My oldest is now in the Primary class with Maestra Michelle and Maestra Aurora, and my second is finishing the toddler class with Ms Karla and her assistants, Ms Melissa, Ms Ally, and Ms Marissa. The most comforting part for me is to know that my kids are in great care with their teachers. I randomly received personal messages from Ms Karla and Maestra Michelle about my kids' day, their accomplishments, or just something silly they did, with a picture! I cannot express how lucky we are to have teachers that genuinely love the kids so much. It has been such joy to see our kids thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and in every way! I remember when they first started school, they were little people that barely knew how to talk. Day after day, month after month, they started to put words together, making sentences, then started to tell stories about their day at school. One day they surprised me with putting away their own toy! Then another surprise, putting on their own shoes! They learned independence, and courtesy, and so much more! We are so happy that our kids are at Arborland, thriving under lots of love and care. Thank you Arborland! Especially to the teachers and staffs!!

Because of Arborland, my child is now a strong public speaker, excels academically, and has formed lasting friendships.

Choosing Arborland was one of the best decisions our family has ever made.

Our children are still young, and this year marked a big transition for our family as we returned to Southern California after several years on the East Coast due to work. With so much change, it was incredibly important to us to find a school that truly felt like home. We toured four schools and attended events at each before ultimately deciding to enroll at St. Juliana. From the very beginning, it stood out as the right place for our family, and that feeling has only been confirmed throughout the year. In our first year, our children had the opportunity to participate in two performances and enjoy so many enriching activities, including weekly themed Fish Frys, book club, choir, visits from the Environmental Nature Center with live animals, and creative programs like Origami and 3D Printing Club. These experiences have made their transition even more meaningful and memorable!

It is a wonderful group of families, teachers and parishioners to raise your kids in. Each teacher takes the time to get to know your kids, their learning style and help them grow not just academically, but in their faith and socially! They have incredible community events such as fall festival (carnival in September), trunk or treat, advent program, fish fry each Friday during lent, spring sing and Vacation Bible School in the summer! There are numerous after school activities - choir, robotics, school sports, and musical theater. We are very grateful for this community and its impact on our children!

Orangethorpe Elementary is a fantastic school with caring staff and teachers, wonderful facilities…read moresuch as a "Sherwood Forest" dedicated to outdoor learning and a robotics lab, and great socio-emotional support for my kids. We are part of the unique Orangethorpe Multiage Program on campus, and my kids have thrived! When I found the Orangethorpe Multiage Program I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. The Multiage's individualized curriculum has let my kids work grade levels ahead even since Kindergarten. They come to me after school so excited about a "hard" math problem they solved or that they used a new "juicy" word in their writing. Their learning has never had to slow down. Their curious minds are always fed with hands-on learning and monthly field trips. One of my kids has always wanted to be an engineer and he got to develop all those skills with an amazing roller coaster project. He learned to cooperate with his team, trouble shoot and struggle through failures, and help other kids with their projects too. At the end, we had a field trip to Knott's Berry Farm and we stayed from opening to close because we have so much fun with the other Multiage families. Another kid is a talented artist and loves that art is always in the classroom, but most especially when they get to draw nature from the class garden and on field trips to the Arboretum. The classroom itself is beautiful and inspiring. It is covered with artwork, writing, and giant math problems that kids work on over days. The primary class is huge and filled with a library of books, all of which any child of any grade can read. It is always warm and friendly with smiling kids and parents. The teachers know exactly what my kids need academically and support them emotionally with understanding, patience, and kind words. So grateful to have found the Orangethorpe Multiage Program!

Starting w/ his kindergarten teachers Miss Cole & Miss Rockoz who were loving, caring, patient & supportive from the very beginning. They created such a warm & nurturing environment that Leo still talks about them often, even now in first grade. He truly misses them, which speaks volumes about the kindness & care they showed him every single day. I would also like to give a very special thank you to his wonderful 1st grade teachers, Mrs. Villaruel, Miss Shannon & Miss Caroleena. From the start of the school year they have made Leo feel welcome, comfortable, & genuinely loved in the classroom. Their patience, encouragement & positive energy have helped him grow academically. They have created a safe & caring environment where he feels confident, happy & excited to learn every day. It means so much to know that Leo is surrounded by teachers & administrative staff like Miss Bree & Miss Kristine who truly care about their students & always go above & beyond to support them. We are incredibly thankful for the love, dedication & kindness they show every day. Thank you Mrs. Veronica Chen & Dr. Chen keep up the great work

This was our family's first year at this school, and it ended up meaning so much to us…read more My son who just turned 3, had Ms. Orozco, and at the beginning of the year he was very shy and had a hard time adjusting. Ms. Orozco was so patient, warm, and encouraging that she made him feel comfortable right away. Over time, we watched him slowly open up, and before long he was actually excited to go to school. He would come home talking about her and everything he was learning, and it was such a joy to see how much confidence she helped him build. She truly helped him break out of his shell, and we are amazed by how much he learned this year. Ms. Orozco is truly an exceptional teacher. My daughter had Ms. Hernandez and Ms. Tan as she entered 2nd grade, and she was also a little shy because she didn't know anyone. They were so kind and supportive and really encouraged her to make new friends and feel like she belonged. We saw such wonderful growth in her throughout the year, both emotionally and academically, and that means so much to us as parents. It was clear that they truly care about their students and want to see them succeed. We also want to thank the front office staff, who were always great and made communication easy throughout the year. They were helpful, welcoming, and always pleasant to work with. The principal is also very attentive and approachable, which made us feel even more confident in the school. Overall, we are so grateful for the love, support, and dedication shown to our children this year. It was a wonderful first year, and we truly appreciate everyone who played a part in helping our kids grow and feel happy at school. We can't wait to see the kids continue to grow in this school system over the years to come
