Loyola Corners

I feel like it was a waste of money. It would have been better to go to public school. I don’t even want to call these people ‘teachers.’

Absolutely love the school, we have 3 children attending here. Would not move to public school. STEM, art & sports are strong, music & theater need improvement, very small band. All my children's teacher so far have been fantastic. We have 2 children that have moved through the preschool as well, which I highly recommend, although I would say those classrooms are large 25+ kids, so not as much individual support for 3s/4s as I would like. Kids are academically challenged and very well prepared to succeed!

My daughter has been at St. Nicholas Catholic School for the past two years. When she first started, she was very shy and had difficulty making friends. Ms. Robbin gave her wonderful guidance in building social skills, and over time she became more confident, made good friends, and now feels very happy and supported at school. The community is kind and welcoming, and both students and teachers are very friendly.Academically, the school provides a solid education without creating too much pressure. My daughter enjoys learning, and I especially appreciate that they offer different learning groups to support students at different levels. Overall, we have had a very positive experience at St. Nicholas.

We absolutely love our experience at LACS. We have a TK student, a 2nd grader, and a 4th grader at the school, and it has been an incredible fit for our family. The school provides the nurturing, sheltered environment our children need while also challenging them academically to reach their full potential.One of the things I appreciate most is the school's commitment to each child's social, emotional, and spiritual development. The faculty intentionally cultivates a positive, encouraging environment where children feel known, supported, and valued.Academically, the school is rigorous, and we have seen tremendous growth in our children's reading comprehension, math skills, confidence, and love of learning. We wholeheartedly recommend LACS to families looking for a school that excels in both character development and academic excellence.

We spent five years at WSP Los Altos in the early childhood years. Their early childhood program (preschool and kindergarten) are the best if a family can afford the private school fee. The teachers and staff are exceptionally trained and dedicated to students in classroom. However, we had a very depressing experience in Grade 1 which was utterly chaotic from a management and learning standpoint. Not only were the educators lacking teaching experience (not meeting the criteria to teach as per the California public school guidelines), but the entire program philosophy is not backed by science of learning but is grounded in Rudolf Steiner's views on education. Their was minimal intervention or support for the neurodivergent students in the classroom.There is no rigour to provide documented written feedback on child performance till end of Grade 1 and parent perspective on educational outcomes is disregarded. The student's notebooks were sent for parent review at the end of school year, we noticed that our child had written less than 2 dozen pages in the entire school year. Their is no standardized child progress protocol and it boils down to a happy childhood environment without concrete deliverables on language arts / maths / science / social studies. The focus on outdoor learning and arts / music as integral to child development deserves an applaud. In our view the public schools are better equipped if you are looking for standardized school protocols and accountability on performance. If you are looking for a happy childhood, WSP is a great school to begin your school journey.
