The recent negative reviews are garbage. Our Club's national…read morerecognition speaks for itself. Out of 4,000 Clubs we were awarded THE top award in the nation for our SMART Girls Teen Leadership Program. We do not have drugs passed around the teen center, teens who use profane language are reprimanded or sent home as our rules and expectations are very straight forward and are in writing. Our Program Director was awarded in June 2019, Professional of the Year for all 15 Clubs in OC, a huge honor for Buena Park. Our Staff do not "make teens download apps" on their phones. THE single app needed for teens to participate in this summers STEAM Photography Program was the only one required. Another fine example of our diverse hourly programming, and thus not teens just sitting around doing nothing all day. Children are not reprimanded for doing the right thing, that is asinine. However when a child is reduced to tears for being teased while changing from their wet swimsuit to dry clothes we feel that is not ok. Our service to our community is evident by the 560 registered members this summer, a record high as the families we serve continue to grow each year. Our 31% growth over the past 12 months confirms our quality staff and program as the adage Quality business thrives, bad business dies definitely rings true.

Thank you to the team at this club for providing such a great safe place for kids in this community!

My first grader attended the 2024 summer program at Young Scholars Academy ("YSA") and now attends…read morethe writing class during the 2025 school year. She has always been a pretty good student, but YSA has made her much better. It's as if she is a different student now than she was before that summer, especially with confidence in writing. She has learned so many things so organically that it was fun for her. She also has amassed a notebook of "beautiful sentences" (her words) that she constructs each week for YSA and from which she later picks and chooses phrases for poetry/creative writing. This has directly led her to win awards at national literature competitions, which I don't think she would have done had she not been in YSA. What more, she has made friends at YSA through the entertaining field trips and Fun Fridays. She was the new girl, but the kids attending YSA were all very kind, friendly, and generous. My daughter didn't want the summer to end! And I can't say enough good things about her teachers and Ms. Esther, the director. The teachers at YSA are creative and detail-oriented, and they give the kids so much individualized attention because the class size is so small (6 to 8 students per teacher). Then there's Ms. Esther, who you can tell from the start really loves kids and cares about how they are doing. She knows each student by name and who their parents are, she regularly sends detailed texts and photos showing how the kids are doing, and her interaction with each child is colored by warmth. For example, she thinks so much about each child's well-being that she will gently move children into the shade at lunch lest they get too much sun (such a mom thing to do but so bracing to see when someone does it for your child). She also makes sure that they wash their hands at the right times, that they have all their belongings with them, and that they eat what their moms want them to eat before rushing off to play. Wow! The children are taken care of so well--physically, emotionally, and academically. Overall, YSA is superb, and I will sing its praises to no end.

We liked that he was able to work in the middle school-age content/cohort and push his growth beyond what he was getting in his regular 6th grade school class. We are very happy with the results, and my son didn't want to stop attending (rare for an academy!) when we recently let YSA go to focus on other activities. Miss Esther is always positive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Her teachers did a good job of connecting with our son and motivating him to keep learning and developing. Things went well enough that we made a request for a series of special, private sessions to prepare my son for the written portion of the Whitney HS admissions exam. Miss Esther and her team worked out a schedule over the course of a month, and our son felt very confident and prepared for the exam. He felt good both before and after the test and ended up earning admission to Whitney! We are appreciative of the care and investment that the YSA team made in our son. We can't think of a higher recommendation than to say we are already planning to enroll our daughter at YSA in about a year when she prepares for middle school.

Let me start off by saying that this educational program and its services are superb!!! Excellent…read moreall around! However, it is challenging to retrieve transcripts. Challenging not because it is impossible, but challenging because Kathy Adams (the Administrator) makes the transcript retrieval process very difficult. If you call as a previous or current student looking to retrieve a transcript, she is very rude, uncooperative, and unhelpful for whatever reason. Students from all educational programs should be able to have access to their transcripts with ease so it should not be such an unpleasant process that Kathy creates. Nevertheless, ROP is a great program for students and I am not sure if they still have the Celebration of Success ceremonies, but if they do they are fantastic and well-deserving for the dedicated students in the program.
