I can not speak higher of Page Academy for my Son. His 1st grade experience with Ms Kaytee has been beyond wonderful. The attention and support he has received with the small class size has helped him in both his academic and social development. Ms Kaytee went above and beyond with providing a customized education that allowed my child to flourish and be challenged. The education and supportive framework that Mrs Kristen has put in place has resulted in a wonderful sense of community. Whether the children are participating in the bi-yearly musical performances or the yearly spelling bee, all the kids are encouraged and supported to try something new. At Page, parents do not need to worry about bullies or having their child fall between the cracks. The students are cared for and the teachers go above and beyond to ensure each child is supported while learning a solid curriculum. Thank you Page read more

I live near this school and I just want to know why it is always so LOUD. There is constantly music playing and children performing ? Outside and the sound of course echoes throughout the community. It's hard to work from home some days and it seems very odd for an elementary school to have music playing so often, unless is it a performing arts school and I was unaware. I am all for children having a fun learning environment but would it be impossible to consider the neighborhood surrounding? Wouldn't bother sending my child here in the future, I'd be worried they won't actually be learning anything. Just how to badly perform. read more

Page academy is by far the best school ever! I know we aren't supposed to name names but this person is so wonderful that I had to share this! One of the staff members at Page, Ms. Kristin is such a wonderful gift to our family. She's an amazing person who truly cares so much for these kids. What is even better is she understands each and every one of them on their level. She has helped my daughter so much as well as our family as a whole! We have grown into better parents, and have had the pleasure of watching our daughter go through all sorts of normal changes, as all kids do, while being able to get a better understanding as to the progression of life for a teen! Through it all, she has this huge heart for all of the kids, she has this amazing ability to be totally unbiased to all of Pages children! She's an amazing guide and support! All of the staff at this school is what makes the school so amazing. This is a group that doesn't judge anyone and treats everyone with respect and instills values in our kids, while keeping them safe! I cannot say enough good things about this school. What I do know is they have changed al of our lives for the better and I am forever grateful to them! We love all of you at Page Academy and thank you from the bottom of our heart for taking such good care of our kids and being such an important part of their development! Thank you Page for constantly contributing to our society by shaping our kids to be the best they can be!!! read more

Page Academy - A Halloween celebration! - Elementary Schools Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Our son is in the infant program at Page and we are so grateful for his teachers Ms. Julie and Mrs. Berenice. All of the teachers / caregivers here are excellent and care about the children. I feel like they are extended family and extended eyes and ears to things that are going on with my son. They do the cutest art projects and photo shoots with the babies and every time I check the camera - they are reading, blowing bubbles or playing. They (and our doctor!) have helped navigate us through these months with regards to food, sleeping and overall milestones. We highly recommend Page Academy! read more

I would highly recommend Page to any parent. Our daughter started in the potty training room last year. Her teachers Ms Loida and Ms Vanessa have taught her so much and are loving and kind. They fully potty trained her! She comes home with art projects and knowing new things every day. She absolutely loves school and we couldn't be more grateful read more

We have two kids at Page's daycare/preschool program and have really enjoyed the experience we have had there. The teachers are great, they all know my kids and are warm and caring towards them. My son, who has been there since he was a baby, just started the preschool program and I am very pleased with how much he has learned in the few months since he started the preschool curriculum. I definitely recommend Page. Also, the school offers some great features: webcams; separate rooms for infants, crawlers, and walkers; 6:30 to 6:30 standard hours (which is SO convenient); catering for preschoolers; on site soccer and tennis programs; and a summer program that includes swimming in the school's (shallow) pool (for preschoolers) or water play (for toddlers). Great school! read more

