Life-Changing Experience…read more Attending ChoiceCenter Leadership University in Las Vegas was one of the most profound and transformational experiences of my life. The emotional intelligence (EQ) trainings completely changed the way I see myself, my relationships, and the world around me. Through this journey, I uncovered parts of myself I hadn't tapped into for years -- not only did I elevate my personal growth, but I deepened my connections with my partner and closest friends in ways I didn't think were possible. The tools and breakthroughs I walked away with continue to shape how I lead, love, and show up in every aspect of my life. If you're ready to challenge yourself, grow beyond your limits, and create lasting change -- this is the place. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Thank you, ChoiceCenter. You helped me wake up to the best version of myself.

We are really fortunate to have found this school after moving from out of State…read more My daughter had been going there for past year and she LOVES it, but most importantly for me as a parent, they strived to build a relationship with me personally so when I leave my child with them not only knowing that she will be learning, but also that she will be well taken care of As long as she is there. Principal Susan and all the teachers there shows they care deeply about each and every family, that is not something you can find easily in these days, so we cherish it very much. On top of these, their classes are pretty good for afterschool or summer school options. We go there for their public speaking, English, Math, art classes, as well as private Chinese class. We were able to get so much out of it, it is truly amazing. My daughter had gone to Mathnasium for a year and I can say with confidence from the look of the test result, this is way better. So if someone reading this is looking for an afterschool/summer camp option, give them a try, you won't regret it.

I saw a one-star review, which made me feel shocked. As a responsible adult, I find your assessment unfair. A child's study cannot be entirely dependent on school. As a new immigrant, I am still studying in college and preparing to apply for graduate school. The improvement of children needs the cooperation of parents and schools. If you expect to spend a little money to let the child improve in all aspects, then I believe that all the children in the world are excellent. This is obviously not practical. This school deserves your trust. Especially Jessie, the Chinese teacher, has 20 years of Chinese teaching experience and is highly recommended. 我的孩子在这所学校已经三年了，语文的进步是有目共睹的。尤其是英语和数学，自从开始排在倒数第二之后，就一直在公立学校的班级里名列前茅。看到了一颗星的评论，让我觉得很震撼。作为一个负责任的成年人，我觉得你的评价有失公允。孩子的学习不能完全依赖学校。作为一个新移民，现在还在读大学，准备申请研究生。孩子的提高需要家长和学校的配合。如果你期望花一点小钱就能让孩子各方面都有所提高，那么我相信天下所有的孩子都是优秀的。这显然是不实际的。这所学校值得你的信任。特别是中文老师Jessie，有20年的中文教学经验，值得大力推荐。 说几句题外话： 还是那句话、你自己不行、就别老埋怨路不平，路不平、还是你人不行。自己都没办法通俗流利的进行英语演讲和对话、不能写一篇符合标准的英语论文、然后把孩子的教育问题归结于补课学校、总寄希望于你的孩子将来如何优秀、那你移民美国的目的和初衷又是什么呢？真的是自己飞不起来、还逼孩子"笨鸟先飞"。

Odyssey Charter Elementary School is fantastic! They're a hybrid school, which means each student…read moreneeds to physically attend an in person class and the rest of the week they're home schooled. Principal Gerry Born is the best principal ever! Very attentive and very engaging with both teachers, students and parents. The teachers are spectacular! They really care about educating the children. They make sure they make it a fun environment, so the children feel at ease. Making it easier for them to learn new information. This school seems very advanced and up to date with their teachings and their technology. Since attending this school, I've noticed my child is a bit more advanced on the academic side compared to her other peers that go to regular in person public schools. Nothing against public schools, this school just works out for us as a family. This school uses real life scenarios in their quarterly projects. For example, they need to research about their dream vacation and how much it cost in real time and create a budget, etc. Surprisingly, as parents, after realizing her dream vacation was definitely more doable budget wise, we were able to actually take her on that dream vacation in less than a year's time. It not only teaches the students, but every assignment and project teaches us as parents as well. We highly recommend this charter school.

WHY DO THEY MARK IT DOWN? DON'T KNOW? it's honestly not like it makes it any faster! sure makes it seem like they are organized in doing so, but I asked my child one day & she said they just say "okay (child's name) your parent is here get ready" as a type of warning Im sure? but then she added on & said "but sometimes I can't hear who they say because it's really loud & I get in trouble if Im not ready because I wasn't listening". So my point is they need to find a new way to organize this situation. I can't fathom the amount of waiting it takes for parents with more than one child!!

I attended this charter school from 5th grade through my senior year. Many of the teachers…read moregenuinely cared about their students and made a positive impact on my education. Unfortunately, my experience with the administration was very different. Beginning in my freshman year, I experienced repeated sexual harassment both in person and online. I, along with other students, reported these incidents expecting them to be taken seriously. Instead, the administration's response left many of us feeling dismissed and unsafe. What was initially supposed to be an anonymous report quickly turned into a meeting where the students who reported the harassment were placed in the same room as the large group of boys who had made them feel unsafe. Rather than focusing on the repeated harassment that had been reported, we were told, "In a professional workplace, you'd be the one getting in trouble." We were also told that the administration had heard rumors that students were considering leaving because of these incidents, followed by the statement, "That won't be happening. Every student here will walk this stage at graduation." As students, we left that meeting feeling that protecting the school's reputation was more important than addressing the concerns we had brought up. Being told to "stop causing issues" instead of having our reports taken seriously was incredibly discouraging. I recognize that schools may not be able to share every detail of an investigation, and I am not commenting on what actions may or may not have happened behind the scenes. My issue is with how the students who came forward were treated. The response we received made many of us feel unsupported, invalidated, and less willing to report future incidents. This led me to transfer to a public school, where my experience was much better. I am really grateful for the few teachers who listened, showed compassion, and did everything they could to support me and my classmates. However, based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this school because I do not believe the administration handled reports of student harassment in a way that prioritized student safety.

We received flash cards and a sign language book as part of the class, which are helpful to remember the signs after learning the correct gesture during the class. My mother and wife attended with us as grandparents are invited to attend, and we all practice our signs with each other so we use consistent signs with the baby. I supplemented the class by watching some YouTube videos, but I enjoyed the live class because we could ask questions and get the repetition of the signs through songs and practice.

Shortly after our daughter was born we started the process of touring and evaluating the various…read moreprivate schools in Vegas. There is, in our opinion, no better option than the Meadows School. This is the kind of school that parents in Los Angeles, San Francisco or NYC have to jump through hoops to get their kids into, with massive politics and financial commitments at play. Yet in Vegas, many parents (including on our street) send their kids to Dawson due to its reputation for being easier and more artsy as they are terrified of the academic competitiveness of Meadows. If these same parents were in the Bay Area they'd be doing backflips trying to get their kids into the same sort of school there as Meadows. The campus is amazing. The curriculum is challenging. The kids are happy and very engaged in sports, theater, charity and other after-school activities. The parents are friendly and, especially the "Meadows Moms", work tirelessly to help out. Yes, your kid has to test into each school (K, middle, high). Great, we love a meritocracy rather than forced social promotion. And my daughter will have friends for life as she goes from K thru 12 here.

Give me a flippin break. Four people for a PART-TIME cheerleading coach position! Had to sit through this interview while the "HR" people mean mugged me the whole time. I'm sure it's a great school; the campus was beautiful but why the HR interview????? Weird vibes from them.
