Marlborough School

I have been extremely fortunate to have been a part of this community for the last 10 years. This school has TK-8 grade and has a very strong academic curriculum. The school is a catholic school and also implements religion into the courses the children learn. I have had children in the LAUSD system as well, and hands down recommend Christ the King school to any and all parents. It offers an amazing teaching community for the students and a strong community for families overall. In addition to academics, you can expect strong athletic programming. The school offers flag football, volleyball, basketball, and track and field from grades 3+. Soccer is offered for grades 7-8. They have a choir program, Drama club, Stage crew, music and dance classes as well. This school is the most affordable school in its area, and financial aid is available. Stop by for a visit, I promise you will be impressed.

My son began his journey at St. James Episcopal School as a kindergartener in 2019 and is now a proud graduating 6th grader. Shortly after he started, the pandemic hit and in-person classes transitioned to online learning. As you can imagine, kindergarten virtually was not easy. But, I was especially impressed by how quickly and effectively St. James adapted. They didn’t miss a beat—his kindergarten teacher (Ms. Leonard) was outstanding, and the support we received was thoughtful and responsive. Over the years, our son has truly thrived—academically, socially, and emotionally. The teachers are deeply committed, the curriculum is engaging, and the sense of community is strong and genuine. It stands out for its excellence, warmth, and culture. As we prepare to say goodbye, we do so with immense gratitude. We will miss the St. James family dearly, but we leave confident that our son was in the right place—one that helped shape him into a confident, curious, and kind young learner.