My kids have been going to this school for several years now. I write this review to give a current and accurate "skinny" on what is going on at this school that most of you probably don't know. I have more than one child that goes to this school, ranging from first grade to 7th grade. Initially, during the tour, the school purported itself to be emphasizing an artistic curriculum based heavily in music and art. Being in the industry myself, I was very attuned to having my children go to this type of school, because I felt it was a nurturing and stimulating environment. In theory, this would still hold true. Unfortunately, this is not the case at this school, even after some music and art curriculum "changes" in the past year. First, let me address math and science. The math curriculum at this school is borderline scary. For example, my oldest, has had no less than 5 math teachers during the last three years. In fact, at the writing of this post , the 7th grade class has no permanent teacher. Needless to say, the continuity has been completely lost and the children are continuously having to backtrack and relearn material, causing them to lag behind in the math and science curriculum. I am not sure why this is the case. You would think the school would have enough money to hire and retain a teacher, since its private. But, I venture to guess they don't pay their teachers enough or teachers find that this school is not a good fit for them. Secondly, as previously mentioned, the music curriculum moved from atrocious to barely passable. When you say you have a superior art and music program , I expect it to be so. The reality is the kids are getting a basic education in music and art , not much more superior to public education, where there is one teacher per 500 students. It pains me to go to the annual music concerts at this school. It is an embarrassment on any level and I have said so much to the principal over the past few years. I could write a book on why it is this way, but trust me, you do not want to go to this school if you are interested in a liberal arts program for your child. If you're interested in that, there is another school, not even a mile away that you can look into (in Costa Mesa) that will fill that bill nicely. In over over 6 years that I've had experience with this school, there are a couple of good teachers that are actually still there.. But that's it. In summary, I would not recommend this school. I'm surprised this school is even accredited. In general, if you want a good education for your child, I encourage you to look at other options.. read more

When you go to the open house or school events, they are super friendly and attentive. Then you try to call with questions during school days -- nothing! Then you have your daughter having an issue with a staff member -- oh, watch out! Then they find out you are not rich... or that you actually struggle to come up with this kind of tuition -- well, you can only imagine IT'S DOWNHILL FROM THERE!! read more

My son attended Page's infant daycare from 4 - 10 months old. He was in both the infant room and the crawlers room. I have to say that this school is absolutely amazing! The only reason he doesn't go there anymore is because I decided to stay home with him. The teachers are very experienced with babies, they love the children and take excellent care of them while you are at work. One of the best parts is they have cameras so you can peek in at your baby during the day! Only major holidays they do dress up parades and it's absolutely adorable. It is one of the more expensive daycares in Orange County - but you definitely get what you pay for here. I highly recommend Page Academy to any parent looking for a top notch daycare facility! read more

We love Page - both of our girls have attended Page since they were a few months old. The staff is amazing and like part of our family!

If I could give more stars I would! Our little girl started here when she was 2.5 months old and is now 5 months old. Being my first child I was a nervous wreck about leaving her at a daycare. I can honestly say Page was the best choice. We deal with Ms. Julie and Ms. Dayana the most as they are the infant teachers. However, every teacher we have met has been incredible. I never worry about my baby during the day because they send me pics periodically and I can check in on her with the cameras. She is always happy and genuinely loves going to her teachers when we drop her off! Hands down worth every penny! read more

I highly recommend this Page !! In fact. I can't tell you enough how much I LOVE it. If you are looking for a TRUELY PRIVATE SCHOOL, this is it!! It is small and intimate. Every teacher knows every kid from every grade. These kids get so much attention and one on one it's impossible for them not to do well. They offer so much out door free time for the kids, the balance just promotes a healthy learning environment. The kids are empowered and made to feel responsible at a young age, as they get to move around from classroom to classroom for different subjects. I can't tell you how many times I came on campus and the kids were on the floor brainstorming or constructing or engaging in a project based learning activity. Most importantly, because the school is small, there are no "bad" kids or negative influences. There are 13 cameras on campus and locked gates keeping the kids safe at all time. It is well worth every penny! read more

I've had all 3 of my children attend this school since pre school for 12 years. That fact should speak for itself. A well rounded education is important to me and the kids are taught Spanish as well as music and art by an outstanding teacher. The class size is small but this allows each student to be recognized as the unique individuals they are which bolsters their confidence. The staff is comprised of teachers who are caring, passionate, compassionate, and creative. The campus is very clean and all the teaching tools in the classroom are state of the art. I couldn't ask for a better education for my kids through 8th grade. read more

