The school itself backs up to a wonderful park and has been recently earthquake retrofitted. They also installed gates to keep the bad guys out and the students in. At first, I really didn't like the gates because it did make the school look a little like an institution, but I get the reason why they did it. The teachers are WONDERFUL and all are invested in the students education. No wonder people move to Castro Valley! There are young energetic teachers and also older ones that are just as fabulous! The principle, Mrs. Hoops, is also very involved and opens her door to parents and students alike with sensitivity and sensibility! This is a GREAT school all-in-all!

Through your patience, guidance, and dedication, you helped shape Lily into the confident, smart, kind, and resilient young girl she is today. You celebrated every milestone, encouraged her through challenges, and always made her feel safe, valued, and loved. As parents, we say goodbye with tears in our eyes but full hearts, knowing she is ready for the big world ahead because of the foundation you helped build. The lessons, confidence, and values you instilled in her will stay with her for years to come. Thank you for loving our girl and helping her become the amazing person she is today. We will forever be grateful for the impact you have had on her life and our family. Tearfully, but knowing she's ready for her next adventure--Lily is signing out. Thank you for everything.

It went from name calling(vocabulary I didn't know kids that age had) to physical. The teacher, principle and yard duty supervisors have been made aware of the situation MULTIPLE times and NOTHING has been done to correct the situation. The principal claims to be doing all she can but does not say what and nothing shows. Most recently it escalated to these kids using my sons friends to set him up to get jumped with one of them pushing him down and putting his knee on my son's back and then stomach, making it hard for him to breath. I don't know what is going on at this school but it is a joke, not a single kid has been suspended or expelled and the principal always claims to be too busy to speak to my wife.

Not only do they emphasize academic progress, they also balance the curriculum out with fun, play, music, foreign language (Spanish) and teach to make sure the students become well rounded citizens of the Earth. The student body is already very well diversified! The school is very well organized under the school principal Ms. Kaya. Staff of whom we have interacted with are extremely nice and responsive to any concerns. Tuition is one of the most reasonable you can find in the whole Bay Area, the value each student get is tremendous! The tuition even includes extended care which in already pays for itself! Especially for busy family with both full time working parents. Public schools usually ends around 2:30, but your tuition includes extended care until 6:00! I think my husband and I are both in awe, every month, on how little we are paying for a "private school" education. In fact the tuition is very similar to our local public schools after school program, and that program was suppose to already run by a registered non profit organization! Our family is extremely grateful that we have found this school. And grateful for all the teachers and staff our children have had so far. Big shout out to Ms. Mary (which my children talk about everyday, even if they have already moved on from her class), Ms Divine, and Ms. Contreras. Special thanks to all the administrative staff: Ms. Maria, Ms. Hernandez, Mr. Hawkins, Ms. Mary-Ann and countless others! I am surprised that not more people know about this hidden gem! Maybe the parents of students going to the school wants it to stay that way! The way we found out about this school was a referral by our friend. I heard that the Union City campus is already at full capacity every grade and is baffled why the CV campus is not yet. But don't take my word for it! Contact the school and take a tour yourself. You don't know what your kids are missing!
