Principal Bernal is a great principal who keeps the school running and makes sure the kids have a great environment!

They also get toured by PVIS where the kids get to watch the music showcase. Great School!

Some of the teachers here are fantastic namely Curry, Watson,Sorenson,Disalvo,Castillo are just a few. My only complaint and this is not the schools fault is students are not disciplined enough at home so they bring that attitude to school which is not ok. I know that because my son had issues with some of kids bothering him but thankfully this school will not allow this kind of behavior.

In fact, the principal will favor and treat the bully better than the child who is being bullied. The Principal cares more about the bully's rights than about the victim.

As my kids don't go to Pt. Vicente Elementary School, this review is for the outside amenities. The campus is clean and well kept. It is easy to find and has plenty of parking. They have a big blacktop area, handball courts, basketball courts, swings, and a LARGE soccer/field area. Another nice Palos Verdes elementary school.

But I can honeslty appreciate everything when I look back on it now. I had tremendous oppurtunities and I was exposed to things I probably would have never known about. A few of those oppurtunies were backpacking, dancing, diversity conferences, community service, and wonderful college counselors. There's also certain traditions that make Chadwick special such as the Tree Awards, they physically ring a bell in between classes, eating lunch on the lawn, and the graduation. There is also the rigorous academic excellence that is demanded from every student. This can be a challenge if you haven't grown up in an environment where your suppose to study 45mins per class every night. Now that i'm in college i'm glad I have those time management skills. The teachers are definitely amazing too and they have very high expectations of their students also. So all in all I think Chadwick is definitely a school you should consider sending your child too. The Alumni network is very active and give lots of money because most people who graduate are successful.

I cannot say enough of this amazing school! I have a unique perspective as I am a parent here as…read morewell as a teacher of 18 years (at a public school). When I was given a tour four years ago, I knew what questions to ask regarding the curriculum and was impressed by the rigor, the class sizes, and the feel of community. So I decided to make the investment and move my son from a nearby public school to Rolling Hills Country Day School. One of the reasons was my son was diagnosed with moderate ADD and I knew he needed more personal attention and would thrive in a smaller school setting. It was the best decision! I do admit it took him a few months to get acclimated due to the academic rigor because the standards were different at his previous school. However, I loved it so much that a year later, I transferred my daughter there and now my third child attends RHCDS! I wish my kids could personally write a review. They absolutely love their school. They are eager to get to school early to play on the field before class! This school offers them a place where they feel safe and genuinly cared for. They not only have the academic rigor that in today's society is imperative, but they also prioritize in teaching values. Be a kind human is their motto and they definitely instill this on a daily basis. Learning and living by these values is what a child needs to thrive and be happy so they can focus in school. My son is now in middle school (upper school) and I know he will no doubt be prepared for any top rated high school. They focus on giving back to the community, character/values, teach independence, all the while really preparing these kids for high school. This school truly offers a fine balance. They have specialized teachers for various subjects, including technology. They also focus on presentation skills and even my little 7 year old has presented in front of the lower school! This is such an important communication skill that is disregarded in many elementary schools. I have also made amazing friends at RHCDS and I truly feel I am part of a family, or small community, even though I am a working mom and am not able to be there as much as I would like. I know my kids are cared for, safe, happy, challenged academically, and taught the same values that I teach at home. RHCDS is truly one of a kind and am so grateful to be a part of it.

We have been treated like family over the years - our children feel safe and known by their teachers and any questions or requests to the administration or teachers have been promptly and thoughtfully addressed. Our oldest child and middle school graduate, who now attends public high school, feels like she was well prepared academically and personally by teachers who challenged her to think critically and by expectations to be kind and respectful. There is obviously no perfect school and we are grateful to have found a school that aligns with our values!

This school does not focus on academic rigor. There is no homework or grades until 4th grade. The amount of regression in education we witnessed was sad, anger inducing, and extremely upsetting. We wasted a year of tuition and our child's time and would NEVER recommend this school for children who are not special needs or have other socialization issues.
