Castro-Upper Market

Very bad experience. I'm not recommending . Low level

Overall, it’s an untrustworthy operation with opaque communication and bad faith business practices. Academic commitment is good-not-great, performing arts is mediocre (relative to how it’s showcased), and, most importantly, civility and behavioral imperatives are insisted upon, but not modeled. Stay far, far away.

This school is not academically challenging. They claim that they have their own custom curriculum - it’s a joke. There is no text book - instead, they get poorly photocopied worksheets from other text books that other schools use. They don’t teach history, they don’t give grades, there are no consequences for being late, disruptive, and not doing homework or doing poorly on an asssessment. If you want your child to be academically prepared for middle school or high school, don’t go here. We left a few years ago and have not looked back! I still stay in contact with some of the families and all I hear are complaints even though on social media, they post about how wonderful the parent community is (which it is) and how great that their kids get to go on an exchange program to Taipei. The parents never complain publicly about the school, but behind closed doors, they definitely do.
