Thought the school itself seems aged the staff is wonderful and very easy to communicate with. My children love their school and are full of school spirit and pride. The faculty really seems to make the absolute most out of what they have. Cheers to principal Dr Ashby and all of the lovely faculty.

"This is Old Town Monterey. Spaghetti Hill, settled by Italian fishermen whose founding families ply their trade to this day. The Defense Language Institute above. The small downtown below. The original capital of California. Lots of history and events. Big Sur,Pinnacles, etc. This is Steinbeck country. If you can afford it, it’s great."

"My daughter lives with her husband and my ex-wife lives in Sonoma near Morton’s pool. I live in Monterey which is a beautiful area but gets crowded all summer (and much of the rest of the year) with tourists for the many events they offer. When I came out to visit, the older houses and natural areas made me decide to commit to moving out here."
