Children's Workshop School

I do not recommend this school to families of Black, Ethiopian, or African descent. Principal Kim James does not uphold Catholic values when it comes to treating all children and families with dignity and respect. Children of Black, Ethiopian, and African descent are unfairly labeled as troublemakers, even when their behavior does not warrant such treatment, and they are singled out in ways that are harmful and stigmatizing. Families from these backgrounds are made to feel unwelcome and less valued in this community. No child should ever have their race or ethnicity used as a reason to feel “less than,” especially in a school that claims to be guided by faith and Catholic values. A principal who does not view all children as equal and valuable based on their skin color should hold no position of leadership in a Catholic school.I hope the San Diego Catholic Diocese looks into these claims and makes changes to ensure better leadership when hiring principals. If we are to uphold the Gospel and spread God’s love, we must remember: God loves all His children. That is the foundation on which this school’s leadership should stand.

I love this school. The new principal has been great. She is quiet but behind scenes she gets the job done. All proceeds go directly towards the school and you can see where it goes. I have no complaints of this school. The last principal was very open and social, however i dont think she handled a lot of situations correctly. Which could be why there were so many turnovers the past years. There is homework, and your children will be up to date if not, further than expected for their grade levels. Parent involvement is required. Its a great way to meet the other families, its been my sons third year at this school and weve made some great friends. Overall its a great school, well behaved educated kids. Theyre putting money into a new stem lab, something is always being improved. I chose Nazareth bc a number of different clients of mine had recommended it. Some were teachers, doctors, lawyers, librarians, they all recommended it. And some had kids who went or had graduated from Nazareth and from what I have observed, they grew to become smart hard working well rounded people. Whatever theyre doing at this school seems to be working.
