Very average school and with the amount of tuition being paid your better off taking a great vacation and sending your child to the local public school.

Learning is mastery based, where students take responsibility for their education and learn to challenge themselves through the CA Standards- Based curriculum. My daughter has learned how to manage her time and complete the daily assignments at her own pace and in the order she prefers. Mrs. Reeves is great. She communicates with parents and the kids learn a lot from her. Mr Lehyman, the new principal, is excellent. As a university professor, I know what I'm looking for... Read less

The new Principal has really made a difference. The academics are excellent, and the campus is beautiful. When I drop my kid off in the Morning, I know that she will learn and be well taken care of. The Staff is kind, patient, and professional. What more could you ask for from a private school?

I have a student at this school and he loves it. I have found working with the teachers for my students needs to be very stress-free and they are extremely accommodating. My son loves getting to go to the science lab and working with Mr. Byrum. He is a great science teacher and the kids love him.

We left the Rancho Santa Fe school district to come to this school. We have never regretted this decision. Now, I couldn't tear my daughter away from this school.
