Teachers like Mrs turner and Mrs Sendenos (she remarried ) were such amazing people . Even though my kids left there a few years back I see the value in elementary schools. When mh daughter went to middle school in hayward she was actually more advanced then the kids here in Hayward . The pride that Glennmore puts on education is tremendous! This is a school I high recommend to parents! One thing I really enjoyed was all the parent involved activities , including sports they had for the kids . Also our basketball ball team kicked but ! Champions our year ! Haha the science camp trip for the kids was amazing and left an awesome impression on my two kids ! Now my cons. There's not much . Just the moms who don't got anything else to do and just be either Karen's or nosey and always have a damn opinion everything ! You tell them the sky is blue they damn for sure will argue with you and say it's lavender . And some of the dads there , can we say cucks! Grow a pair boys please ! I experienced this while at science camp with my kids ! My rating! The best . Minus the lame parents at times , most of the parents are cool AF !

Seems to be very male dominated and not a good environment for children. my daughters friends go here and they feel as if this private school is off putting and some teachers have no experience in teaching. play ground is really small, no room for kids to play and cafeteria even smaller. Great experience with smaller staff but head of school needs to change. very rude. they take all your money for no good outcome in your childs learning. cheap, rude and expensive they really get the parents with an experience they can't uphold. put your kids in a better school with better teachers, staff and curriculum and to the head of school 'wagner' do better.

If you're looking for academics, this is the place to be. The school offers Pre-Calculus in eighth…read moregrade for the people who are more skilled in math than other students.It also offers Economics which is a college level course in eighth grade the school is going to open a high school next year, but if you are interested in sending your kid here next year, read this review before you think about anything. First of all, this year, we had a temporary campus for a new campus that was still in construction. The quality was terrible. We could hear the construction from inside and when we were outside we were exposed to the dust that came from the construction it was a nightmare we also had to eat our lunch outside in the sun although they had picnic tables in PE was outside in the grass they gave many people many allergic reactions. And the grass had potholes. Many, many potholes. They have divided the MPR into five classrooms and it was really noisy. It was hard for any students there to focus at all. We were all desperately waiting for the new campus. Oh, and if you think that's bad enough, that was only this year. Last year, three teachers left the school midway two of them fired. And when they had to fire the first teacher they blamed it on the students at the school, even though they specified that they did not want the teacher fired, but they just wanted her to change her teaching habits in a way that would suit all of the students at the school. I mean, are the students not allowed to voice their concerns about the school and make it a better environment for the new students? And they're paying money to go to the school. Which brings me to my next point, the tuition. The year that the school opened, the tuition was twenty four thousand dollars. The tuition kept on increasing over the years, from twenty four thousand dollars to twenty five thousand dollars to twenty six thousand dollars and now twenty seven thousand dollars. The tuition has just been skyrocketing since the school opened. But there are upsides. And when I say upsides, I mean a lot of upsides. First of all, there are only 150 kids at the upper school. That gives teachers a lot more time to communicate with the students at the school and help them with any concepts that they do not understand. Teachers also have office hours after school to help students with any questions they may have. The teachers want the students to learn, and that's what makes this environment important. Everyone works together like one big happy family. The friendships that students make here are everlasting. If you make a friend one year, that friend will never leave your side and will always have your back. The students have such great memories of their past years, and they reminisce one their past experiences at the school. Overall, I would recommend the school for people who are committed to academics and don't care much about extracurricular activities. As BASIS grows there are more and more extracurricular activities that are emerging such as cross country basketball, volleyball, soccer, and flag football, as well as clubs that are offered by the school. Thanks for reading! Edit: After four amazing years, I have decided to transfer to another high school.

Additionally, we know how great of a school FCS is since my husband is a FCS Alumni and I was a substitute Teacher at the school for a year a while back. We thought that we would give public school a try, to save some money, and if we didn't like it or it didn't work out for our kids, we would re-evaluate our options.  This year when schools transitioned to distanced learning, due to COVID, our worlds were turned upside down, along with the rest of the world.  Our kids were struggling not being in the classroom and not being able to socialize with children their age, so when we heard that FCS was bringing back kids safely on campus we jumped on the opportunity to transfer them and have never once regretted that decision!  The Teachers, Principal and Staff at FCS have been AMAZING to say the least.  When we drove on campus to drop the kids off to school on their "first day" we immediately felt that our kids would be well taken care of, which was not a confident feeling for us at our previous school. The organization, care and seamless process to get the kids safely on and off of campus puts our minds at ease.  The Teachers do a wonderful job with communication and my kids immediately loved their new school and look forward to Chapel every week, which was also not an option at our previous school.  We appreciate and love our new FCS home and are so glad we transferred our kids to this school when we did. Thank you FCS!

