Winter Gardens Elementary School

Amazing school! I researched a lot before decided on a school for my kids (we live in a different district) and chose this school for their Mandarin program. I have two kids in 1st & 5th grade mandarin immersion program. They learned so much at school and the teachers are so great! They also have cultural experience, performance during Lunar New Year festival, International Fair, etc. My kids now can understand, write and speak in Mandarin! Learning a second language from a free public school is a very rare opportunity here in San Diego. Not a lot of schools offer this. They also have Spanish immersion program. I recommend this school!

Absolutely love this preschool. Our daughter has been attending for a little under a year. She had some difficulty adjusting at first, but the teachers and staff worked closely with her and US to help her feel comfortable. Now she’s thriving and truly enjoys her time there. Every day she comes home excited to tell me about the new friends she’s made, what she’s learned, and the fun interactions she’s had with her teachers. I would highly recommend this school to friends and family!

This school has changed my family entirely for the better. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcome by the principal herself, who knows everybody by name. The teachers and the curriculum are on point and advanced compared to other Catholic schools. I’m so happy to see that my daughter’s 1st grade teacher welcomed her with open arms. Their preschool program is great and welcomes all kids who are potty trained which was very convenient having both kids go there. Thank you for all you have done for my family. This schools mission is build around God, Faith, teaching the kids morals values and discipline but more importantly really good education. It’s still a diverse school in some ways which is very important in my opinion. The sports program is great both my kids now finally love sports playing with their classmates in teams etc. Some fundraisers like the annual gala and golf tournament and turkey trot (jog a thon) are fun and exciting for parents and kids!!! Great sense of community also.
