The curriculum is academically rigorous and also focuses on nurturing a culture of curiosity and thinking; inspiring a love of learning; modeling kindness, empathy and good global citizenship; and teaching emotional recognition, regulation and problem solving. My daughter loves her teachers and classmates and looks forward to going to school every day! Our principal, Andrea Sleet, is as warm and compassionate as she is devoted to her students' learning, safety and emotional wellbeing. She is deeply engaged with students, teachers, staff and families by greeting students as they arrive each day, regularly visiting classrooms, hosting principal coffee meetings and a book club with parents, and attending all PTA meetings and school events. She is a celebrity on campus and the students adore her. The community at Del Mar Hills is friendly and inclusive and the PTA sponsors many events throughout the year to provide opportunities for students and their families to gather (e.g. an ice cream social, Halloween Spooktacular, world festival, and the family carnival). Fourth through sixth grade students are deeply involved in these events and are encouraged to create and oversee games, as well as to construct and guide students through an impressive haunted house at our Halloween Spooktacular. My preschool-age child also receives special education services through Del Mar Hills and has made tremendous progress in her speech production and articulation. We feel so supported by the teachers, staff and families at Del Mar Hills Elementary and are so fortunate to be a part of the SurfRider community.

    I have already posted a review about Cal Coast Academy ("CCA"); mentioning that this school has…read morebeen life changing for my 13 year old son. However, to provide a further update since I wrote that last review, Jan Dunning, Founder and Principal, Haile Brooke, Vice Principal, and all of the staff and teachers, including Emmy Ibrahimovic, have impressed me even more. My son is going through a time of self-adjustment, and it was decided he would take a temporary leave of absence from in-person attendance. Within two days off this decision, my son's amazing educational team at CCA was on the ball, making sure he has everything he needs to continue with his school work, including ongoing Zoom lessons with his teachers, during his absence from the campus. I cannot tell you the relief we have knowing that our son's top rate CCA education will continue during these next few months, when he is not able to attend school in person. I continue to take great comfort in the fact that my son's education, happiness and future are tied in so many ways to our CCA family.

The school is incredibly accommodating and flexible when it comes to our son's education, and we could not be any more grateful to CCA!

He is a good student but high-functioning autistic. He is quirky. Not violent or disruptive. Our teen was bullied, but the school did nothing. The school called the police on him over an "anonymous" accusation that was unreasonable and false. Being different at CCHS made him an easy target by students and enough reason for admin to dismiss him. No compassion. The Learning Center is just a study hall. Unqualified and unsupportive staff. One confused our son causing him to fail to sign up for extra time for his final. BTW, extra time was a pre-approved accommodation for all tests. He went from an A to C in that class. Teacher nor staff did anything to right this wrong. Our kid lost out on AP Physics and Comp Sci exams and Calculus because his new public school does not offer those classes. CCHS was a waste of money.

I didn't graduate from Cathedral because I switched schools to…read moreattempt to get an easier admission to a local college by being within the SDSU school district zone of admission (CCHS is out of that zone). The facilities of course are amazing, and they should be for the cost of tuition. I'm happy to say that I survived the Catholic school experience from 1st grade all the way to 11th, I am thankfully not indoctrinated into the Catholic faith. I am 32 now and a satanist (the satanic temple, which is a non-theistic religious organization. No, we don't worship the devil because they do not exist). As for my experience: all high school experience differ, but for the most part I think many struggle in high school. I was not from a wealthy family, and being surrounded by students whose parents were wealthy beyond my 15 year old comprehension was difficult in ways that might sound ridiculous. It wasn't the other student's fault, the class system is systemic and I was not in poverty (nobody going to CCHS is in poverty). I remember feeling singled out many times because of my uniform not being just right, but I couldn't afford to hem it. I'm not sure if it's the same now, but in the early '00s there was a rotating block schedule. Red days and Gold days, 123 and 456. Complicated, but that was one of the better aspects of the school overall in my opinion, it was to prepare us for college, I think? The worst part of my experience at this school was simply my unwillingness to accept benign answers to questions about religion that my teachers didn't know how to answer. If you're being forced as an adolescent to learn about a religion, it is not acceptable to make that student feel like a problem when they ask questions or criticize the religion they're being forced to "practice". I was also bullied pretty viciously for a period of time, but I don't think I can blame the school for a peer-to-peer problem. My biggest concern: I was a student here during a time when using certain words to describe something that's "dumb" or "stupid" or "annoying" would be considered a hate crime today.. it was completely normal. There were VERY few minorities in my class of over a thousand students. I cannot imagine what being a student in an environment like that must be like today. Where any questions of gender, romantic preference, or religious differences are seen as a hindrance to the overall organism that is a catholic high school. I truly hope that has changed, but I have serious doubts that it has. Upsides: the theatre program was amazing, and choices of elective classes were really cool, stuff like media class (which i took) where I learned that music production was a passion of mine, as well as access to VERY expensive camera and audio equipment that we were allowed to take home and bring back. Again though, for the cost of tuition, this is expected. Having swim be an option for P.E. class was pretty cool in my opinion, minus the smell of chlorine in my hair for the rest of the day depending on which day it way (rotating block schedule, again). Extreme Downsides: religious trauma. I drank at school, along with many other students who used substances (the kind I couldn't afford, some might say it's ski-slope related), despite there being spontaneous drug dogs that would come. I had friends with severe eating disorders. Lunch was not free, and although the options at the outdoor lunch shop were wide and diverse, many days I just didn't eat because unlike other students, I couldn't afford lunch (was bullied for this, too). It's not the student's choice where they go to school for the most part, but if you're a parent reading this, please please please spare your child the difficulty of the Cathedral Catholic experience. Do Montessori instead if you've got the money and want to skirt public school for whatever reason (I understand there ARE serious reasons to not want public school for your child). Two stars because some of the teachers were subversive and amazing, although they didn't last long because of it, plus the facilities were brand new and really great. I made it out and am now a functioning adult living in San Francisco with my partner of 10 years, as a socialist and satanist, factor that in as you'd like to. ‍ if you care about your child's long term mental health, maybe don't send them here.

They are encouraged to feed their curiosity by taking a genuine interest in their schoolwork. The staff at Sea Change are incredible. They dedicate their one-on-one time with each student so that they can learn to think critically, ask questions that are challenging, and self advocate. The staff are actively involved in the student's progress, getting them ready for college, and ultimately seeing them off to their dream school. In addition to the rigorous, college preparatory academics, the students at Sea Change are forced to explore their physical abilities in the ocean. The students are all part of an open-ocean swim team where they swim miles in the ocean before school starts. Not only does this boost the confidence of these young people AND allow them to apply their mindfulness to nature, it also raises their productivity levels throughout the day. Sea Change kids swim up and down the coast of California, setting world records, and becoming wiser individuals as a result.

I felt welcomed, understood in my desire to find something different for my daughter and quite frankly super intrigued to know everything about this school! When it comes to your kids, you research to the ends of the earth to be sure you are making the right moves with them. We didn't leave any stone unturned when it came to Sea Change and I can say without a doubt that there is ZERO validity to the statements made in the ONE previous negative review. The response from the Board shows how this school handles business and the character they instill in your children to handle tough issues that may be thrown at them in life. I have spent a lot of time with the students, the staff and at the facility learning about all that Sea Change has to offer and I have never seen my daughter happier than the first day I took her to see her new school. Permanent smile. Education is not one size fits all. Parents owe it to their kids to give them the very best and I am so fulfilled knowing I am doing just that in sending mine to Sea Change Prep.
