The biggest thing we notice at OLF is that the teachers are energized and not burned out like other schools. Our kids enjoy going to school here and love everything about it. It has made our transfer very seamless. The beautiful campus overlooking the ocean is a nice treat as well.

We couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience at this small private Catholic school. What…read moretruly sets it apart is the sense of community. Because of its size, every teacher genuinely knows each student--not just academically, but personally--and it's clear how deeply they care about each child's growth and well-being. The academic standards are excellent, and students are consistently challenged and supported. Beyond academics, there is a strong emphasis on moral character, faith, and being a kind, responsible citizen within the community. Those values are woven into everyday learning, not just taught as a separate lesson. The administrative staff greet every student by name each morning, creating a warm and welcoming environment that makes children feel seen and valued from the moment they walk through the door. Parent involvement is encouraged and truly appreciated, which further strengthens the school community. We feel grateful to be part of a school where education, faith, and character are so thoughtfully balanced. It has been a wonderful place for our daughter to learn, grow, and thrive.

The school playground at lunch time and recess is like something out of a prison movie. Bullying, fights, weapons, this school has it all and does nothing about it.

Choosing San Clemente Christian School has been one of the best decisions we've made for our…read morefamily. Our daughter has been a student here for three years now, and the transformation we have witnessed is nothing short of amazing. We've seen her confidence soar and her academic skills sharpen, but the most rewarding part has been watching her faith and understanding of the Bible deepen. It is clear that the passionate teachers and staff are not just educators; they are mentors who lead with their hearts and a shared faith foundation. A few things that really set SCCS apart for us: * Small Class Sizes: The individualized attention our daughter receives has been so good for her growth. * Safety & Security: We have peace of mind every single day knowing the SCCS team fosters such a safe and secure environment. * The Community: The social opportunities for both students and parents are incredible. It's a place where family values are celebrated, and we've built lasting friendships with other families who share our values. If you are looking for a Christian school in San Clemente that feels like an extension of your home and community, we cannot recommend SCCS enough. It provides the perfect balance of a curriculum and a supportive, faith-filled community that truly prepares our kiddos for the future.

My daughter is really good with people and I attribute that to the exposure of all the different teachers, students, and various programs they offer. It is also a great faith based community that comes together to help each other. It is a Catholic school with good discipline but they educate the children on all religions which I truly think is exceptional and they are open minded. They have lots of extracurricular activates, tutors, and reading groups to help the children build confidence speaking in front of others, improve reading speeds, and so much more. I had my child tested through the public school and they suggested keeping her at this school that she is thriving there. Thank you Saint Anne's for taking such good care of our children.

Like many parents, I read the reviews before enrolling my son at St. Anne's, and I'll admit, I was…read morehesitant. Some of the concerns raised gave me pause. But as we near the end of our third year (currently finishing 4th grade), I feel compelled to share our experience because I'm genuinely glad we chose this school. No school is perfect, and yes, we've had our challenges here and there. But overall, St. Anne's does an outstanding job across many levels. My son is not only thriving academically, he's also genuinely happy. The school strikes a wonderful balance between being firm and structured, while maintaining a warm, positive environment where kids are encouraged and challenged to grow. One of the highlights for us has been the next-level extracurricular offerings and the way St. Anne's integrates experiential learning in every grade level. These hands-on experiences really resonate with the kids and make learning more fun and meaningful. Our first year was a bit rocky, while St. Anne's is a private school and doesn't follow public school IEP protocols, the principal at the time (Mrs. Bournazian) went above and beyond to work with his teacher and me to put support systems in place to help him suceed. When she became Head of School, I was a little nervous that our dynamic might shift, but the transition has been seamless and honestly, the school has continued to flourish under her leadership. We still feel incredibly supported by both the administration and teachers. Speaking of teachers, we've been very fortunate. Each year, my son has had passionate, caring educators who are truly invested in their students' growth. I've heard some concerns among parents about staff turnover, but having experienced two other schools (one public and another well-known private school in OC), I can say this is fairly typical. Teachers move on for all kinds of reasons, what matters more is the consistency of care, and we've always felt that here. With the exception of one long term sub that was not ideal, we've had outstanding teachers from 2nd to 4th grade. The music program is beyond impressive, Mr. Yaple works wonderfully with kids of all ages. Same for the arts program, the school puts on a more professional production than some theater houses in LA. This is a school that provides the opportunity for all kinds of kids to thrive. Socially, like many schools, St. Anne's can feel a bit cliquey at times, but we've also met some truly amazing families, and my son has built wonderful friendships. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend St. Anne's. I'm grateful we ignored the negative reviews and gave it a chance.
