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. I'd highly recommend picking any other school in San Clemente over this one. Best of luck if you send your kids here.

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 did little to remedy the situation even after we had this documented in a police report and they decided to keep the other student at the school.

The pace is chill, there's a disciplined, not regimented, routine with plenty of "non-surfing", wholesome fun (projected movies, games, guitars, skit and talent shows, in the lounge tent). You don't need to have any experience surfing, or you can be a shredder. There's always instructors in the water that are willing to coach you or you can be left to your own talents/whims and do your own thing. They bring the boards as well as lunch all the way down to the beach for the kids and instructors to enjoy (it's a bit of a walk to get down there and I assume it's easier and more convenient to bring the lunch and gear to them). The boards provided are just fine. My son had his own wetsuit and booties so I can't comment on the wetsuits. I grew up in Southern California but we live In Austin, TX. I only mention this because we can't surf in the middle of Texas (generally)! Meaning, zero experience is ok here. There's no pressure to be the best, but there's definitely pressure to have a great time! And they do! The Camp Manager, Bart, is a fantastic guy from Australia that my son loves. He and his team of chill "Counselors" keep a chill vibe that makes this great thing happen. Kudos to Jason and his entire team surf/kid enthusiasts. This camp came at a critical point in my sons life and it made him a better young man. Thank you, Sincerely! Sky and Shai

In a week of trying in pretty heavy conditions for a beginner and this time of year I never once felt unsafe or unprepared thanks to excellent instruction and help getting that big 9' board out and getting a big shove to catch each wave. I had only boogie boarded before and swam some in the ocean. And the last time I was on a boogie board was maybe twenty years prior. I'm now hooked and shopping for a board. Ethan was my constant coach. We had a small class so the coach/instructor to student was nearly one to one. Everyone on the staff were encouraging and really a pleasure to be around. All the campers were great to meet and talk with, laugh and surf. Great fun. I plan on attending every year. And surfing as much as I can fit in every week.

The director Joan Lundbohm is the reason I chose to leave my previous school to teach under her as my director. She has so much experience and knowledge in early childhood. Joan is an amazing leader and boss. It has been a privilege and a blessing to work with her. The entire staff at Our Savior's works so well together. We work as a team and it really is a beautiful thing. I am supported by all of the staff every single day. This team truly loves what we do! I felt so welcomed by all of the families when starting the school year! The families at Our Savior's are THE most caring, kind and compassionate families I know. They welcomed me with open arms and it truly meant so much. I highly recommend Our Savior's to not only be your preschool but to become your community. It takes a village to raise your children and Our Savior's should be a part of YOUR village! When you walk on this campus you feel Christ's love. The Holy Spirit is moving on this campus!!!

I was a little worried about how she would adjust since she'd been home with me the entire time but they cared for her so well and now at almost 17 months she's comfortable to the extent I usually have to convince her to come home and that we'll be back the next day. Within the first month, she adjusted pretty well, learnt how to nap independently, started walking, became comfortable around other people, and now her language is expanding and she is learning new words every day. She can eat independently too with hands and even with a spoon and fork. I'm really impressed with her growth. I appreciate their curriculum, they are structured, they have art, playtime both inside and outside, and a fun summer program keeping the kids engaged and experiencing new things. All the teachers are so kind, warm and caring and you can see it in the faces of the other children. This was actually our decision point to bring our child here, when we did the tour the kids were so happy and just being kids playing. This sealed the deal for us. Thank you Ms. Lily for running this place the way you do and creating a loving and nurturing environment for our children.

The teachers are patient and kind and Miss Lily plans tons of activities each week. Our son has blossomed just by engaging in peer-to-peer programs. They are great about providing daily feedback on food, mood, and any challenges. Also, the schools hours are so accommodating for our dual-working parent household. He's transitioned to the next room so smoothly: ie. Group lunch and naps. The playground and garden are some of his favorite places to frequent. Even their holiday programs are so wonderful. It's a great community of teachers and families. We feel so lucky to be a part of the LTM family!