I have a 20 month old who has gone to the daycare since he was 4 months old. He has thrived here, even learning baby sign language. The infant teachers will go exactly by the feeding/sleep schedule you give them, and when they get to the toddler room they are on a set schedule. My son has learned so much and surprised me today by saying "thank you" without being prompted. The only negative is that I just wish the ratio of kids to teachers was 3 to 1 instead of 4 to 1. read more

We toured a number of preschools in Costa Mesa and Page was the only one that ticked all our boxes. I love that they have a webcam in the classrooms that we have access to via app, it's super convenient when I want to see what our kiddo is up to. They also provide snacks and help with potty training! They also have a lunch catering service for an extra fee. The tuition is a bit more but it includes extended hours for up to 12 hours/day. The teachers are wonderful and give you a report daily if you pick up early enough..they will verbally update you. Since they're also an elementary and middle school, they do a lot of activities throughout the year. We Highly recommend this school!! read more

This is a review for the Infant/Toddler program. I moved my son here from another daycare that was just not a good fit for my son and my needs. First, the teachers are caring and loving. They treat my son as if he was their own with lots of hugs and kisses. They work with the parents on a plan they want there child to be on. Second, web cams. Need I say more? Third, 3 different rooms for babies starting from infant, to crawling to toddlers (1+ and walking). These three reasons is why I am very happy with the school. My son loves his teachers and is growing a developing beautifully! read more

Page school is the best! My wife and I were having a very difficult time deciding where to leave our newborn daughter when her maternity leave was up. We checked out tons of places and felt the best about Page. Our daughter has now been attending for 3+ months and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The staff is attentive with our daughter and we really feel like she is in caring hands while she is there. Some of the reviews on here aren't great and we were a little apprehensive after reading some of them but trust us this is a great place for your little one. James was great in helping us get into the program and her teachers have all been AMAZING! They even text us pictures of our daughter having fun all the time. :) Great school, great value, and EXCELLENT staff! read more

The reason this business is getting one star is because of their Assistant Principal Mr. James Shafer. I tried to get in touch with Kristin Dickson the listed Director on their site to appeal to someone's senses in regards to my family having to go overseas to visit our elderly and very sick grandparents, grandma with cancer and grandpa suffered two strokes both in their late 70's...there was no sign of her. Unprofessional, inexperienced and lacking customer service skills on the administration team, especially Mr James Shafer the assistant director has given me an attitude and told me that it's my loss if I don't bring my son in and that I will have to pay for the 3 weeks I will be missing, merely a $900 plus because I signed a contract and that vacation didn't start yet but I did give them sufficient enough notice, almost one month, I offered to pay for three weeks during my son's Vacation and switch around those three weeks so everyone will be happy but no there was no reasoning with him, how much of a heartless SOB can you be to make such a decision. I told him ok, I will pull him out and when we come back we will talk and re-register him because we already paid $250 registration in March, well his reply was, I don't know if we will have room for Lukas when you get back...he has no compassion, common sense and I am surprised if his blood runs warm. I got back and called, he was not there (three days in a row)...no one could tell me if there were any available spots in the class and the assistant principal was the only one that could open up the computer to find out if any spots were available (for Lukas)...are you kidding me, how stupid do you think I am...wow...overall the second impression was non-responsive administration who's gone missing, not sure that Title 22 would agree with it but will definitely look into it. I honestly don't know how they are in business. I would never recommend this school to anyone, based solely on the person that leads it, if Mr James Shafer is like that, what example does he give, not a good one especially not in a school. read more

I feel very happy to find this school for my son 7th grader. This is a wonderful school with an affordable tuition for middle class family. The principle, director, administrator and all teachers are very kind. I feel safe to leave my son here while I am working. I will refer this school to my family and friends. read more

