We wanted a smaller school population (small teacher to student ratio), more tailored education, and personable experience for our child's middle school years. We were so lucky to have a fellow parent tell us about NLA. Our daughter is so happy to be at the school and is sad to only have one year left before high school. It has been an exceptional school and the teachers and the principal are just wonderful. We see joy in all of the children when we pick up our daughter at the end of the school day. Quite an accomplishment for middle school!

You know that someone has actually gone to W.C.I. when their face screws up in a mixture of disgust…read moreand fear at the mention of its name. I have the teacher's I love, Ms. Genzoli, who was awesome and Mr. Hoy who was constantly shocked when the one student who never did her homework or paid attention seemed to know the material the best when it came to test time. The mildly strange ones, Ms. Batz and Ms. Gautier who made me cook and lip sync in public, respectively. And the one's you hated so much they ruined the subject for you, that's right Ms Donahoe, I'm not a microbiologist because of you. They even had a YMCA that was here for awhile. Though why I participated I haven't the faintest. But it did seem to create some togetherness with us kids in a school where everyone basically hated each other and years later I still know a bit about what happened to a few of them. The best was when after speaking to a friend of mine I found out she knew one of them, Josh, who I hadn't spoken to in at least 6 years if not more. I told her the story of when the W.C.I. YMCA kids all went to Old Sac and bought fake "cigarettes." Josh and a couple others were kicked out of Carl's Jr for "smoking" and for the rest of the year I harassed him about it. Getting him on the phone more than 6 years later, the first thing she asked was, "So I hear you got kicked out of a Carl's Jr for smoking?!" To which he shockingly asked back, "Meg?" Ahh memories.

In our experience, WCI had serious issues with student behavior, including racism, vandalism,…read moreonline bullying, and a noticeable sense of entitlement among some students. I heard Caucasian students use the N-word on multiple occasions, and there was repeated bathroom vandalism, including soap dispensers being torn off the walls and thrown into toilets. Bullying also carried over onto TikTok and Instagram. The teachers seemed to have very limited ability to control the situation, which contributed to a negative environment. Since moving to another city and school district, we have not seen any of the issues we experienced at WCI, and that difference has been very telling.

We've been a Seven Hills family for over five years, and I truly can't speak highly enough of this…read moreincredible school. Our daughter started in 4th grade and is now thriving in 8th; our son began in Kindergarten and is currently in 4th, and both of them have grown in such distinct, beautiful ways thanks to this school's Whole Child approach. What stands out most is how deeply seen and known my kids are. Teachers and faculty don't just know their names, they know their learning styles, personalities, quirks, and strengths. There's a genuine warmth and intentionality that permeates every interaction, from the classroom to the carline. Our daughter was always more cautious and slow to warm up (nothing wrong with that!), but over time, Seven Hills helped her find her voice. She's now confidently volunteering for public speaking opportunities and participating in leadership roles like the Student Ambassador program. The Middle School program has been phenomenal and it's given her a strong academic foundation and the confidence to advocate for herself. One of her favorite subjects has been science, thanks to their incredible Middle School lab and interactive curriculum. She'll often tell us about the experiments they're doing, and it's clear she's not just learning science, she's experiencing it. One of our favorite traditions is the Buddies Program, where older and younger students are paired up for the year (think: 4th graders with Kindergartners). Watching my kids grow into both the mentee and the mentor role has been incredibly touching. They read together, do projects, and genuinely form bonds that span grades and years. We also love the family-friendly events that bring everyone together, from community dinners to beginning-of-year teacher phone calls. These touch points make us, as parents, feel like we're part of something bigger, not just dropping our kids off, but truly participating in their educational journey. The curriculum is rich and thoughtfully designed. My daughter learned about World War II in history class -- and then walked through the beaches of Normandy during the school's immersive Europe trip. It's the kind of education that sticks for a lifetime. The arts are equally valued: my son is learning ukulele in 4th grade, and my daughter is playing guitar in 8th. The annual plays, music programs, and outdoor educational trips -- it's all there. My only complaint? I just wish Seven Hills went through 12th grade. The transition out is going to be tough, not because she isn't ready, but because the bar has been set so high. After five years of academic growth, rich leadership experiences, and meaningful social-emotional development, my daughter is heading into high school capable, and deeply grounded. Honestly, I'd keep my kids here forever if I could, but alas, even magical places like this have to end at 8th grade!

