La Jolla Village

TCS is a wonderful school and my child continues to grow and thrive socially and academically. The teaching staff is the best there is, and the reason we continue to stay!

Our family’s experience at this school has been exceptional. My wife, who previously taught within the Diocese, has been genuinely blown away by the experience, dedication, professionalism, and care shown by the teachers and staff.The school provides a truly Christ-centered environment that helps children grow into thoughtful, grounded, and compassionate young people who are well prepared academically and highly respected in high school admissions. What stands out most is the strong sense of community and character development woven into everyday life.Even families who are not Catholic feel welcomed, supported, and fulfilled here, which speaks volumes about the culture the school has created.Having looked at other schools and transferring from one into SMA, we have been blown away by the individual attention and quality of academics.We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this special place for our family.

Both my kids started at MBMA this past year (in Kindergarten and Second Grade), and we couldn't be happier with their experiences! They are excited to go to school every day and bubbling over with knowledge they want to share when they come home. MBMA provides a challenging and engaging academic environment without the stress of similarly rigorous academic programs. The teachers are extremely passionate about what they do and bring the best out of their students. MBMA also provides extremely high-quality specialty classes (Art, Advanced Math, Chinese, Computer Science, Music, PE, Science, and Spanish) and extracurriculars, and arguably has the best Band Program of any elementary school in the area. Having come from another local private school, I never imagined my kids would beg to stay late and be upset if I picked them up 10 minutes early on a Friday. We are very grateful to have found such a wonderful school for our kids!
