Everyone that I have met on staff seems to want to go out on a limb to help us in our endeavor to home school. There is always someone and someway to help improve ourselves as parents, students and education specialists. If I need it, they will have it for me. If they don't, they find a way to get it

I make the decisions with the help of professional people to help guide me in my teaching. Let's face it. There is not one parent or teacher that has all the bases covered. At times we all need a support group of some kind to help fill in the gaps. Read less

There is a lot of administrative problems, but the teachers and students have done really well. I love that the kids are getting a class education 2 days a week and homeschooling for core subjects 3 days. It has been the perfect mixture for my family.

The Montessori Academy has been great for my children! My daughter attended the standard public school for kindergarten and two months of 1st grade. She was in tears because the standard school would not give her anything new to learn. She is in her 3rd year at the Montessori Academy and being challenged

Both of the kids are working above the grade levels that the standard schools would have kept them in. I really like that the kids go to academy three days a week and I homeschool the other two days. It is the perfect hybrid for us. We are able to incorporate hands-on learning and field trips which bring the learning to life for all us. Read less

This could be an excellent school. They have a great curriculum and a really good idea of what this school could be. The problem here is staff that is horribly organized and seriously lacks internal communication not only amongst themselves but with parents. It is truly sad. Without proper organization

Our 7th grade daughter came from a highly challenging academic environment where she did not excel in the core subjects but did great in music and art. My husband and I wanted to keep her in a small school environment which is why we decided to enroll her in Eagles Peak, Creative Arts Academy, Vista.

My husband and I believe we are getting a good academic mix with classes she enjoys. She is thriving. REGULAR PUBLIC SCHOOLS were just not an option for us; most parents would be shocked if they knew what went on in a typical day. We are glad to be part of a school offering a solution to the public education crisis! Check out EPCS-Vista for yourself! Read less

There are no extracurricular acivities except for when you particpate in the Creative Arts Program. I didn't go up there because I was in the Dual Language Program.

The parent involvement is fine, but the only thing I saw that counted as parent involvement was them volunteering to help out in class.But the only thing I saw was them sorting and correcting papers in class.I don't really think of that as parental involvement.The discipline actions were great.No homework, no recess.Violent students were suspended.
