I moved back to Dublin around 3 years ago after having lived abroad since my kids were born. My two…read moreolder kids started in 2nd and 4th grade. Coming back from fancy international school, plus having one neurodivergent boy who needed extra help after Covid took so much time away from schooling, I was worried -- what if there's bullying, or bad teachers who don't care about students, or indifference or incompetence. Well we have been pleasantly surprised. Dublin El has been so accommodating and supportive, proactively supporting my child's needs. The principal and vice principal, along with school counselor and psychologist have been involved with the education plan as well (he has a 504 but doesn't need IEP). I haven't had to fight for anything or receive any hostility. They have matched us with wonderful teachers (Mrs. Logan in 2nd, Mrs. Dwyer in 4th). They also put him in weekly support group and targeted training outside of class, in areas where he needs more help. This year, my youngest started kindergarten here, and let me tell you that the curriculum is very robust for these little guys. I volunteer in class at least once a week, and I'm always surprised at how much they're trying to teach the kiddos. I almost think it's too much too early, and may be hard to keep up for some, but they do have afterschool remedial class for those who are falling behind. No wonder Dublin is a strong school district because they start them early.

This Yelp review is longgggg overdue--if I could give Brave Christian Preschool 10-stars, I…read moreabsolutely would. We're a military family without relatives nearby, and this school has truly become our extended family. We've been part of this community since my kids were just a few months old, and I can't say enough amazing things about the school. Why we love Brave Christian: ** Warm, family-like community - The staff and teachers genuinely care--it feels like home - My kids are deeply loved and supported every day. ** Engaging, thoughtful programming - Daily fun and enriching activities - Creative crafts (with special keepsakes for parents!); I look forward to all the fun "gifts" the kids make throughout the year. - Personalized yearly binders filled with drawings, photos, and memories that capture the kids growth and development ** One-of-a-kind facilities - Huge indoor gym - Outdoor courtyard with play structures and swings - Outside garden with weekly gardening activities - Auditorium ** Unique extras - Onsite Spanish teacher throughout the week - Pet lizard and bird to greet the kids each morning - Visits to the kindergarten classes up the hill for fun interaction with older kids - Special events like petting zoos and visits with exotic animals ** Family & community events - Harvest Festival - Ice Cream Socials - Science & Art Fair - Other onsite events that bring families together - Fun themes like Dr. Seuss week ** Nutritious (and fun) snacks provided that kids enjoy - A lot of the "snacks" are even heated/warm! ** Great communication & safety - Mobile App with daily updates and photos - Strong onsite security for peace of mind ** Support for military & families - Military discount + acceptance of military subsidies - Sibling discounts available ** Above-and-beyond teachers - Some have even become our trusted babysitters outside of school It's worth noting that Brave Christian is a faith-based school (as the name suggests), but the community is diverse, inclusive, and welcoming to families of all backgrounds and beliefs. They foster an environment where everyone feels respected and valued. At this age, the focus is on helping children grow into kind, respectful, and compassionate humans. This amazing team has helped raise my kids, and I've truly watched them flourish under their care. I'm so grateful we found this place. Thank you, Brave Christian, for pouring so much love into our family

Just sharing some more information for those looking at my review:…read more1. In terms of race and gender, they are quite diverse. But they are very faith-focused at many points. Please note that on their website they do endorse items like marriage being only between one woman and one man and even their class examining different religions has a Christian bias. That does not mean that non-Christians or people who may go against these values will 100% be treated bad(although I can't speak for any new changes or LGB people), but it is something to note if you are looking at this school. 2. Adding onto the diversity part, I had teachers that were more conservative, others that were a bit more nuanced, some I have no idea about, teachers who care about social justice. But all the teachers I had were very much nice to me in some way, even as a non-Christian. In other words, the teachers very much care about their job and ensuring your child will be well-rounded enough and good at thinking. I found that I was much better at thinking about the world as a whole, though that may be more about me than the school. But just note that there might be a diversity of views, some you might find uncomfortable, but none that I would call concerning or enough to tell you to not enroll. 3. They seem to really be investing more in sports again, and it's clearly working. Can't speak more about that, but if sports is a priority for you, that might be something to look at. 4. Please note that this review speaks about experiences for this school under its original title as Valley Christian. I can't speak for any new changes under Brave Christian, and they may result in a very different experience than my review has given. Personally, I didn't like what I heard about where the school was heading near the end of my experience there, but that is my opinion and I can be a bit pessimistic. Please do your research before making the decision about whether you would like your child to attend this school! In summary: Unless you just really do not like Christianity, it's worth having a look at this school. But be sure to have a deep look at the school before you make your choice.

(same grade as me) who troubled me, my teacher tried to stop this but as time went on, he punched me in the back) You guys need to be more serious about bullying ngl. One of my PE teachers was so condescending that it annoyed me. She could not understand me that well. Miss Bhatia is also very condescending, whenever I try to speak to her, she always raises her voice at me. You guys should implement a policy where everyone should be included and treated equally. Also make sure that the teachers are suitable and respectful to the school people and the environment. This school needs to change a bit. This school is getting there somehow. Just in general some people are nicer and others imo. Please make this school a one tribe by making it a fairer place for all and actually do something about these students problems please. Overall I might give 3.8 stars

The counselors are literally delusional and they will misjudge any single thing on your body and make false accusations . Ive seen my friends in fights and also they are accounts on instagram promoting it same with many hate accounts that get posted on weekly which I'm surprised if the school doesn't know cause they are a TON. This school has become trashy and ever since I've started a new school I've noticed a major difference cause all the kids at wells are disrespectful. Lots of kids also do not get good learning there too. This school has a ton of bullying and I've seen people switch out of that school because of it including myself. Do not send your kids to this school cause it will be a nightmare every kid I've seen here has been bullied or some very bad rumors, if your planning on sending your kids to school here please be careful.
