Mariners Christian School

I have had two daughters graduate from SJB. With four children and being a teacher myself, I have experienced all kinds of different school settings. I wish we had been at SJB for all of my children's education.

This school is great. The director is amazing she runs a great school. My daughter loves her teachers so much. Ms. Franea is an amazing teacher, she is very friendly, gentle but she also pushes them to learn and grow. This school is amazing.

When I started researching schools for my first child, I had a long list of requirements: a Mandarin immersion program (culturally important to us), strong safety protocols, happy and stable teachers, and a philosophy of raising respectful global citizens—not just checking boxes for academics. I asked every question I could think of, from how they handle sickness to how teachers are supported, and I observed everything from class ratios to daily routines. We visited several schools, but ultimately chose Frontiers, and I’m so glad we did. The difference was clear: attrition among instructors was low, and my son’s teacher had been there for many years. To me, happy teachers = happy kids. From the start, the staff were warm, communicative, and professional. I’ve been consistently impressed by their attention to detail, safety standards, and how thoughtfully they care for each child. Beyond the nurturing environment, the academics are truly top-notch. It's a trilingual school so teaches in English, Spanish, and Mandarin. The curriculum is rigorous; I love that my son is being challenged intellectually while also building confidence, creativity, and curiosity. What gave me peace of mind is knowing my child is not only in a stable environment but also one where learning is engaging, meaningful, and sets a high bar. Communication has been excellent—I always feel in the loop. I’ve seen firsthand that the children are thriving, not only in Spanish or Mandarin but in all aspects of their development. If you’re a parent who values stability, honesty, safety, and outstanding academics in a school culture where teachers are genuinely happy—Frontiers stands out. It checked every box on my list.
