There is a phrase that gets overused these days but is no less true in this instance: Game Changer…read more This school has been an absolute game changer for our family. We started with the preschool (which I encourage any family to try) and fell in love with the educational philosophy, the classmates and their families, the campus, and what our own family has become. If you are looking for a preschool stop your search now, it's absolutely wonderful. Continuing into grade school might be something to evaluate, but the preschool is a no-brainer.

I brought my children to Live Oak 20 years ago, moving to the foothills from Davis where my oldest…read morehad attended Davis Waldorf. She entered 3rd grade, my son started Kindergarten, and my littles were still... little. Since then, all four of my children graduated from Live Oak and have moved on to become heart-centered, insightful, intelligent adults. Through family ups and downs (including the loss of my husband), the Live Oak community has been the solid rock under our feet. In fact, my children often remark when they think of "home" or their "home town," they think of Live Oak Waldorf School.

My child getting hurt, bee sting at one point and no call, when talked to office no one know anything, get the run around excuses.

So am not the only parent having issues When address these issues all staff including superintendent lacks consers they seem to say, first time I've heard, yet I've seen and myself complaining of issues to be addressed. Schools are not like they us to be. Sad to say I'll be pull my kid out of this school and getting home school instead.

Love the pine trees!…read more This is my second time to watch an SYF game in this school. It's the Colfax Jr Falcons vs Liberty Ranch Jr Hawks playing this Saturday. This review is for the Robert O. Marson Field. The school colors are green and white. There are bleacher seating on both sides (home and visitor side) but smaller scale than I've seen compared to other schools. The field is beautiful, has real turf grass and surrounded by pine trees all around. It's so green and pretty. The field is located behind the school. Actually, the whole school is encircled in beautiful, tall pine trees. The officials were provided a tent, which is nice. The weather calls for a highs 88 degrees today and it's good that the referees are able to take some break under a shaded canopy in between games. They have a nice sound system, clearly heard across the field. I thought it was cool that the officials' full names were mentioned during the game prior to playing of the National Anthem.

Just went here for the 2008 graduation…read more Matt's daughter was there, and she made valedictorian... congrats on that, sir!! And perfect attendance for four years? Damn... she's good! The graduation was LONG. 200 students names, goals, and fondest memories were read off by two ladies who were very good at reading and speaking, I was impressed by them. The audio set up was pretty sad... (my best friends are audio majors, my roommate a dj) so the sound quality was lacking and I couldn't help but notice. They didn't have fireworks or a big projection screen like my high school... but I really liked the personal attention given to each student. Yeah, it was hard to sit through, but I found it interesting. Teachers ran up and gave their students hugs as they received their diplomas. I'm impressed with the connections they had with each student... and I think my cousin was lucky to go here. After all, fancy graduations are not as important as a quality education in a healthy caring environment. Only one question... whats with everyone wanting to be a CHP officer when they grow up? Uhhh... Don't speed around here in a few years. Congrats to the class of 08'. Specifically my cousin!

I came across SVA (Squaw Valley Acady) while researching for a boarding High School for my nephew…read morein China. I also spent a day there. Students use lap tops during class with wifi access. A lot of emphases is placed on learning with a laptop. . (All wifi are turned off at 11pm at night.). Considering all standardize tests in the US are computerized (MCAT, LSAT) and most work environments in the US use electronic records exclusively, lap top in classroom is a good idea. Students come from all over the world with the goal of attending a college in the US. SVA has transformed itself in the past few years to focus on college prep for international students. Class sizes are small, usually less than 10 students per teacher. I noticed the students get alone with each other rather well. This is observed during lunch time. I see students from different countries sit next to each other. Dorm rooms are 1-4 students per room. Most of the ones I saw have 3 students in them. There is a microwave on each hall, fridge and safe in each room. Overall the rooms are larger than the one I used to live at UC Berkeley 20 years ago. (unit 1 Cheney) and much larger then the tiny rooms at Univ of Tennessee. Washers and dryers are free for students to use. At night, dorm exits have security alarms, hallways are video monitored SVA pride itself at offering a balance between academic and personal development. They encourage students to take advantage of it's location to learn many physical activities Tahoe has to offer - hiking, soccer, golfing, cycling, ski / snowboard. I think this makes SVA different from other college prep school. I have the opportunity to spoke to students there. Due to the many Saturday field trips student take, expect another $4000 or so in additional expenses. While the students like them, parents may be surprised at the bill.
