This is our second year at Revo and we are extremely happy with our choice. My now 8 year old spent a couple of years in the neighborhood public school but was left unchallenged and bored. The transition to revo was smooth--she has been very happy with her classmates. The kids are lovely and the environment is nurturing. It is easy for kids to feel supported and thrive in the environment. Class sizes were small but have been getting larger. The teachers are phenomenal, the administrators are very involved. I was particularly impressed with the science curriculum in 4th grade this year--students were exposed to concepts such as energy, light, structure of the eye, illusions, and eye disorders in a seamless manner. My daughter has suddenly developed a keen interest in all things science and biology. The school is a gem! read more

It's a great school for any kids! Challenge each student according to their own ability and let them achieve their best! I have 3 kids there! They all appreciate Revo which does teach them things! And challenge them individually! Love it! If you want your kids to learn not a baby sitter then Revo is the best choose. read more

Revo Academy - Social connections - Elementary Schools Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

REVO is amazing! We tried public school and private school, but our daughter was not challenged, and the recess time looked more like Lord of the Flies than a time to socialize and play. REVO actually goes to each child's ability. They help kids grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally. I could go on and on. We couldn't imagine putting our kids in any other school. read more

We started at Revo in September 2020. My son was a shy little boy who was nervous around new situations. We absolutely love Mrs. Dodos so much. She has truly transformed our son into a confident funny outspoken child. He loves school. The enrichment program are so good. My 6 year old did chess and golf. I have nothing but great things to also stop about the entire faculty. Everyone has the best interest of my son always. read more

My child is thriving at Revo. He loves the academic rigor and engaging projects. The curriculum is wide-ranging. Students build deep knowledge in every subject area. There is no busy work at this school! Revo offers excellent electives such as music, art, and Latin. The teachers at Revo are enthusiastic, kind and caring. They know just how to motivate gifted learners. We are so grateful we found this gem of a school for our son! read more

What an amazing place! My child is supported and challenged, with attention to his learning style and interests. We wish we'd found it earlier, but we've made up quickly for lost time. The level of activities is well beyond what he would be getting in public school, yet he never feels overwhelmed, only excited about learning. We love Revo! read more

We are very fortunate to have a teacher like Mrs. Dodos in our community and our lives. She goes above and beyond with each of her students and has the patience of an Angel! The entire Revo staff and community could not be more hand on and helpful every step of the way in our Childs life and development. read more

After being disappointed by a private school which was not able to provide challenging material for my son, I am thrilled by the high level of deep learning at Revo. It is such a relief to know that he is provided with out-of-the-box math problems, engaging discussions, nuanced instruction, and the independence to chose projects that kindles his love of learning. The small classes and thoughtful, encouraging teachers allow students to grow and thrive. The opportunity to be CEO for the week and make a presentation to the school is an amazing experience for students to learn leadership. Being with like-minded peers and receiving social-emotional learning allows my son to grow socially as well. He is enthusiastic about what he does each day and I am so grateful to have found such an incredible school! read more

Revo Academy is the best school in the area for children who are gifted and require much more advanced and challenging academics. It has a great program to keep students engaged and allows them to be themselves. They nurture the students abilities and encourage them to challenge themselves to reach the best of their abilities and intellectual growth. We love Revo Academy! read more

I never dreamed there was a school this cool. My child needed more than the local public school could offer. They tried to provide a more challenging atmosphere but what they can do for one child is limited. My son would come home and we would ask about his day and the highlight would be something that happened in after school care. Now every night we engage in what happened at school and he lights up telling about how he discovered a topic that is interesting. Revo challenges children to use their minds and engage in the process of learning. While this school is sometimes referred to as a place for "gifted" children it's more about children who are naturally curious and have an appetite for learning. While there is a cost associated to this school, having been in it for a few months, I would easily say the value is worth double the cost. The after school programs are amazing too. There is a great family feel to the program meaning that many of the parents interact inside and outside of school activities. I can not think of a better investment for my children than what we get at Revo. read more

Revo is the epitome of a nurturing environment that fosters learning, a genuine love for knowledge, with a deep consideration for social and emotional learning. From the moment you meet the teachers and staff, you can see their commitment to fostering individuality, creativity, and curiosity; all with a deep understanding of a gifted child's unique needs. The administration, teachers and staff have taken great strides to truly understand who my child is and his unique needs. The curriculum is tailored to challenge students, with emphasis on critical thinking, communication, problem-solving and community. Revo does an incredible job of differentiating instruction for my child, who performs at great level in some subjects and a year past grade level in others. Beyond academics, Revo offers enriching extracurricular activities (both during the school day and after school). The sense of community at Revo is unparalleled. Parents, teachers and students come together to celebrate cultures, achievements, and create lasting memories. As parents, we couldn't be more grateful for the relationships built and positive impacts Revo has had on our child and our family. If you're seeking a gifted-education school that values excellence, innovation, purpose and individuality, you'll find the perfect fit at Revo Academy. read more

Revo's been an extraordinary experience for my children (current 4th and Kinder). We've been at Revo 2 years now and the joy my children get from going to a school that challenges them, and keeps them engaged is off the charts. The families are all great and the teachers even better. Keep it up Revo! read more