Paid three years to realize that they don't have any learning program for kids. Reading the review…read moreI can only agree with the bad one. Presentation very well. But it's like you pay to let your kids out of your home just for playing. There is not focus of learning for kids, not a follow up to what they should achieve and what can be done. Looks like there are teachers they're just nannies over there. Make sure to know what's the school year plan before you realize it's too late for you kiddo. I understand who was disgusted to be proposed to be a teacher that actually wasn't. That's a shame somebody has to regulate all the private schools. Federal government should do something. It's everyone right to have the chance to learn in a Proper way especially when you give to them your Moneys.

The school's location is perfect with downtown Walnut Creek right there. School parking is tight,…read morebut a back lot accessible via Whole Foods offers additional coveted spots. Las Lomas needs to be torn down and rebuilt as a 2 story school with a larger green space and a full size pool like Northgate. The old buildings are in disrepair with plexiglass replacement windows and underground pipes rerouted over the tops of buildings. The facilities have out lived any aesthetic charm they once had. Watched kids hide under the pull out steam grates to smoke pot. Told them to get out, but obviously it wasn't the first time they've done this given the amount of crap down there.

Very disappointing school from a parents aspect. So many unanswered emails to teachers last year…read moreand most have voicemails that are full. School is totally impacted and resources are scarce for communication. My son was told repeatedly he cant see his counselor as she has 600 students that take precedence over him. Nice. At this point I just want him to graduate and move on but very disappointing experience and poorly ran. Side note- not even relevant but when you walk into the admissions office I dont really think it is appropriate to see the WC police officer that resides there periodically with her feet up on the counter where I check in with someone. It just looks unprofessional even if there is not much for her to do, get your feet down!

Pretty sad & embarrassing. Then add to it, the ref was locked arm-in-arm with this school's coach, haha, and literally had an arm around the waist at one point!! Suddenly it makes sense why there were sooooo many TERRIBLE calls. You know it's bad when you hear parents on the opposite team commenting about the bad ref calls IN THEIR FAVOR! This poor ref was so "proud" of himself that he refused to provide his name to the score keeper's table to put on record as having reffed the game, lol. Literally refused!! As if they wouldn't find out eventually, I mean, he would like to get paid, right?!... ------------------------------------------------- For football... if you're the opposing team & you're winning, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE CLOCK!!! Whoever is in their scorekeeper's box/tower INTENTIONALLY starts the clock a few seconds after the snap in order to give their team more time to catch up, AND sometimes when the clock is supposed to keep running, they'll randomly stop the clock. It's insane! Then, when they're ahead, you watch the clock suddenly begin starting/stopping correctly. No joke! Also, same with other sports, be prepared for the refs to behave as if they're paid off... bogus calls & penalties for the opposition, while allowing dangerous hits (blindside, late hits, leading with helmets, undercover punching, aligator-twisting legs as they tackle, pass interference, & more) go "unnoticed." The refs fail to do their jobs so things get out of hand & injuries occur. Never fails at thos school's games. It's sad & disgusting.

I read a few comments complaining about the Biblical views, well, this is after all a Christian School that teaches Biblical truth and not a watered down version of it. Berean actually applies the Bible as God has commanded, so it is appropriate that the school is against certain behaviors and actions. As a parent I appreciate that and my son seems to find it a great place to be. This school is truly a gem for believing parents and teenagers in the Bay Area.

I attended Berean for both my freshman and sophomore years, and unfortunately, my experience there…read morewas extremely disappointing. As a student of color, I often felt unwelcome and unsupported. Throughout my time at the school, I experienced repeated bullying and racist remarks from other students. Despite these incidents being brought to the attention of staff, little to nothing was done to address the situation appropriately. What made the experience even more upsetting was the clear favoritism shown by staff toward certain students. Discipline and school policies, especially the dress code, seemed to be enforced unfairly. I was dress coded numerous times for outfits that other students wore without consequence, which made the treatment feel inconsistent and discriminatory. The environment at the school became so toxic and emotionally draining that I eventually transferred to another high school because the bullying had become unbearable. Instead of feeling safe and supported in what should have been a positive Christian environment, I felt isolated, targeted, and silenced for most of my time there. In my opinion, the school did not reflect the values of Christianity, such as kindness, fairness, compassion, and inclusion. No student should feel forced to leave a school because of bullying, racism, or unequal treatment.

Expecting 4-year-olds to already be writing and recognizing letters feels academically misplaced for a Transitional Kindergarten level. What's worse is the inconsistency--it's clear the "rules" don't apply to everyone, as kids who can't yet write their names are accepted while the process remains a "black box" for everyone else. It feels more like a biased "who you know" system than a transparent evaluation of a child's readiness. We also noticed during our tour that the school's diversity is very low. In today's world, we want our children to learn in an environment that reflects the broader community, and we didn't see that here. Definitely something to consider if transparency and inclusion are priorities for your family.
