    We recently joined the school and can't say enough about how fantastic they handle both the…read moreeducational philosophy as well as leadership development for kids starting at kindergarten! The teachers are incredibly accommodating to individual child's needs and developmental strengths and weaknesses. And the curriculum focuses on skill building around confidence, leadership, and integrity.

    I would give zero stars…read more As a parent, I am deeply disappointed in how this school has mishandled my son's IEP, we've been with LBCS since kindergarten and now in 8th grade. Despite his documented needs, the school has consistently failed to provide the legally required supports and services. Instead of fostering a safe and encouraging learning environment, the administration has been dismissive, unresponsive, and even retaliatory when I've tried to advocate for him. My family has been part of this school community since kindergarten. In the early years, things were better, but after COVID the quality of support noticeably declined. Since Mrs. Newton came on board as principal (I'm sorry a director is her title), it has only gotten worse. Her leadership has not improved the school environment, in fact, it has created even more hostility, anxiety, and lack of accountability for students with special needs. The most damaging moment came when the principal told my child directly that "LBCS is not a good fit for you." No student should ever be made to feel unwanted or out of place by the very leader of their school. This comment crushed my son's motivation and made him feel like there was no point in trying, because, after all, if he doesn't try, they will still push him on to the next grade without giving him the support he truly needs. The principal, Mrs. Newton, in particular has contributed to a hostile environment. While she may have years of administrative experience, her actions in our case have shown a lack of compassion and leadership. She has been dismissive of my concerns, retaliatory in her behavior toward me and my son, and resistant to collaboration. Rather than guiding staff to support students with disabilities, she has created an atmosphere of intimidation that has only increased my son's anxiety and harmed his ability to learn. Due to this conduct, a formal complaint has been filed on Mrs. Newton for her behavior. These failures are not only damaging to my child's education and emotional well-being, but they are also violations of special education law, including: * IDEA (20 U.S.C. § 1414(d)) - requiring schools to implement IEPs with fidelity. * California Education Code § 56000 et seq. - ensuring students with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE). * 34 C.F.R. § 300.323(c)(2) - requiring schools to provide services in accordance with each child's IEP. * 34 C.F.R. § 300.324(b)(1)(ii) - requiring IEP teams to revise a plan if a child is not making expected progress. My son has experienced unnecessary anxiety, regression in his learning, and inconsistent communication from staff. Even the basic expectations for IEP compliance have been ignored, leaving both him and me feeling unsupported and unheard. What should have been a collaborative process has turned into a hostile environment where parent input is minimized instead of respected. I also know I am not the only parent who feels this way about the principal. Other families have expressed similar concerns, but many stay quiet out of fear of retaliation. I encourage parents to stand up and speak on behalf of their children, our kids deserve better than this. Parents of children with IEPs deserve transparency, accountability, and compassion from their schools. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience here. I strongly caution families to be aware of these issues when considering this school. For as long as Mrs. Newton is the "director" of LBCS stay away. She is nothing but cancer and the district attorney will not support you unless you have an attorney. There are plenty of other schools with much better IEP services than LBCS.

    When looking for a school for our child, we had a list of necessities which included a safe and…read moresecured environment, loving staff and a great curriculum. Having toured several other schools, we were unable to find the right fit until we found CIS. Not only do they check off all of our boxes but they offer so much more than we could have ever asked for. In addition to providing a safe and secure environment, every staff member truly loves what they do and cares about each and every student. It is a home away from home and I know that each day that I leave my child in their hands, that she is more than well taken care of. They are extremely communicative and share classroom updates, school news and photos of my child each and every day. We love that it is project-based and a STEAM school as she has already learned so much! Additionally she is learning how to speak and write in Spanish and Mandarin! We absolutely LOVE her sweet teachers Mrs. Trujillo and Mrs. Alltop and couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful school and all the incredible people that work here!

    The school is super clean and modern. They have cameras everywhere and the entry to the school is…read morelocked and each family is given their own keycard to allow them entry. There is a lot of modern technology, they even have robots. The staff is absolutely amazing! Everyone makes you feel at home. There is one class per grade which adds to the home like feeling since the school is small and more intimate. 1:8 ratio, each class has a total of 16 students and a teacher and educational assistant. So each child gets the attention they need. They also provide individual educational plans. The students learn BOTH Mandarin and Spanish. And they also offer global studies. It's project based learning so not a lot of homework and busy worksheet type work. I'm blown away with everything CIS has to offer my child! This school is everything I thought it would be! My child is thriving so much! And it feels like a real family here. I love how small and intimate it is. And I'm really looking forward to my child growing up with her classmates over the years. I highly recommend CIS to anyone that is looking for a unique school experience for their children. It's also a VERY safe environment. I never have to worry about my child which gives me so much peace of mind!