The Best School in Orange County! My son Max attended Page Private School for 10 years. He started in Pre-K, and eventually worked his way to 8th grade and graduated with Honors. Why am I writing this review now? I want to share OUR great experience, and express my sincere gratitude for all the years and their help, with developing my son. Yesterday, my son returned to Page to help his former teachers and catch up on his developments during his first year in High School and his experience at another campus other than Page. But before I start I would like to take you back to when my child was 4yrs old. I was working in the Corona del Mar vicinity at the time for the fourth largest financial institution in the world, in their Private Banking sector. I interviewed several campuses in Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, Anaheim Hills, Yorba Linda before making my final decision to go with Page Private School in Costa Mesa. There were many great determining factors, however; the one that stands out the MOST is the STAFF! The teachers, administrators, and the executive team were always professional and reachable. They have always made us feel like a family. My son was not a number, everyone knew him by his first name. The Principal's door was always opened as well as the Senior Director's door we addressed the good along with the bad, communication was never an issues, they ALWAYS had time for us. My son wasn't always an honor student; actually it wasn't until middle school, which I reached out to Mrs. Kristin Dickson, about needing to motivate my son to achieve straight A's, and understanding the importance of being in a "elite group" rather than one that gets B's and some A's. I knew the next few years would be extremely important and I needed the help from the teachers and Directors to help me lay the foundation for my son...and that is, exactly what they did! Ms. Tiffany was extremely hands on in helping my son prepare for High School. Max is now a sophomore in High School, he is a Scholar Athlete, taking his first AP course, and is in varsity soccer. This is attributed to the various different programs that Page offers at their school. Whether it is sports, academics, or music, Page has always and still is driven to improve your child's ability and pushing them out of their comfort zone and telling them to reach for the stars, because nothing is impossible. I chose Page for my son (and it was the BEST decision ever!), at the time I did not work near the campus nor do we live near the campus. As a matter of fact, my husband and I drove approximately 20 miles each way for 10 years (at times, it was multiple trips per day when Max would forget his homework), if that doesn't tell you something, I honestly, don't know what possibly will. I will be completely honest, I don't miss the drive, however; I miss the STAFF. From, the maintenance crew, to the administrators, teachers as well as the directors, they have always displayed professionalism, and their customer service skills are superb, but it's the sincerity in their smiles and the warmth they exude that makes them extra special! I highly recommend any of the Page Private School campuses, but I am forever grateful for to Newport Mesa, campus, especially to the directors, Mr. Shafer and Mrs. Dickson and Mrs. Kelly who works fiercely to keep everything flowing seamlessly. read more

Page is an excellent school that allows parents to feel confident in their decision to enroll their child there.. The pre-school program is one that challenges yet nurtures your little one at the same time. The teachers truly care and it shows. I feel the hidden gem of page is the elementary side. The staff is amazing. The teachers are amazing and the curriculum is by far one of the best in the area. Students are challenged yet also recognized for their strengths. Spanish and the arts are part of the regular curriculum. Teachers connect with parents and communicate....As a parent you want the best for your child and with page you can guarantee that will be the case. read more

BEWARE! Page has no interest in ensuring the best for your child or your satisfaction as a parent. You will feel more valued buying a cup of coffee from Starbucks. The long winded charter Mr. Vaughan posts on this site is completely opposite of my family's experience at the Costa Mesa preschool. There is no accountable point of contact to escalate concerns. Administration is more interested in defending everything they think they are doing instead of answering basic questions. Forget offering any innovative ideas, they don't want to hear it. As a preschool parent I was very patient through numerous issues; my baby was given another mothers breast milk, her picture posted on a public FB page which I didn't know existed, the carpets were so filthy in the toddler room I bought area rugs after the PS Director said she wouldn't sit on the carpets and yet it was ok that infants crawl around at the end of the day, just a week ago the preschool was fined after an impromptu visit from the DOH for leaving a sleeping infant unattended and I could go on. My personal experience promptly ended after I set up a call with the Asst. Director at a time that worked for him. This was after attempting to communicate via email which was unproductive. Only then to call at the agreed to time and have him tell me he wanted to put me on speaker because he was busy and working on other things. After spending aprx. 15 minutes trying to get basic invoice and school fee questions answered, this Asst. Director suggested that Page might not be the right fit for us. I was called later that day by the Director and told other parties were on the call (who didn't announce themselves) including the PS Director that had cared for my child. The Director also justified the Asst. Directors behavior and then the Director accused me of saying something I did not say. She also stated at times that Page can't make parents happy they are asked to leave. I called the President directly and he has not returned my calls. This experience was the icing on the cake. The leadership at this place lacks accountability and integrity. The most unfortunate aspect is the poor judgement of the Administration only negatively impacts the wellbeing of the kids and the good teachers they employ. I would never entrust Page to 'develop' my child. I can say tuition is cheap, but you get what you pay for! Beware. read more