I went to this school 35 years ago, and I still remember it! I remember the young boy who came into…read moreclass late every day after lunch/recess puffy faced and crying. And, I remember the shame, humiliation, and fear I felt as a sweet 5 year old who got sent to the principals office for a spanking because I pulled tiny leaves and twigs off a bush and lose on the floor to make a little nest for birdies. I still remember the girl who told on me for this "offense" and how I had to remain standing when the whole yard, maybe 100 kids sat down, after the yard duty blew her whistle to signal someone's (me) in trouble. Making me stand amongst all the sitting kids was to shame and humiliate me. I then remember a couple of teachers asking me how I would feel if someone plucked my limbs off as I did to the poor bushes. They then shuttled me to the principals office in which I had to stand in line of maybe 5 other kids who were before me to face the principal. Then, I saw the boy who showed up late puffy faced and teary eyed every day after lunch/recess, leave the principals office after obviously enduring some sort of physical punishment by the person in charge of this institution. Then it was my turn to enter into the principals office. I was alone with this person. I was shaking. This person pulled out the paddle that she must have used thousands of time before day after day after day. She told me if I ever break the limbs off another one of gods creation's again that I would be paddled, as she smacked it against her hand. I remember leaving the office and seeing my neighbor, also a teacher, who said hello to me. I avoided her for the rest of my time living in our home as I was worried she would share what I had done with my mom. Then every day since then, seeing the same boy who came late to class after lunch/recess every day hurt my heart so badly as I knew he was being beaten by a paddle every day. This is all I remember from my thankfully only one year at this place. I'm sure it's changed since then but wow what an awful mark it left on me and I'm sure so many others, especially that poor boy.

Both of my children--a 6-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl--spent two wonderful years at MSF. Our…read morejourney began when my son joined Ms. Angeline's class at 3.5 years old, after a disappointing experience at a chain private school. From the moment he started at MSF, we saw a remarkable difference. He was genuinely happy each day and looked forward to his "working time" at school. Ms. Angeline has a deep respect for each child as an individual. She nurtured our son's growth both academically and personally, helping him gain confidence in expressing his needs and tailoring projects to match his interests and developmental needs. The environment she created in the Evergreen B class was warm, engaging, and thoughtfully structured. Because of the incredible experience our son had, we decided to enroll our daughter at MSF as well. She joined Ms. June's class and also had a wonderful time. Coming from a full Chinese-speaking environment, the transition to an English-speaking classroom could have been challenging--but Ms. June, being bilingual, provided the perfect support. Our daughter was very shy at first, but Ms. June thoughtfully paired her with older, bilingual classmates and helped her adjust with care and patience. In less than half a year, school became her favorite place to be. We especially appreciated the school's community spirit and special events, such as International Week and Sharing Night, which brought families together and created lasting memories.

My son attended Montessori School of Fremont for two years before kindergarten, and based on our…read moreexperience, I would not recommend it to other families. My main concern was with his teacher. Over two years, I didn't see meaningful effort to teach or support my son. Instead, the feedback I received was that "your child is not suited for Montessori" -- which felt less like a thoughtful assessment and more like a way to avoid working with him. A Montessori environment is supposed to meet a child where they are; that wasn't our experience. I also found the administrative side of the school to be inflexible in a way that didn't feel parent-friendly. On one occasion in two years, I was ~1 minute late at pickup due to traffic and was charged a late fee. A one-time delay being treated the same as a chronic issue tells you something about the culture. Other parents may have had a different experience, and I'm sure some children thrive here. Ours did not, and I wanted to share an honest account for parents who are weighing this school.

Our daughter has grown up here, and as she moves over to the kindergarten side, we are genuinely sad to say "see you later" to the preschool staff who have loved and cared for her so well. From day one, we have felt incredibly lucky to have found such a warm, welcoming community. The teachers and staff are not only professional and attentive, they are truly kind, patient, and invested in each child. Our daughter is always excited to go to school, which says everything to me as a parent. One of the things we love most is how family-centered the school is. They do such a great job of bringing everyone together with fun, meaningful events throughout the year, some of our favorites: - The Hawaiian Back-to-School Dinner - Popsicles with POP, where the kids can worship, play, and of course enjoy popsicles - The fall festival - A beautiful Nativity during the holidays - Vacation Bible School (VBS) in the summer These events have helped us build real connections with other families and made the school feel like an extension of our home. We are so grateful for the love, care, and support our daughter has received here. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be nurtured, encouraged, and excited to learn, and where your whole family will feel welcome, I highly recommend POP!

My daughter stared as a kindergartener last year and is first grade this year. I never personally known previous principal Linda Anderson, but I know Mr. Ian Squibb as the principal there and he is the hardest working principal I have ever met! The school has grown a lot (especially 2016-2017 when 9 portables were added sending our numbers from 730s to 950s) due to the district overcrowding but what is amazing is that the admins handled it Oliveira community is still thriving. In fact, our PTA-sponsored movie nights and school dance party were off the hook and the kids had so much fun! I really appreciate all the resources that are there available to the families and students. The teachers are responsive as well as the administrators, and joining the PTA has also helped me to find a real community of kindred spirits who value their children's education and is willing to take action to make improvements. My response to the anonymous post about the individual classroom is that if you have issues, please just approach the teacher or administrator instead of complaining behind their back. It isn't fair to give the school two stars just because a teacher didn't smile enough to one's liking. I don't know all the teachers there but I have met many and they are very dedicated and motivated to work with parents to help create an environment where your kids thrive.
