    We love The Village Academy of San Diego!…read more If you are looking to break away from the traditional, limited education model offered by public and private schools, but are not quite ready for full time homeschooling, The Village Academy is a fantastic choice! I appreciate the peaceful, calm learning environment; the multi-age classrooms that allow for customizing the learning level to my child's needs and that allows kids of different ages to interact; and that my wishes are honored (i.e. I want my kiddo to have time daily to practice cursive).

    I am so glad I found the Village Academy for my daughter!…read more We took her out of the local public school last year because it was not a good fit for her, she cried nearly every day because it was too overwhelming and she was struggling. At the Village Academy she is thriving in the smaller intimate mixed-aged classrooms. Because of the small class size and individualized learning plan she is noticed, encouraged (and loved!) and the teachers understand her learning style and keeping track of her progress. There is close communication with the parents and our input is valued. Fridays are called adventure Fridays at the Village Academy. She has done so many fun and educational things on those days: Museums, tide pools, parks, a farm and much more.... learning doesn't just happen in the classroom! Nature and in-person experiences make learning come alive, the school is small enough to be able to facilitate many hands on activities both at the school and outside. I am thankful I get to take her to a place every day where she is challenged, feels known and is thriving.

    When we first started looking at elementary schools, we were living in Hillcrest and zoned for…read moreAlice Birney, a very good public school. We spent a lot of time at libraries and often picked up family magazines. At one point, we attended Clairemont Family Day, where TCPS had a booth. I spoke with Mrs. Szalay, then the kindergarten teacher (now assistant), and soon after we toured the school and attended its big annual event. That project, created by all grades around a theme, showed us how special the school was. What stood out most was the small size, the attention children receive, and the focus on social-emotional growth, which mattered most to us. From the beginning, TCPS felt like an extension of our home. The values we taught our children were reinforced at school, so we never worried about having to "unteach" conflicting lessons. Now, with a sixth grader, fifth grader, third grader, and kindergartner, we've seen our kids blossom. They're challenged, guided, and cared for. They've benefited from mentoring with older students, from learning public speaking starting in kindergarten, and from being truly heard while also nudged to grow. A major strength of TCPS is communication. Parents can connect with teachers daily at drop-off, pick-up, or by email. Teachers are responsive and proactive, even asking for updates if a child's morning isn't going well so they can be prepared. In addition, we have scheduled conferences before school starts, mid-year, and year-end. These conversations allow teachers to understand each child's personality, strengths, and goals. That personal approach is possible because of the small classes and school size. Our children love being at TCPS. They love learning and growing, and the school has not only nurtured that but also challenged them to reach their potential. In middle school, the transition to multiple teachers and heavier workloads has been significant, but our son isn't left to struggle--he's guided step by step and supported just as we would support him at home. TCPS truly feels like family. Parents are encouraged to be active participants--as room parents, on committees, at events, chaperoning field trips, or volunteering in class. I see this as a blessing, and I'm glad to contribute. In fact, TCPS has meant so much to us that we relocated to the Clairemont area just to be closer to the school. Every teacher also brings their own personality and passions into the classroom, making learning fun and engaging through unique projects. We honestly don't know where we'd be without TCPS. For us, it has been more than a school--it has been an extension of our family.

No parent should have to worry about their child's safety at school, yet that is exactly what happened. The lack of supervision, accountability, and urgency in handling such serious misconduct is unacceptable. I expected safety and responsibility -- instead, we were met with inaction and disappointment.

They offer homework assistance before school every morning in the library starting at 8 am. My son doesn't utilize it, but I'm sure if he needed to we would. He's been able to maintain an A average all year. His teachers are great. I love that they all embrace technology in the classroom, a marked improvement from elementary school. I especially love his speech and language therapist, she is just fantastic. She made the transition so smooth for him. I wish everyone had her excitement and passion for work. She is a great asset to this district. I know his life and time at Parkway Middle School is vastly improved for having her in it. Rather than focusing on past issues I have had with the district, I would just like to say that my experience with this school has been much more positive and I feel that my son has definitely experienced a better environment over here. I've also witnessed how they deal with behavior issues while on campus picking my son up for appointments. I was pleased with the approach; it was firm, fair and consistent.
