Montessori Harbor Mesa Elementary School

We pay for private school because the cost/ benefit is well worth the investment. Trust me, I would love to pocket that extra money but my girls education, the loving and healthy rules that are set, the kind teachers and mostly the Christ centered worldview, is more than worth it. I notice that parents, kids, educator, and the church itself all help forward the mission of making the world a better place. There are plenty of resources available to help every part of education flourish!

Our 18-month-old daughter has adapted remarkably well to group life, thanks to the attentive and caring teachers at ICMA School. Their nurturing approach has helped her transition smoothly into the school environment. Her language development has accelerated significantly, and it's clear that the structured activities contribute greatly to her progress. Each morning, the teachers dedicate time to reading books, listening to music, and dancing, which has been a wonderful way to start her day. Additionally, the school includes two outdoor activity times each day, and the teachers organize creative craft projects daily. These activities keep her engaged and excited about learning.Our 5-year-old daughter has also flourished at ICMA School. The variety of activities has enriched her learning experience. She enjoys different craft projects each day, engages in fascinating science experiments, and her math skills are advancing well. The curriculum also includes a focus on understanding animals and insects, which has sparked her curiosity. Moreover, the school celebrates each holiday with special activities, adding an extra layer of excitement and engagement to her learning journey.We are truly grateful for the positive impact it has had on both of our daughters.

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.
