Sonora Elementary School

From the moment we visited MCS I knew this school is exactly where our family was meant to be. I had visited several schools and didn’t get that “this is it” feeling until we came here. Our family has been blessed to be a part of MCS for 10 years. It’s a beautiful thing to know that my children can be at a school where there is a firm foundation in Christ and that our school is unwavering in our commitment to Christian education and academic excellence. The administration, staff and teachers have had such a strong impact in molding my childrens’ academic and spiritual formation. I know the years spent here will forever be cherished and valued in their hearts and mine.

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.

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.