I found Revo via word of mouth, and what a blessing it was. My son has always been introverted, shy, but very bright. In his second year at Revo he is more confident, outgoing, curious, and most importantly, excited to go to school. I cannot say enough about the incredible teaching staff and female-run founders that truly care about each child and making sure they thrive! read more

Our child is in public school but has a learning style that does not match very well with the teaching method they use at his school. The school has been very helpful to adapt as much as possible but it has been challenging for parents, child, and teacher to try to couple different things together. He likes school but most of his learning is done after school. Therefore, we attended a school tour at Revo Academy in late October 2016 to determine if they offered a closer match. Revo Academy is one of many schools we have toured in October. The school presentation at the beginning of the tour was simple but effective in comparison because it was immediately clear they have expertise in gifted education. The school grounds are pleasant and the passion and caring of the teachers is recognizable during the tour. Although the school is far from where we live and we didn't really notice a "wow" factor at the time, we felt there were enough impressive qualities about the school to apply and ask to let our child attend a shadow day. The shadow day is where the "wow" factor kicked in. When we walked him into the classroom and watched him explore the room it suddenly "clicked" on us that the environment is setup exactly the way he studies on his own at home. We missed it without him with us for context, but now the little things we missed on the tour were immediately noticed by our child. He literally had his mouth open like he couldn't believe this was going to be a school day. The teacher and other students immediately made him feel welcomed. We knew he would enjoy his day at school... We picked him up from shadow day and we saw that for the first time he was academically satisfied after a day at school. He reviewed a few things when he got home, for example, the speed of light and the mass of the sun and plugged it into his equation, but it was totally different than we have experienced. We could almost see his brain happily connecting and sorting information instead of thirsting for it. This is our first glimpse of relief after we discovered we are in this group of learners. read more

Revo Academy - At home, after shadow day - Elementary Schools Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

We have trialed Revo kindergarten last year, and my daughter immediately fell in love. We started out the year somewhere else due to a number of family circumstances, and ended up switching mid-year to come back to Revo. Those of you who have had the opposite experience will know what it's worth to see your child happy and engaged at the end of the school day, excited to come back and actually talking about all the exciting things she did that day. To know that your child is both academically and socially happy, to see the lengths to which the staff goes to make the children comfortable and confident is incredible. I did not realize how difficult it would be to find a happy place for an intellectually curious child to thrive, but it looks like Revo is it! read more

Revo Academy is revolutionizing education for gifted children k-8. It is more than a slogan. For the first time, my kids are happy in school, reaching their potential, and honored for their strengths. They are surrounded by other kids as curious as they are. The teachers are spectacular and the curricula is designed to keep kids challenged while retrofitting any areas of tenderness. A school like this was long over due in our area. Thank you to the Revo leadership team for opening this school and creating a home for these bright, inquisitive kids. Mom of a 1st and 4th Grader read more

We moved our daughter to Revo Academy last fall after she was complaining of boredom at public school. We are so happy that we've made the decision! She fit right into it and loves to going to school everyday. Her teacher Ms. Schroeder never cease to encourage and challenge the children with her boundless enthusiasm for learning & genuine love for these little ones. Every teacher and staff member knows every single child at school. For us, it was not about her learning math or English in higher grade level (though she is afvanced, like everyone at this school). It was about challenging herself and keeping her love of learning, while still beeing able to fit in with the other kids. I would recommend Revo to any parent who has the same wish as ours. read more

Excellent school for high-ability and gifted learners. I simply love this school, it gives children an environment where they can thrive, become more confident and creative and have a great time while doing it. Come check it out! read more

This is a great school! My children have learned so much there. My second grader did a presentation on the famous double slit experiment! The spelling words my kids bring home are impressive and I love the hands on work they get to do in class. They also get to do many fields trips to see how the knowledge they learn applies in the real world. Overall I'm very pleased with the education they're receiving. read more

We started at Revo in kindergarten and our son is now in 2nd grade. We knew early on that he was going to need a challenging environment where the staff would work to understand him and the different way his brain works. The teachers are incredibly engaged and always work hard to meet each child's unique needs. Challenging and fun curriculum. We have been very happy! read more

We feel so fortunate to have found Revo for our daughter in the 2nd grade. She is able to learn and grow at the pace that is right for her. She is thriving on the challenges that are appropriately presented to her, versus sitting back in class and waiting for other students to catch up. We were unsure how things may go given this was a new school being opened. The leap of faith paid off. Tamy and Niyome have done an incredible job creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere for the students. In addition, the teachers have done an excellent job engaging with students by presenting the material in unique and creative ways. My daughter loves going to school. Thank you Revo!! read more

We are thrilled to have our son at Revo. We finally found a school that meets his needs! The teachers are warm and accessible and totally committed. We highly recommend Revo! read more

