This review is only for the pre-school side. My son is in 2yr old class. The teachers are very loving and kind. He's been there 6 months and he loves it. The menu isn't great, but it is the same as the SGVUSD. They have lots of fun activities for the little ones. Every week my son shows me the little

The pre-school has an open play ground is big enough for them to run around, ride in cars and they also have a separated play area just for the 2/3 year olds. The kids there seem very happy.

Here's my point of view: if you want to gain great knowledge, come to this school; if you want to play sports or eat great food, don't come. This school is great academically. I have learned much in this school. It has helped me a lot in life. This school is also a bit more challenging than public schools.
... Read more It causes students to use more effort. I have personally been to this school since pre-school, so I do know how the school is. I am currently in the 8th grade, and I soon will graduate. I would recommend you to send your child to this school, if academics is the main focus. By the way, Clovers is the name. :) Read less

This school is pretty small. It's basically everyone knows everyone, so it is really good for making close friends. The teachers there are also pretty nice. However, the rules are really strict, such as not being able to bring a simple waterbottle to school. Their lunch selection is also pretty limited.
