the heart.