My child not been attending this school for 4 months yet I still get the school updates and monthly bills. I am deeply disappointed in how this school handled daily situations and is still unable to perform simple administration tasks such as removing a student from the mailing and bill generation lists. During our enrollment at your school, I felt like I did not have a voice when issues arose. I had emailed or left a voicemail for Kristin the director several times and never received a response back. My 15 month son was kicked out of preschool for biting - a normal behavior at this age - while he was growing in all four molars and several other teeth. It was difficult to teach him at home that this behavior was unacceptable because he did not do it here. As an accredited school, I would think you are equipped to handle such situations but are rather faced with "We can deal with pushing and shoving, but not biting. That we cannot handle." After several parent-teacher conferences, I was told a lot of "feel good" messages such as "let's work as a team" but this never happened. I proposed several changes to the toddler room such as 1) immediate feedback-Sending a child home is not going to register in a 15 months brain. 2) Increasing the amount of smaller toys to stick in their mouths to aid with the teething process and 3) Including a reset period after improvement has been shown. I.E. if a child hasn't bitten in X time, the count resets. Yet, I never got a response to these proposals and was faced with suspensions. Yes, a 15 month old was suspended from preschool - seems like more of a punishment for the parents for missing work as a 15 month old cannot correlate biting someone the day before and spending more time with Mommy or Daddy. Ultimately we were faced with, "It has come to the point where we believe we have done everything we can to avoid any more incidents". We ended up switched schools as we were tired of dealing with suspensions. Since switching schools, we have not had any problems since! Perhaps it was a combination of undertrained teachers, too much stimulation, and a lack of items to aid with teething. I had several other issues with this school. 1) The toddler room always smells like mold. They claim it was from diapers and tried to cover it up with an air freshener but it was definitely a mold smell. 2) The kids always changed classrooms (up to 3 different rooms and the playground). When I picked my son up, it was like a scavenger hunt trying to find his stuff and none of the teachers seemed to know where it was. 3) Lack of communication. The staff claimed to give us papers to sign and return, necessary doctor's notes, etc. yet none of the parents received these papers. I hope all the perspective students' parents reading this will realize the flaws in your school and will look elsewhere so they do not have to deal with the frustrations and disappointments I dealt with. read more

Our daughter has been going to Page Academy since she was 5 months old and she is now 19 months old. We absolutely love the school and the teachers. She started in the Infant Room then moved to the Crawler Room and now is in the Toddler Room. Every teacher she has had has been wonderful. They have taken the time to really get to know our daughter as well as my husband and me. We appreciate the constant feedback they give us on how she is doing; love they are teaching them so many things at such a young age and it's awesome seeing all the fun art projects they do with the kids. We really are blessed to have all these teachers in our lives. We definitely recommend this school/daycare! read more

Perfect private school in Orange County. Small class size and a great curriculum.

Unprofessional, inexperienced administration team. Lacking expertise in child development, behavioral problems and customer service skills. Non-responsive administration who won't return phone calls. I've never experienced worse customer service. Completely childish to not even return a phone call. Appalled. I honestly don't know how they are in business if they can't respond to their customers concerns or complaints. It's common courtesy to return a phone call. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Here's my story: My two-year-old was suspended for entire week out of the blue for biting (something she only seems to do at school, never at home - might not believe me, but it's true). I called and spoke to the director of the preschool and asked if we could come up with an action plan. She agreed and said she would get back to me - that she needed to do some research for our unique situation. Three weeks later, still no action plan. And when I saw while on-campus, she would mysteriously disappear the moment she saw me. I thought they wanted to help correct this behavior? Be a solution? I was looking toward them as the experts they claimed to be. They never sat down with us, never could tell us the situation surrounding the incident, if it was always the same child, same time of day. No insight. No conversation. Just suspension for a week for a two-year-old. And no follow up. Next issue: My daughter was sick so we kept her home 2 days until she was fever free for 24 hours. Her first day back, we get a call saying they think she might have hand-foot-mouth and we need to pick her up and she can't return without a doctor's note (apparently, 1/2 the class had it - why a note wasn't send home warning parents is beyond me). No problem, my husband picks her within the hour and takes her to the doctors. The doctor gave us a release stating she was safe to return to school. The school says the note is invalid and she must stay home for 7 days per CDC or Dept. of Health guidelines. I looked online and never saw those guidelines anywhere. After 2 days of trying to discuss the situation with them, I finally spoke to an administrator who didn't remember where he saw the guidelines. He said he would email me where the guidelines were online. Guess what - never got an email. Instead I got an overnight box full of my daughter's things and a letter terminating our contract. Unbelievable. Completely unacceptable not to call. Ridiculous. read more