We absolutely love Revo Academy. More importantly, our child loves Revo Academy. We moved him to Revo Academy in the middle of the school year because he was bored and not being challenged in the public school system. His transition was seamless. He is excited to go to school every day. We love that the program is very hands on learning. He is constantly being challenged and being taught how to think out-of-the-box. The teachers and administrators are amazing. They are very passionate about their jobs. You can tell that they are at the school because they want to be not because they have to be. I highly recommend Revo academy to any parent. read more

We cannot recommend this school highly enough. Our child was attending a very highly rated public school but wasn't being challenged. We are so happy to have found Revo! Here our child is thriving, inspired to learn, and has made many great friends. The learning environment is challenging but nurturing. Our kid absolutely loves going to school everyday. Such a night and day difference! read more

The mark of an excellent school is not necessarily its size, but the quality of its faculty and educational approach. Along that line, some of the finest schools I have visited have been schools on the smaller side with a progressive educational approach and faculty that have experience in the field of education. As a parent and an educational advocate, I visit schools to find the right fit for not only my own children, but also other people's children. Regrettably, after visiting and researching Revo Academy, it is not in the same league as these fine and reputable schools. The location of the school is difficult to find, as there is little signage. Furthermore, because the building is part of a temple, it is unclear where the school is located. Upon arriving for my scheduled school tour, the owner, Ms. Bello, seemed preoccupied and not prepared for my visit. Additionally, my tour was not just for me. Another family was also scheduled at the same time. Multiple family tours create less of a personalized experience. Red flag #1. The owner greeted us, but it was very apparent that she had no experience in the field of admissions. Additionally, there was no intake information or form to complete, which is unusual for school tours. Red flag #2. As we began our tour of the school, a teacher from the school came up to us, but didn't acknowledge our presence. She immediately began speaking with the owner and they both began a very heated discussion in front of us. This was extremely uncomfortable and very unprofessional in my opinion. Red flag #3. After the heated discussion the tour resumed. The classrooms were good size, but did look a bit worn. One of the classrooms was a bit messy, but you could see some of the students were engaged. In another classroom, we walked in and one of the teachers was on her phone while the students were working on an assignment. It seemed a bit odd that the teacher was focused on her phone during class time. Red flag #4. The classroom ratio was small, which can be a great benefit for children. I counted an average of 6 students in a classroom. The owner explained that they were a high achieving/gifted school. She said they use a gifted curriculum, and offer co-curricular options. I asked her what the pedagogy was of the school, and she stumbled through the answer. Again, she did not seem equipped to take families on tours. Red flag #5. After the tour we asked questions and that concluded the tour. After my tour there was no follow up from the school. Red flag #6. * This school is NOT accredited. This means that the owner is the only one making decisions about the school and there is no neutral agency holding the school accountable. Red flag #7. * This school offers no tuition insurance so if a family has to leave for any reason, they are responsible for the full tuition. All reputable private schools offer tuition insurance. Red flag #8. * This school is new and has been in business less than two years. Newer schools go through multiple transitions and have a higher rate of closing. I would not recommend attending any school that has been in business less than 5 years. Red flag #9 * The owner(s) of the school has very little experience in education. The owner that took us on a tour, had only 2 years of teaching experience and NO experience in administration. This means the school is running with an inexperienced Principal/Head of School. Red flag #10. * After doing research, this school is a for profit school. I am not against for profit schools, but a for profit school with inexperienced owners, is a HUGE RED FLAG. Most for profit schools are owned by large investment groups AND/OR are accredited. Red flag #11. * The school is leasing space in an area where a K-8 school is not permitted. This isn't a huge issue, unless the county finds out. If that is the case, the school can be shut down immediately. Proceed with caution. Red flag #12. Visiting Revo Academy was certainly an experience to remember, but one that I never will repeat, and would not recommend to anyone else. My biggest concern is that no one at this school really knows how to run a school. I felt there was a "smoke and mirrors" approach going on at this school. If you are tempted by the allure or promise of this private school, you are be better off finding a more reputable school that has a track record and is accredited. I would proceed with extreme caution or give this school another three years (and accreditation) before engaging. read more

We feel very positive about Revo Academy. The welcoming classroom and their educational philosophy is on point. The Toddler program builds confidence, fosters age-appropriate social interaction, and provides a wonderful educational foundation setting the tone for further educational pursuits. We are very glad we chose Revo Academy for our kid and would definitely recommend this school to anyone! read more

We are so very happy at Revo Academy. My oldest son is in 1st grade, and my middle son is joining the K class next year. My youngest boy is eager to go there as well - but he's too little! Revo is a school that gets the way gifted kids learn. The teachers see what each kid needs specifically and appreciate each student's uniqueness. The students really benefit from the gifted curriculum and project-based learning. My son loved to learn, but in his own way, and got frustrated with the pace of typical school. Revo's teachers are so passionate about finding engaging, outside of the box ways to teach their eager students. The student go deeper into the subjects - which is what gifted kids crave! My son is happy and excited by school now. Today, I heard my 6-year old giving me all his opinions and thoughts on women during the revolutionary war... He was inspired by a guest speaker! There is also a strong emphasis on helping the local community. The school really believes that these kids have the ability to change the world, and that idea is ingrained in their studies. The school is advanced and lots of fun here. It is worth driving from the valley because it is such a special place. read more
