Think twice before you sign the contract. There is a lot of wealth at this school, and a lot of parent involvement, which can be both good and bad. Teachers are great, but academics is placed above the emotional lives of the children, even in preschool. Our child is bright/gifted and sensitive (the

My child attended Pegasus in kindergarten. Although it's supposedly a school for 'bright and gifted' kids, mostly it's a school for wealthy Newport Beach/Coast kids. It's almost all white, and the academic ability of the kids in my child's class had just as big of a spread as that of kids in public
... Read more school classes later on. Teacher quality varies tremendously. Ours was good, but another kindergarten teacher who'd been there for many years was terrible. The curriculum is no better than that in a good school district, though it does have the advantage of more art, music, and science. Still, science in kindergarten was almost always videos--a real disappointment. The best thing about Pegasus is the small class size--18-20, with 2 teachers. But that's definitely not worth the money--save yours, send your kid to a good public school in K-8, and supplement with enrichment classes. Read less