intially my experience was wonderful, til my daughter transferred to mrs madelaine visaurris class for two year olds. in the short two weeks my girl attended she was neglected and her behavior changed dramatically for the worse, crying fits w/o explanation , lack of appetite and disinterest in going back to school. mrs visaurri had the nerve to diagnose my daughter as autistic, i was horrified i had her tested and she is completely normal. use the daycare web cam keep close eye on your toddlers in her class, she is lazy and neglectful. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful & positive things about this school. This is the only school that my daughter Ava has ever known and was always very happy to be there and it was a sad day to say goodbye at graduation time last June . . . but exciting to take with her skills & knowledge acquired at this amazing school. I loved the intimate classroom sizes and the warm & friendly family feel at this school. My daughter has been at Page Academy since preschool and she is now a straight A Freshman Honors student at Mater Dei High School. Not only did Ava transfer over to Mater Dei after graduating Page but also 4 of her classmates. They are also in Honors classes as well. She has developed very close friendships with her classmates & teachers that I am sure she will maintain all of her life. It was a very safe environment that I could drop her off at early in the mornings 6:30am and then pick her up sometimes at 6:30pm. She loves & respects the staff & teachers and loves being there and absolutely loves to learn. She has established extremely organized study habits and takes pride in her work. Page has helped with continual encouragement, support & inspiring her to attain great results in all that she does. Then the time came when we were looking at High Schools for her to continue with post-Page. She tested at some very challenging & well respected high schools and her test scores were amazing and I know that Page has prepared her for greatness. She has turned out to be a very well rounded, respectful, patient, young lady and is wise beyond her years and starts tasks with the end in mind. She now excels academically and I credit many of these wonderful qualities to Page. I say this because I am a single mother and she would spend much time there at before school, during school & after school programs (up to 12 hours/day) and their exceptional academic influence, guidance & support has been paramount. I can't thank the school enough for everything that they have done, academically, socially, morally . . . we will forever be in deep gratitude to this amazing school! read more

Both of my children have been attending Page Private for the last 5 years at the Garden Grove campus. They love the staff and teachers! My dislike is not on the school and teachers, my dislike, frustration, disappointment, and anger is towards the owner, his daughter Kristin and the management. I am infuriated and feel so offended that after all these years with page private, the owner has decided to close down the garden grove campus and has been SO UNPROFESSIONAL about it. WE the parents that want the best education is what keeps YOU in business Kristin Vaughn! We never got a phone call or even a meeting in person to discuss what was going on!! That shows how much they appreciated our business!! And to top it off we got a white pice of paper from the vice principal at the Costa Mesa campus with plain black ink offering a tour about the Costa Mesa campus!! Whatever happened to being professional and sending at least CUSTOMIZE letters in letterhead about this serious matter!!! I feel offended!!! All that money we pay for a white price of paper?!?! WTF! My daughter has been crying nonstop because of the closing of the school, yesterday was their last day and to top it off, we the parents, our children and other teachers hadn't finished hugging and comforting each other and exchanging phone numbers when the cleaning crew were already picking up the chairs and other playground equipment while we had the graduation concluding!! You have no feelings Kristin and the owner!! All you care is about $$ and not the feelings and emotions of the people that made you that $$!!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND PEOPLE!!! read more

The Page Academy family took such wonderful care of our daughter. From the first day, they made us feel so incredibly welcome. They have an exceptionally special program there, and we will gladly recommend any friends and family to their wonderful school. From the bottom of hearts, thank you Page Academy! read more

