My son's father is a LAUSD employee and that STILL WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. Exceptions need to be made for special children. Ultimately trip was cancelled Because of LA fires, but they held their ground.

Such a great little school…read more All three of my girls went and graduated from there and now, my oldest grand daughter goes. Next year, my second oldest will be attending and in just a few more years, my two youngest grandbabies will be attending! Heck, the wifey even worked as an aide way, waaaaaay back in the day! Great teachers, great staff and great facilities. Only problem, (and it really has nothing to do with the school), is the traffic in general, but more specifically, during school hours. Some people don't know how to slow down, watch where they are going or even relinquish the right of way to pedestrians. Always tryin' to beat a damn street signal... There are little ones out there people!!! Slow your dumbasses down and watch out for kids / parents!

From the owner: Autism Support Created by Autists…read more All services at OurTism were created by autists. We understand the need to feel heard because, as autists, we have lived this ourselves.

We listen and honor all individuals and their needs. We collaborate with our clients. We created the support we needed. We hope the services we created for ourselves work just as well for you.

We are truly blessed to have found such a safe, loving environment for our children. The campus is beautiful and the equipment is new. Kids can really be just kids. They run around and play. We love watching our kids actually moving their bodies and working out. They plead to go to afterschool camp every day. The class sizes are amazing. There are assistant teachers in each classroom. If a student needs more assistance they can easily get it, instead of struggling alone. Dr. Chun is an amazing Principal and runs the school like a well oiled machine. The character values they instill Caring Attitude Respect Gratitude Perseverance Self Control are amazing. I wish they had a high school too.

This school is probably best for people who have artistic children (think of theater or drama kids)…read moreor kids who have special needs (developmental impediments which require them to need an aide physically with them or need smaller group sizes). This school does not focus on academic rigor. There is no homework or grades until 4th grade. The amount of regression in education we witnessed was sad, anger inducing, and extremely upsetting. We wasted a year of tuition and our child's time and would NEVER recommend this school for children who are not special needs or have other socialization issues.

My daughter came to the CLU community three years ago and the experience for her has been nothing…read moreshort of wonderful. We were given a list of non-public schools to choose from during a time when a public school wasn't the right fit for her. After touring several different non-public school options, CLU was honestly the only choice I felt comfortable with. Compared to the other options, it was a smaller, more nurturing environment for her to heal and grow within, which was exactly the type of space I was hoping to find for her. She's made so much positive progress during her time at CLU that she will be transitioning back into a public school setting starting next school year. A huge part of that transition being possible is the safe, loving community that CLU has provided for her over the past few years. As for the negative reviews on this page, it seems like most of them come from families who have never attended CLU, or who interacted with CLU's previous leadership team. My daughter attended CLU under the previous leadership (led by a woman named Ginny), and now attends under the new leadership team, lead by Jen Mize. While I never had an issue with anything under Ginny's leadership, I will say that there have been so many wonderful improvements and expansions that have come from Jen's leadership so far. Everything feels much more organized, and Jen has really excelled at building a warm, mindful space centered around inclusion and care. Every time I go to the school for an event or volunteer opportunity, the space is filled with love from the entire community. As happy as I am for my girl as she moves forward on her path, I'm a little heartbroken at the thought of leaving this community. I'll have to see if she can come back to visit. :)

We have been treated like family over the years - our children feel safe and known by their teachers and any questions or requests to the administration or teachers have been promptly and thoughtfully addressed. Our oldest child and middle school graduate, who now attends public high school, feels like she was well prepared academically and personally by teachers who challenged her to think critically and by expectations to be kind and respectful. There is obviously no perfect school and we are grateful to have found a school that aligns with our values!

They instill the importance of independence and accountability at an early age. I have three very different students attending RHCDS and each one is thriving in their own way - a true testament to the school. The teachers are approachable and accessible and operate with a purpose to inspire and push students while also maintaining a fun and warm atmosphere. My children feel respected, comfortable and confident in the classroom which is a culture that cultivates growth across all facets of the child's development.

She is everything you hope for in an advocate--caring, dedicated, and truly invested in helping kids succeed. From the start, Eryn made a real connection with both my daughter and me. She took the time to get to know us, to listen, and to understand my daughter's unique needs. What touched me the most is how much she genuinely cares--not just about the process, but about my daughter's growth, confidence, and future. Having Eryn by our side has made all the difference. She's not only knowledgeable and effective, but she brings so much heart into her work. I'm beyond grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for an advocate who will truly be there for them.

Ms Jenn is his speech therapist and she is so sweet and patient with him and always thinking of ways to build his vocabulary.
