Great school that give a unique public school opportunity for kids to learn a new language!!!

This is a great little school and I feel that it's a high quality education. I was able to get an IEP for my kiddo without too much trouble. I love that the school is a lighthouse school for the 7 Habits, and that kids are taught these leadership lessons early on. This past year, it seems the 7 habits have been dropped, but I hope they pick that up again because that was what made this little school exemplary and unique. It does have a number of students learning English as a second language, but so far, they've handled this seamlessly.

I love Community of Peace Academy. All three of my sons have attended this school, and the attention and care they have received is amazing. The teachers are very experienced, and many of them have been at the school for 10+ years. This school really values relationships and peace. Of course kids have conflicts that come up, but the school teaches them conflict resolution skills to work through it, and when a kid gets in trouble, they are expected to right their wrongs. One of my sons had some behavior issues when he was little, and even though some days he was breaking rules multiple times (like, double digits), the teacher still treated him with kindness and gave him the chance to grow and improve his behaviors. Neither I nor my son ever felt like the teacher was mad or disliked him despite his challenges. The patience, love, and unconditional positive regard is so evident at this school. I also felt like my kids were challenged academically. For example, my middle boy was an early reader, and the teacher provided him with individualized lessons to help him grow at his own speed. I highly recommend this school.

I am someone that use to go to Academia Cesar Chavez and i loved my time there the teachers were kind the staff was kind the councilors were kind and i loved learning there. Family was really big there and they made me feel apart of them and the school and people there will always have a place in my heart.
