We love majestic way!! We moved our kid from private school and couldn't have been happier. The school gives him enough homework and gets him engaged in interesting activities such as talent week, building robots etc. he hates weekends and loves to be in school all the time

This is a great school, but their math curriculum just really sucks. We use CPM, supposed to mean college prep math I guess, but it's just such a bad curriculum, it has so many tedious things and meaningless questions asking about our understanding. CPM in my opinion, is literally more of a language arts curriculum. The pace our textbook moves at is so slow and filled with random ways (IN WHICH WE ARE OBLIGATED TO FOLLOW AND DO) to do equations that are actually HARDER to understand and could be far easier and faster if it just told us the most efficient ways and equations to use. There are WHOLE CHAPTERS about learning a single EXTREMELY SIMPLE concept in which you only need to remember the formula. You could really learn these things in a single day, perhaps a week or two to get familiarized with using this formula. BUT NO, this curriculum gives you a MONTH of nonstop telling you to always EXPLAIN your steps of SIMPLE ADDITION and things, and it really messes up your knowledge a bit with making you tired with those for no reason whatsoever. CPM promotes using harder ways to do things (for example actually multiplying out big fractions without cancelling out the factors), AND YOU'RE FORCED TO FOLLOW IT, before learning the efficient way. If you want to go to this school, I would recommend also learning some math online or extracurricularily, because this curriculum, CPM, quite messes up the experience of learning math, and also is kind of confusing. Overall, the other subjects are pretty okay or good, and Sierramont's music department is nice. Also, I am sincerely sorry if some parts of this review sound informal with the capitalization, I very much express strong dislike for our tedious mathematics curriculum.ok yeah bye raged abt cpm it sincerely sucks as the main educational curriculum for math*so tedious and slow in moving through the subjects*gives all the less efficient ways to do things instead of just going over the efficient way more and well*...I mean it's alright if you just survive it it just teaches in such a weird inefficient way when we could go much faster if it tried to make us understand the concepts better

This school develops strong character in its students, like integrity, compassion and respect. Teachers here are great,understanding and caring. My son learn many things here and I'm very happy .