I feel compelled to write this review. I was impressed by Page by my first impression and several initial walk throughs (my father in law is very thorough and I am an admitted helicopter mom so I love that they have cameras in the classrooms that I can log onto during the day to peek in on them :) I was very nervous sending my 2 year old twins off to school but Ms. Madeline, Ms. Bree and Ms. Brenda all did their best to make me feel comfortable and not ridiculous for how I felt. They were all understanding and compassionate. They handled all instances of separation anxiety from my children swiftly, professionally and with care. I have to admit that I am always at the school either dropping something off or checking in and on-line. I was so impressed by the activities my twins were learning. Ms. Madeline is a gifted and patient teacher who is very knowledgeable. She has a way with the children that makes them all love her. Her curriculum far exceeds what I would expect for 2 year olds and my son recently was reviewed for school services and rated well above his peers cognitively. Both of my twins have learned so much and are both really coming out of their shells. I've seen a noticeable improvement in their self esteem now that they have been in her class. She also kept parents very up to date on what the children were learning with photos that often times she printed on her own and sent home before they set up a private Facebook page that I love and stalked daily. All the teachers pitch in to help one another and all the teachers in the preschool area know my children which I think is awesome. I can tell that my children feel very loved and cared for. I had direct contact with Ms. Madeline and now Ms. Hue to ask a question or for them to tell me if there were any concerns. Ms. Hue is their teacher this year and has been wonderful. I watch her teaching lessons to my children and she gives them activities they can do at home that are fun and educational. She is extremely contentious and goes the extra mile. My children love her. Since there is extra supervision on the playground with many teachers watching she will sometimes even braid my daughters hair! Both teachers send daily reports home that tell me their diaper or potty schedule, if they napped and for how long, what they ate and how much/if they liked it and what lessons they learned. I love this school because when I pick them up i know what to make for dinner, how to have lunches for them that are what they like and will eat, whether or not they need to use the bathroom and why someone may be a bit grumpy due to lack of nap. But most importantly I love it for the education & care they are receiving. This school is a very special school. I can see why they are known for their academics and I for one truly appreciate their staff beyond description. read more

Both my sister and I attended Page from the time we were two years old through middle school, and I have two cousins who attended--one is still a Page student. We received an excellent education. I am now an engineering student at Cal State Fullerton, my sister is in high school, and my cousin is in his first year at San Francisco State University. We have great memories of the years we spent at Page and have made lifelong friends, many of which we still have today. I'll never forget the middle school trip to Washington, DC where we teamed up with other schools and made friends with kids from other states. My sister always talks about her fourth grade trip to San Francisco and Sacramento, and we were both so lucky to go to AstroCamp and Catalina Camp in fifth and sixth grades. Page was a place to grow and learn in a safe and comfortable environment. I received an excellent education, and was well prepared when I went to high school. In my freshman year there were classmates who had no idea how to correctly write a research paper, and I felt ahead of the game. It is this foundation that I received at Page that has carried me through high school and now college. I am so thankful for that, and know that I will always have a home at Page. read more

I'm a former student who went to Page for a few years and am now in highschool, and I think it's very important for parents and potential students to know about my experience there. And my experience there was not the best. What really bothered me was the lack of students. There were only around 100 students at the school when I went, and about 7 per grade, which is completely unhealthy for a child socially. It's an extremely sheltering environment where I can't get the social skills I need later in life. Going from an environment with 7 children my age to over 400 at a public middle school within the span of a few months was almost traumatizing. I have almost no friends and lack total social skills because of I don't know how to actually interact with other people my age and because I spent my childhood with so few other children. Speaking with other former students, they feel the same. It was depressing to see such an accommodating campus filled with almost nobody. The boredom was almost painful. Since there were so few students, they combined chunks of grades into one class, which would all learn the same thing. When I was in 5th grade it was combined with 6th, who would learn the same math and science as we did, so the 6th grade was a full year behind on math/science. The science lab, pool and smart boards they talk about all the time were rarely used when I was there, but maybe that;s changed, I'm not sure. But my time at Page has left me incapable of social interaction, deathly afraid of other human beings, friendless and depressed, and without an adequate education. I wouldn't recommend. read more
