Rosemary Elementary School

We were so grateful for the incredible level of care and quality instruction our son Arthur received at the Montessori Academy of Campbell over the 3.5 years he attended. Arthur attended MAC at 18 months and we stayed until he was ready for kindergarten. During his time at MAC, I felt that Arthur's teachers and the leadership team there (Christina and Svetlana) made a lasting, positive impact on his early development and nurtured his growth into the respectful, kind, intellectually-curious person he's becoming. I know he felt loved and cared for there, and that gave me a lot of peace as a working mom. Sending Arthur to MAC was truly one of the best decisions we made for him. It gave him such a strong foundation socially, emotionally, and academically. While it was hard to say goodbye, we felt confident he was more than ready for his next chapter thanks to the wonderful experience he had there.

I love Casa however, this honest review is for the sake of the current or new parents & kids for Primary programs only. - Always have both Parent's & Teacher's meeting together in person or emails, do not just talk to teachers after school by yourself or drop off & pick up line. Keep in mind that there is only 1 assigned main teacher for your kid, not three teachers. In order to get any other Teacher's feedback or prospective, you will need to request a meeting all together in person including the Primary Director. Otherwise, you can only talk to one main teacher for 3 years. - If you see or hear your child is frustrated at school for any reason, request a Teacher and Parent's meeting asap. You can also request multiple class observation(s) for yourself & your spouse for a specific class sessions or recess observations 30 min each. Talk to your kid and see how your kid might be struggling to ask for help or help them describe how they feel. Listen to your child and try to address any behavior concerns asap, not weeks later.- If you happen to get all good feedbacks on the conference reports twice year, make sure you arrange many playdates for your kid outside the school. This way you can see how your kid interact with the peers socially. Talk to other Parents and see how other kids are doing at school. Do not just rely on the conference reports. If you see any behavior concerns, let the teachers know so they can also pay closer look especially during the recess time. - You can see the academic curriculum progress report on the Transparent conference reports from the Kindergarten year only. There is absolutely nothing for the first 2 Primary years progress, unless you request them from the teachers. Do not just take Teacher's word for it and follow up to see what was done, things your child is good at or not good at see if there is anything you can do to help. - Finally, feel free to give Parent's feedback to Primary Director and Head of the school assistant or Head of the school. Especially if you're having any communication issues with the teachers. They will at least try to help communicate better for the sake of your child. I hope this review is helpful where Casa can improve the lake of communication issues in Primary program in the future. Hopefully we can have better experience soon and I will follow up with the review within the next 3 months.

bad teachers and poor hiring choices, uncomfortable environments, unfortunate lack of support

The quality of academics are much lower than high rated public schools and based on their tuitions, they don't provide the academic services.They don't have too much activities, the only provided sport's program is West Valley dance, which is in entire of their group, but it is too expensive, because they are charging monthly and all academic Holidays, federal holidays and state holidays have off without any makeup!Their ratio in average is 20:1, completely different than their website. If you asked them, they say clear that their websites are not updated and they won't to update either, because they want to have their business only and nobody cares that. But remember if you ask them before the enrollment, they confirm their websites. I am sorry for an academic system that teach to their kids to be not honestly, if you want to make money!!! During the COVID, they follow only a part of guideline, which doesn't effect on their business. If they follow the guidelines, the classes should not be more than 15 kids with 6 feet spaces apart, but some classes, even higher levels like 3th and 4th, have 22-23 kids in one room!!! I can't find any point to invite you for enrolling your kids!!!

We're enjoying our experience with Old Orchard School. Great academics, small community, warm atmosphere. Excellent place for the kids to learn and grow.

Little Tree Montessori in Campbell is a fantastic find. The dedicated teachers, with consistent English and Chinese instructors in each classroom, create a supportive environment for both children and parents. Even the youngest students (starting at 18 months) learn foundational skills like sharing and social interaction, alongside early literacy and numeracy. The school also emphasizes performance, which builds valuable public speaking skills. We were impressed by how well the preschoolers thrive with the Montessori approach. The optional daily hot lunch, featuring both Chinese and American options, is a convenient bonus for busy families. Compared to other local programs, Little Tree offers excellent value. Both of my sons have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the school, benefiting from the curriculum and the caring teachers.
